ResourceEditor

ResourceEditor is a standalone application that consists of several modules including a tool for viewing and checking exported meshes and utilities for texture generation. These modules can be switched between using tabs at the top of the ResourceEditor window.

• MeshViewer
• NormalCombiner
• NormalMapper
• AmbientMapper

ResourceEditor basic and camera-related settings can be adjusted by clicking Settings button in the upper right corner of the window.

Multisample — the level of anti-aliasing from AA 0x (no anti-aliasing) to AA 8x (maximum anti-aliasing). Field of view — field of view of the camera. Low values (from the minimum angle of 1 degree) are for a narrow angle of view. High values (up to the maximum angle of 179 degrees) are for a wide angle of view (fish-eye view). Min velocity — the velocity of normal camera motion. It is measured in units per second. Max velocity — the velocity of accelerated camera motion (with pressed SHIFT). It is measured in units per second. Acceleration — the rate of changing from a normal to accelerated camera motion. It is measured in units per second squared. Damping — the rate of decreasing of the camera velocity till it stops completely. By the value of 0, the camera will move endlessly. Background — the background color. Wireframe — the color of the wireframe of the selected surface.
