cRPG Items/Armor Viewer (cRPG fashion, now with heraldics)

[cmp]

Have you thought about converting BRFs directly to three.js model format? The former is easy to parse and should translate quite well to the latter.

[zagibu]

I'm not sure how hard it is to parse binary in javascript. Might look into it.

And yeah, the data size is pretty big, currently 1-2 MB for each armor. The good thing is that browsers cache the stuff, so it won't be redownloaded again and again by the same user.

Ah, I was wondering what the bandwidth usage would be per user. Even with caching, that could eat up a lot of space if someone loaded every single item type.

Not trying to deter you from doing this; I think it's a great idea. Good luck!

[zagibu]

It looks still acceptable with 512x512 textures and better compression, weighing in at about a third of a MB per armor. You see the JPEG compression if you zoom in, and some details are a little blurry, but it's still better than a flat picture.

I though at first that it was chadz team work and you were just giving us a heads-up 

Impressive for one man!

[Elio]

Impressive work.

I'm just afraid of the items size.

Actually on website it takes around 7 kB per thumbnail pictures and 30 kB for big pictures.
Actually your solution for 1 item takes 250 kB per item? 150 kB per js?

According to my past specifications about bandwidth If you can reduce the number of polygons this could be viable.

I admit that 200 pixels is not very big but it was the limit imposed, I don't know if today chadz has more means to cRPG.

(See bellow 300k per item)

But anyway I prefer your solution.

Nice work looks like it would be great addition if it works.

I remember a Warcraft III modding website where players could upload their 3D models and it would automatically be viewable in a 3D viewer in every models page - Including changing their team color, watching their animations etc. Quite some intradasting stuff.

*EDIT* Found it.

Yeah, that's also webgl-based, nice find.

Yeah, i was trying to get animation to work with this demo. I got it to work, btw.

[Tomas_Miles_again]

Goddamn my graphics card

[zagibu]

I finally got animations working. Had to modify the three.js blender exporter script, because it only handles quaternions. Hit CTRL + F5 to see the warband stand_man animation being played.

Next up is trying to insert head etc. and get it working with the current animation.

IT'S ALIVE!

This is glorious

I hope it will be better to use than doing everything by hand in OpenBRF.
