I thought this would be fast and easy... oh boy - was I wrong 😅

Over the years, many of our users have been requesting updates and new features for our 3D previewer that comes packed with Mods Studio. The list of requests and ideas kept getting longer and longer - and it finally came to the point where I decided to dedicate development time for it.

The original 3D Previewer was made by Cadde, and it took a while for me to go over all the old code and completely understand it... only after that I could really start modifying it. Now, that I have gotten a good understanding of how the original previewer works - I can say that Cadde's work was truly amazing with amazing attention to detail. I have ways to go to bring that level of detail into the new Previewer Pro.

The list of required modifications was extensive, but the most common wish from our users was the ability to load a complete truck, so that aligning skin parts would be easier. But why stop there, I thought...? Why not align complete trucks AND trailers? 😎

I'm happy to say that we have managed to pull that one off, and a bunch of other very cool features!

🎉 Some cool features 🎉

Loading of complete vehicle with one click:

Drag and drop models in the tree view to align them with other parts:

Generation of UV layers directly in the app:

Connecting Truck and Trailer hooks to align the vehicles in the scene:

Layers editing in the Image view (move, resize, rotate, visibility, order...)

... and much more!

🔨 It's not done yet! 🔨

As you can see from the version number (v.0.8) - the application is not yet finished. And there will be bugs. In the last survey you indicated that you would like access to beta versions, so I decided to release this now. 🚀 Also, I would love your feedback. What do you like, what you don't like... what doesn't work, and what features would you like to see?

This is a standalone app, so you should install it separately from Mods Studio 2. The installer will offer to install in a subfolder of the default MS2 install location - that's perfectly fine.

📺 Over the next few days I'll post some videos showcasing the previewer so keep an eye out for those!

Need a bit of help please. I have everything extracted. When I click on Load Model, I see all of the trucks and trailers. I can add a truck to the 3D Previewer Pro, but when I try to add a Trailer, it doesnt do anything. Thanks

Just started skinning for my VTC did some good ones. Feel like with this we can have some kick butt skins for our VTC. Lining them up is the worst part. Right now I do the template in paint.net then have to go and load it into modstudio2 save it then open it look at it and then try to find out on the template what goes where. This would be a simple click and skin. Looking to contribute and hoping for a lot of updates. Keep up the good work.
