WebGL Vehicle viewer

[The Hero 7,425]

This weekend I decided to play a bit with webgl and javascript and write a little viewer for GTA models.

It should be able to load most dff files (native geometry NOT supported), textures are loaded like <img> elements by the browser.

To make it a bit more interesting I implemented a little parser for IDE files and carcols.dat and made this vehicle viewer for III, VC and SA:

As for the code, it naturally only implements a small subset of RenderWare and perhaps it should be made a bit cleaner.

It was mostly meant to be a proof of concept, but feel free to use and adapt it for you purposes.

 

Hope you like it.

BUGS:

- due to name clashes some textures are not what they should be. (black64 &c.)

- HTML and CSS are hard, so that part sucks a bit

Looks a bit like GGM. On the pics it looks like the tool can only handle vehicles, but what about other models?

[The Hero 7,425]

It can render other models, I just didn't write an interface for it. I wanted to write something that could work with a a number of models and vehicles seemed like a good idea.

Nice work aap. Have you ever think about implement alphabetical order in the vehicle lists? Otherwise, is a great tool.

You're right, i should do that. I'll also be happy to accept a patch though

Very cool, is there a way we can make the wheels visible as well?

[The Hero 7,425]
