Is everyone aware that there are two versions of the Convex Tool?
The one that does the conversion without opening a dialogue to set the “Skin Width” and “Max vertices” is faulty!
So here is a copy of the good one, it is already modified to add “_lod1” to the end of each convex shape name.
Just select all the groups in MilkShape’s Groups tab that you want to make convex shapes for and start the tool.
When the dialogue window opens, leave the “Skin Width” setting to 0. This setting leaves a gap between the new convex shape skin and the original surface, in MilkShape units, 1= approx 1 FL metre. Unfortunately it doesn’t work with values between 0 & 1, I was hoping that it would so that I can set a small “puff-up” value.
Note that the “_lod1” suffix is only needed when exporting sur parts one at a time for use with sur_splicer.
The tool puts the convex shapes for each group at the bottom of the groups list. Once you are happy with all the new convex shapes, delete the original groups at the top of the list, without the “_lod1” suffix.
You must delete the “_lod1” suffix from each part/group name if you are going to export all groups at once, or if you are exporting in .obj format to use Schmackbolzen’s obj-sur converter.
If you are going to export the groups one at a time and use sur splicer to make your sur manually, then you need to leave the “_lod1” suffix on each part name.
