Point Cache 2 exporter

Coding Python Support
16

Using the tools provided in that site, I mean, the XSI addon, I’ve started by (from Pepe example above):

  1. Exporting .MDD & .OBJ from Blender 2.43 (.45 works also)

  2. Importing .OBJ & its .MDD, into XSI 6 - Works great!

  3. In XSI 6, using the Point Cache Manager, I’ve exported/translated/converted (from .MDD) to .PC2 format

  4. Imported .OBJ & .PC2, into 3DS MAX 9 - Works great!

I’ll try to send a email regarding the .PC2 file specification, since you need it Broken, I dont know if he can help us, but i’ll do my best :slight_smile:

Thanks!

I’ve found this info by John Burnett (http://www.footools.com/plugins/docs/PointCache2_README.html or
http://www.maxplugins.de/r6_files/burnett/PointCache2_R6.zip):

.PC2 File Format:

You can create or modify PointCache2 files by hand using the following file format. The start of the file is a header containing: char cacheSignature[12]; // Will be ‘POINTCACHE2’ followed by a trailing null character.
int fileVersion; // Currently 1
int numPoints; // Number of points per sample
float startFrame; // Corresponds to the UI value of the same name.
float sampleRate; // Corresponds to the UI value of the same name.
int numSamples; // Defines how many samples are stored in the file.
