Santos 2 Model Viewer Not Displaying Models
Posted: Thu 24 Jan, 2019 7:21 am
Hello. Apologies that this isn't truly a modding question but my issues seem to lie in the realm of modding.
I want to be able to view DoW 2 models (Retribution and Elite) so that I can ultimately capture different angles and positions and make some PNGs for a tabletop RPG I'm working on.
I have downloaded the latest version of Santos 2. 0.5.0 DEV. I also placed it in the tools folder in Retribution. I extracted the art files, config, and shaders and placed them in the data folder since that seems to be the only place Santos looks for modules. /steam/steamapps/common/Dawn of War 2-Retribution/GameAssets/Data
When I use Santos2 and select a model (ex: GameAssets/Data/MyMod - Race_Marine/troops/space_marine) and load it, nothing shows up. It seems to recognize all the animations and actions it can carry out but there is no model. The closest I've gotten is turning on the skeleton in which case I see a handful of different colored wires making up a minimal frame.
Am I placing folders/files incorrectly? What must I do to properly view these models? From what I understood this was a standalone application if all I wanted to do was view. Do I still need a modeling software?
Thanks.
