Little tool to list textures from .DAE - Daemian - 08-06-2014

As you see it makes a little list of all the textures that a .dae wants to work properly.
You can use it to know which files you need to include along with the model. E.g when you're importing assets from AMFP.
You can double-click a material from the list to copy the name to your clipboard so you can do a search ctrl+f in windows or whatever.

How does it list the .mat files? They aren't directly associated with each other. Did you just replace the extension with .mat?

Could you maybe add an input box so it'd be easy to also change the texture within it? I find that I edit the texture names a lot, especially when duplicating models or exporting several copies.

Hey Mud. Yes, that's what it does. It filters the string to return what Amnesia wants, texture name+.mat. From there, you can locate that .mat and its textures and do whatever you were doing with that model.
If you were importing a chair from AMFP, you can check inside the .dae which materials you need.

An input box -and other stuff- would be great, but I don't know if I saved the vb project, I gotta check. I thought you had mac, did it work there? Or you had to do something?

I frequently jump between Windows and Mac via Boot Camp. This last month I've mostly been using Windows when making the Java app.

Since this is an .exe file, it won't run on a Mac, no. What did you make this in? Visual Basic?

I see. Yes, vb6.
Spoiler below!

I really don't know anything about Visual Basic. Looks strange to me xD

Well, VB is a Microsoft language, so that's that.
