The first is PySMF an SMF Model Viewer for the old Terminal Reality 4x4 Evo 2 game models. The SMF format is proprietary, and through some reverse engineering, programming, and more I made this model viewer display the geometry and have the ability to export it to OBJ.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fzu8uxi0yprrpl6nmdpy9.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fzu8uxi0yprrpl6nmdpy9.png" alt="PySMF Screenshot" width="800" height="466"></a><br> <a href="https://github.com/JShum00/SMFViewer" rel="noopener noreferrer">PySMF GitHub Repo</a><br></p> <h2> PyPOD: </h2> <p>The second one is PyPOD which is based on github user "Dummiesman" project Poddy.

My program PyPOD is written in Python and pretty much does the same thing, just not as many features as Poddy, or at least no yet.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fxcb4yeyp421qvibh0n8k.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fxcb4yeyp421qvibh0n8k.png" alt="PyPOD Screenshot" width="650" height="482"></a><br> <a href="https://github.com/JShum00/PyPOD" rel="noopener noreferrer">PyPOD GitHub Repo</a><br></p> programming python gamedev discuss
