Zelda64 Models

[SoulofDeity]

btw RodLima, I forgot to mention that you can make the animations import a lot faster if you buffer segment 7. that's how the model itself imports so fast.

Um, but the normal models that don't use the segment_07 took same time to import, I think it take some time because blender uses only one core to do the python Transforms

that shouldn't be a problem at all. if the script can convert / export 20+ textures and locate / import 21 + display lists, texture / position / and skin all of them instantaneously, there's no reason why a few matrix instructions should cause it to lag out so badly. All modern games execute hundreds of matrix instructions a second.

The only thing that should cause such a bad lag is if you're using file operations. Aside from segment_07, are you using the already buffered data for segment_05/06, or are you using a file handle?

EDIT:
As far as arrays in python go, its simple.

Code:

myarray = []   # initialize an empty array
myarray = [0, 2, 3]  #initialize an array
myarray[0] = 1   # assign an element
myarray[1:]   # this is a slice of just [2, 3]
myarray[:1]   # this is a slice of just [1, 2]
myarray[:-1]  # this is a slice of just [1, 2]
myarray.append(4)   # add 1 item to an array
myarray.extend([4])  # add items from another array to this array
offset = 0
val = unpack_from(">L", myarray, offset)[0]   # read a big endian unsigned long value (long = 32 bit) from the array

# unpack_from returns a tuple. the first argument is the format specifier where:
#    > = big endian,    < = little endian
#    capital letter = unsigned, lowercase letter = signed
#    B = byte,   H = halfword (16-bit, 2 bytes)  L = long (32-bit, 4 bytes)
# if you did unpack_from(">LLL", myarray, offset), it would return a tuple with 3 items because 3 L's

# how to buffer a file
file = open(filename, 'rb')
myarray = file.read()
file.close()
