This utility loads a GMF file, collapses it into an optimized mesh with the fewest number of surfaces possible, and precalculates Newton raycast data. Version 2.32 will be able to load Newton raycast data straight from a GMF file. This will eliminate the pause that occurs the first time a raycast is performed on a mesh.

 

To process a GMF file, drag it into the executable. To process a directory of files, place the executable in the folder and run it with no command line parameters.

 

You don't have to worry about missing material files, because the program just processes the raw data, and no construction of the actual 3D objects is performed.

if I had a top hat, I'd tip it to you sir

Excellent - does fix some of my more messy models right away.

Do we need to process all models that we create with this tool? If so Ill add option for my exporter

[Josh]

You don't have to, but you can. In the future, this will be a silent part of the importation process in the editor. I'll add some more options and control, and you can integrate it into your exporter, if you like.

Does this work for both animated and static meshes?

[Josh]

Not sure what you mean by "work". It will collapse animated meshes, and then they won't be animated anymore.

sorry I meant for the precalculation Newton raycast data.

[Josh]

Not at the moment, but I will add more control with command line switches.
