ctr_BannerModelConverterThe ctr_BannerModelConverter tool is used to create cbmd (Ctr Binary banner MoDel) files.Cbmd files are created based on the specified folder structure.
The resulting cbmd file can be used as a makebanner bsf.
The Creative Studio for CTR data converter is used internally.
Conversion must occur in an environment where NW4C that is supported by the HOME Menu is installed.
You need the following files to create a cbmd file:
% ctr_BannerModelConverter DIRECTORYNAME [Output]
The DIRECTORYNAME specification is required. All other options are optional.
| Options | Description |
|---|---|
| DIRECTORYNAME | Specifies the input directory name. Be sure to use the specified directory structure (described later). |
| Output | Specifies the file to output. If omitted, a file with the cbmd extension added to the originally input filename is output. |
A banner is model data displayed in the upper screen when an application is selected.
Banners are used to show a line-up of miniature target applications on the menu.
Banner model data can be divided into one of two main categories: Model data common to all languages, and data especially intended for each separate region and language combination.
Make sure to use a directory structure as given below. Specify the Banner folder at the top in DIRECTORYNAME on the command line.

The COMMON folder is a required item. The other folders can contain any content, but an empty folder must be prepared.
Filenames cannot be changed, and be sure to set the file in the COMMON folder to COMMON.cmdl, etc.

The following restrictions apply to banner model data.
Note: These restrictions are provisional. These specifications are subject to change in the future.
The camera is fixed. Adjustment by applications is impossible.
| Camera position x, y, z | Look-at point x, y, z | Angles of view (fovy) | near/far | Depth Level※ | Factor※ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0/1.0/44.786 4.786 | 0.0/1.0/0.0 | 30 | - | 38 | 1.0 |
Note: These are the depthLevel and factor values used by the ulcd::CalculateMatrices function.
Models rotate once in 600 frames (10 seconds at 60 fps) at constant velocity to the left when you are facing the screen. - Rotation accelerates if the user blows into the microphone.
Note: Use billboard settings for nodes you do not want to be rotated.
Note: Although these nodes do not normally turn if rotated to the right at constant speed for 600f, they will rotate if the user blows into the microphone.
There are restrictions on data by design and to prevent skipped frames.
Note: Data that violates these restrictions generates an error during conversion. (Not implemented)
Even if the data is within the restrictions, the data size must be reduced if skipped frames occur.
| Extension |

There are no other restrictions.
The following restrictions have been placed on data size after conversion.
Note: Data that violates these restrictions generates an error during conversion. (Not implemented)
