Inside of this QC file, you'll find the line that starts with i prefer wordpad over notepad, but both work. QC, this file can be opened using any low-level text editor. Once you've decompiled the model, your left with a folder (hopefully you put it in a folder before decompile) full of random files.
While this has nothing to do with models, it's useful to know when working with objects in the 2D and 3D windows.There are tools to Compile/Decompile a model (available free somewhere. There is also a knowledge article on How to Make and Use Custom Markers in STK. An analysis model that allows you to estimate distance in real time.Improve the look of your ground based scenario by adding a cloud dome model.Create gold, and other metallic materials, on a model without using a texture map.You will also see links that describe specialized analysis and video production models. MDL file you can:īelow are a series of MDL knowledge articles that provide a working understanding of the topics above. Our models are plain text files with an MDL extension which means they're easy to manipulate and edit to add features or improve/change the look of them. While we have software that will convert Lightwave models to MDL, no software has ever been written that converts MDL to any another format. Yet all of our models have a built in security feature that makes piracy virtually impossible. Aside from the copyright notice, they are unlicensed and shipped with no copy protection. While our models are protected by copyright, we have never sold any of our models. To this day, the only tools a user needs to work on MDL models is a text editor and our proprietary model viewer, MDE. We also wanted to give users the ability to create and modify their own 3D models without the additional burden of learning a whole new skill set. Shortly after STK was developed, AGI saw a need for users to visualize these objects as 3D models and not just a bunch of colored dots. We have folks who build models full time but I try not to use any of their time if it is something I can do myself.įor analysis purposes, STK models objects as point masses. Sometimes I need to make or modify a model used in STK. Mostly I create content that supports other end users. I don’t write code, I don’t build models and I’m not an engineer. This blog relates only to our native format, MDL. Collada, with a file extension of DAE, has been supported for about ten years. MDL is our native format and has been supported since the beginning. AGI currently supports two model formats, MDL and Collada.
