Mesh Reconstruction Utilities
Version 0.0.22a released on June 8, 2008!
The Mesh Reconstruction utilities contain a variety of standalone command-line applications used to create new props based on existing content.
Currently, it consists of the following applications:
- Mesh Reports : Outputs information about a given mesh file. This also performs analysis on the mesh data, resolving where each 3D object can be found. Use the information from this utility to figure out your commands for the Prop Extraction utility.
- Prop Extraction : Extracts props from a given mesh file. This is the most complex, but most powerful, of all these utilities. Make texture and material changes, isolate individual 3D objects, perform 3D transformations, and apply rectangular clipping regions. A "modder's tool" through and through.
- Prop Transformation : Performs basic transformations to an entire prop. Make global texture changes, alter light-maps, and center, scale, or rotate a prop.
- Set Dressing to Prop : Take a saved set dressing file and combine its contents into a single prop, for easy use on any of the various Blue Screen sets.
- Room Builder : Creates new room interiors, or building exteriors, based on script files.
- Draw your room on paper (preferably graph paper), using meters as the scale.
- Specify the co-ordinates of each corner of your room, in clockwise order.
- Embed doors and windows into the walls with "cutout props". The term "cutout" is used because it "cuts out" a section of the wall to make room for the door or window.
- Customize the textures, including the ability to customize how often the textures repeat.
- Add set dressing to your room!
- Create new "cutout props" and place them into custom cutout libraries.
- Create "room libraries", and stitch them together like lego pieces!

TRL Reporting Utilities
The TRL Reporting utilities contain two standalone command-line applications used to analyze TRL files.
TRL files contain all the information needed to export and upload a film.
- Thumbnail Extractor : Give it the filename of your TRL file, it creates a JPG file of your movie's thumbnail.
- Scene Reporter : Give it the filename of your TRL file, it creates a text report of all the scenes in your movie. Compare the scene report with your movie in Movie Player to find the location of Devil's Bookmarks and other "phantom scenes" that cause the Sound Sync bug.
