Generating thumbs for your modelsFrom a commandline, you type:
cd [path-to-where-you-installed-the-script]
python g3d_thumb.py [path-to-g3d-model]
You can also give it the path to a folder, in which case it will generate thumbs for
all G3D files found in that folder or any sub-folders!
Generating webpages with thumbs of all your modelscd [path-to-where-you-installed-the-script]
python techtree.html.py [path-to-techtree-folder] {optional_suffix}
This will create an html file with the name of your techtree, with a table for each faction, with a list of their unit animations. It creates thumbnails for you.
(The suffix is an optional thing; if you are generating several sets of pages with similar names you can specify something to add to all the file names to ensure they don't clash. If you don't have this problem, then ignore this option.)
