Model viewer is now released! Check here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouCzt-2GqHo

Here's a project I've been working on for the past weeks: A model viewer for Battalion Wars 2. Possible next steps are making a converter into a conventional model format (.obj or maybe .dae) and making a converter that can create custom models for BW2. Support for BW1 might also come at a later time (BW1's model and texture formats are slighly different compared to BW2).

Currently there's no official release for this viewer, but if there's enough interest then I might make a first release (do keep in mind that at the moment this is just a viewer).

This has been a pretty fun project and I learned a lot about OpenGL while working on this. The viewer simulates a rotating light and for models that have a bump texture the texture is taken into consideration when doing light calculations. Converting the model into something that I can render using OpenGL is done in the moment when you select a model. Textures are converted once and cached.
