Many thanks

Sometime ago I managed to make it work. Google each *.dll file name (I mean the dlls that come with the 4D Editor itself), download the newest versions you can get and it will work.

I have bee using Java 4D editor in windows 7 as well as XP for two years without any problem, simply use the last updates.
The only problems I encountered were with Vista..
See you soon for new vehicles I adapted from 1C ( panzerbefehlswagen III E , Panzer III J short barrel gun, Panzer IV F1 Afrika and Panzer IV C 1940)

I just made 4d files ( converted with 3DS Max from 1C) for new vehicles such as PzIVC , PzIII E , Pz IV F1 and F2 Afrika, but I have a problem in animation: the wheels do not rotate correctly.
A part of the problem is in the unit file: I tried type 1, type 2, type 0 for wheels but nothing works correctly. May be in 3DS max when converting the mesh to 3ds file?
Please help so that we can have new authentic tanks!
See you soon!

i like this tool, it is very good and useful, but i had 2 problems:
1. I don't know to make it at game's scale.
2. If someone can do this... exporting meshes, not only importing

I managed to make it work in Windows 7 32 bits (fortunately I have an old netbook running this version), but wasn't able to get it working in the 64 bits version, even with the hints from the comrades. Has anyone achieved this?

I tried run the java 4d converter in my win 10 64 bits but seems doesn't work well, the program don't open or don't wont start
In my old PC with vista OS 32 bits works fine and open a bit slow, but open the program


Im looking for people to make the Pacific Campaign mod for Panzers II and more

Hi friends, I'm the author of the 4D editor. I released the original source code on github. Feel free to fork it and improve it (it's a very very old project, I was still learning Java at that time!!). I updated the dependencies and tested it in Windows 7 x64 and it works fine.
Here's the link: https://github.com/pcan/java-4d

Hi pcan, greetings

Congrats on the editor, it's a VERY usefull tool for modders. I'd like to know if it is possible to use the editor for "WALKERS" (I mean, infantry and human-like dynamic characters)? Best regards!

Hi, the original java-4d editor does not support human models because they are quite different from standard ones (the 4D structure changes a bit). In a few words, a human model uses the mesh skinning technique, that needs a skeleton model (a hierarchical set of "bones") and an overlying skin mesh that "moves and stretches" according to the skeleton movements (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_animation for a brief intro). The drawing of a skinned mesh cannot be done with the usual vertex instructions, but it needs shader programming.
Since java-4d uses plain OpenGL through JoGL bindings, the shader programming is not so straightforward, so I started another project just after the first release java-4d that uses a higher level API (Java3D libraries) that abstracts all the openGL details (matrix push/pop, vertex programming...) and uses a Scene Graph model. This program was just a prototype since it does nothing useful but it loads a 4D human mesh and moves an arm of the loaded model. In the next days I'll upload the code on Github so if someone wants to go on with development, the next steps are the loading of external mesh-skinned model (I don't know if 3ds supports them) and the export in 4d format.

Hi pcan, thank you for the detailed explanation. O.K., for the moment we can't use the editor for "WALKERS" yet. But how about weapons and stuff (helmets, backpacks, ...) that they use? I've already seen some forum comrades customize weapons for "WALKERS". Best regards.

Hi wargamer, I don't know if someone else has managed to edit a human mesh model, but I remember it was not a simple thing. I released the prototype of the skinned mesh model editor here: https://github.com/pcan/panzers-4d-editor-test. If you launch the main class, you can see that the human model has the weapon attached to it.  Here's a screenshot:

Hi pcan, greetings
Could you post the picture here? I wasn't able to visualize it using the path you informed. Best regards.

lordbrun, nice to meet you, greetings
Sorry for the late reply, but I had little free time during the last two weeks.
You being able to insert new meshes into walkers is a great advance. Panzernet and I are trying to modify some walkers into more realistic models and it would be very important to know this tip ... . How do you do it? Do you use the old 4d editor? or the new one released by pcan? Giving realistic texture colors to new meshes can be done through 3ds max. If the new mesh has no previous textures related to it go to modifiers and use uvw unwrap; again under modifiers select uvw map (or mapping) and use a "box" type of uvw mapping (it works in most cases). Finally, go to "materials" manager and add a texture to the new mesh. This metodology has worked fine for many models that I took from the net. If you want, send me a PM with the mesh files and I will give it a try. Best regards.
