3d model editor (and other stuff)

[DamageX]

rolled-my-own UI
menu driven with mouse and keyboard control
software rendering
can use SCREEN 13...21 and 8/15/16/32bpp
can load/save STL files or native format
(Loading large STL files is slow, due to brute-force search for redundant vertex data. I made a separate program STL2MB which converts quickly, however it needs a huge amount of RAM)

@ DamageX : nice. thanks for the source.

Interesting. Looks like it works good. Have you thought about adding support for other formats?

[DamageX]

Other formats that I'm aware of (OBJ, AMF, PLY) use XML or some other text-based arrangement. I don't like them very much. STL files are dead simple by comparison, and that is what Repetier (3D printer software) accepts.

Do you have a 3d printer? That's awesome if you do. I'd like to have one... or at least access to print some stuff. I have some lightwave models that would look pretty cool as real statues.

I have a fairly basic printer, just to see what I can do with it. If you want to print something fancy you could always try a service like Shapeways.

Here is an update to MBFAST. Changes include automatic memory management instead of manual, 4bpp screen support, probably some other things. I worked on the "drill" function which is now partially functional.

I'm also including IMGTOOL, a bitmap editor. Has basic stuff like crop, resize, copy/paste, color reduction/adjustment.

There are brief instructions for both.

I was working on a text editor/hex editor/web browser as well. Since my plan of using WGET as a backend to load all remote files turned out to be riddled with problems, I'm not going to release it for now. But I've included a plain text-mode editor derived from it: JAE
