Installation

a) Extract downloaded archive contents to the directory, where game is installed (e.g. C:\Games\UT3). In this case, to display contents of package CookedPC/.../CH_AnimHuman.upk you may use simple command line "umodel.exe CH_AnimHuman"

b) Extract downloaded archive to any directory. In this case you should specify path to the game files. Example: "umodel.exe -path=C:/Games/UT3 CH_AnimHuman"

Command Line

ATTENTION! This site has a few tutorial videos and FAQ. It would be useful (especially for beginners) to watch them before starting to use umodel. The links are available at the top of this page.

Command line format:

umodel [options] package-name [object-name]

Major options:

viewer options
-meshes	exclude non-mesh objects from browsing in viewer mode

exporter options
-export	start umodel in exporter mode
-out=path	set directory for exported files
-dds	export DXT textures in DDS format
-uncook	UE3: umodel would export files to the directories corresponding to their package names where objects were placed by designer before cooking
-groups	do not use object type (SkeletalMesh, Texture2D etc) for export directory name but use object's group name instead
-sounds	allow sound export
-3rdparty	allow ScaleForm and FaceFX export

common options
-path=path	set path to the game files; you should enclose path into double quotes when it has spaces inside
-noanim/-nomesh/-nostat/-notex	disable loading of animation/SkeletalMesh/StaticMesh/textures (could be necessary because of umodel incompatibility with particular game)
-game=game	tells to umodel that opening file belongs to the particular game; it could be required when umodel is not able to detect game by itself; to get list of available game tags launch umodel with -taglist option
-pkg=package	load additional package (you may specify any number of -pkg=... options)
-ios/-ps3	tells to umodel that you are opening file which was cooked for iOS or PS3 platform (all other platforms are detected automatically)

For full option list launch umodel without arguments.

All options are order-independent. Package name is a full or short name of package. Using short name usually requires -path=... option. Check examples below for explaination.

Command line examples:

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004 HumanMaleA
display all packaged objects from HumanMaleA

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004 -meshes HumanMaleA
display all meshes from HumanMaleA

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004 HumanMaleA MercMaleD
display mesh MercMaleD from package HumanMaleA

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004 -export HumanMaleA MercMaleD
export SkeletalMesh MercMaleD from HumanMaleA package

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004 -export -all HumanMaleA MercMaleD
export SkeletalMesh MercMaleD and all used resources (animation, textures etc)

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004 -export HumanMaleA BipedMaleA
export animations (MeshAnimation) BipedMaleA from HumanMaleA package

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004 -export HumanMaleA
export all supported objects from HumanMaleA package

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004 -list HumanMaleA
list contents of HumanMaleA package (object and class names)

umodel -list c:/games/unreal/music/QueenSong.umx
list contents of QueenSong.umx package from Unreal1. Here is package name specified with full file path.

User Interface

Program controlled mostly with keyboard. To get key assignment help, press <H> (help) key. Main keys:

ESC	exit from program
H	get key help information
PgUp, PgDown	switching between loaded objects
[, ]	switch between mesh animations
<, >	rewind animation time backward/forward
Space, X	start animation playback (single and looped)
Ctrl+A	switch between different animation sets (required for viewing UE3 animations)
Ctrl+T	tag/untag mesh for multipart mesh rendering
F	focus camera on mesh
Ctrl+X	export current displaying object
Ctrl+S/Alt+S	take a screenshot; when Alt+S is used backgound will be made transparent
Ctrl+Q	toggle displaying of texts and coordinate system axis

You can rotate camera holding left mouse button, zoom with right mouse button, or pan camera (move alongside screen plane) with middle mouse button.

There is a nice demonstration of viewer capabilities and program control in tutorial videos.
