Experimental H3D tool

SPICA

Experimental H3D tool for serializing/deserializing BCH.

Dependencies:

• .NET Framework 4.6.2
• OpenGL 3.3 at least
• OpenTK
• OpenTK.GLControl
  • Both can be found on NuGet.
  • Note: The version of OpenTK.GLControl on NuGet is broken, so it's recommended to build it yourself from source and manually add a reference to the compiled library.
  • OpenTK git can be found here.

Linux/Mac Support

SPICA can be built on Linux/Mac using Mono. See README.mono.md for details.

Modder Notes (multi-motion export for pokemon sun)

specifically pokemon fans, although possibly not limited to just that realm. DAE files are kind of a pain, but they are open source and easily manipulated. I needed a simple way to combine N animations into a single dae file. Spica already supported single animation exports, yet i hate blender, so prefer to create the game ready models and animations programatically.

what you'll need

1. get a decrypted .3ds file (possible called .cia)
2. visual studio 2017 community
3. DotNet.3DS.Toolkit (i used 1.2.0)
4. PUYOTOOLS (i built from source)
5. PK3DS (build 354 - others may work)
6. SPICA
7. UNITY3D

Step 1. DotNet.3DS.Toolkit extract from rom

• use DotNet.3DS.Toolkit to extract the already decrpyted cia/.3ds file
  • (make sure outputs are placed in a diff directory)

Step 2. PK3DS unpack a GARC

• Open PK3DS and choose tools>Misc Tools> Un(pack)+BCLIM
• Drag the garc from a/0/9/4 in the first field while holding ctrl.
• When it's done, you'll have 0000.bin - 10422.bin

Step 3. PUYOTOOLS batch decrypt all the .bins

• just use the prebuilt binary!
• or build yourself
  • git clone [email protected]:nickworonekin/puyotools.git
  • build in visual studio 2017
• run and decompress the entire directory output by the pk3ds tool
• you now have 10k files with all the pkmn data in it an uncompressed for spica

Step 4A. SPICA CLI

• git clone [email protected]:Wambosa/SPICA.git
• build using visual studio 2017
• run
  • .\SPICA.CLI.exe -bin=C:/pkmn/094 -pokemon=charmander

Step 4B. SPICA UI

• open spica
• select merge (folder with plus on it)
• choose the ~9 files corresponding to the pkmn you want (ctrl+click)
• here is a model index
• export textures to .../pokemon/tex
  • most (not all) textures need to be mirrored in order to work in unity*
• hit save (floppy disk) with selected animation(s) and model to store as .dae

this version of the codebase will save all the animations as a single animation on export

Step 5. UNITY3D

• import textures first into unity,
• then import .dae model
• check out the animation tab
