VuCity validator

A validation tool checks if Max scenes (city tiles) are set up correctly.

  • Success shows as green, fail as red, for a quick visual impression of the scene.
  • each check tracks its own status, and can be right-clicked to run actions on it:
    • option to select the meshes or materials that failed show failed nodes
    • check reruns the check, useful for when artists attempt to fix issues
    • fix attempts to fix the issue if the fix is 100% sure, else error and warn user
  • this tool can be batch run on 100s of Max scenes in the VuCity batcher

  • UI and functionality are kinda separated in code, but not fully. Since this was written before I learned about MVP MVC MVVM compared
  • It’s tightly intertwined with Max, so not a dcc independent tool.

Existing tiles have different workflows from new tiles, so different fix buttons
