You are probably experiencing stuttering due to the rendering scene complexity. Trees are a bad culprit since each one is rendered separately. Each tree takes a few function calls (too lazy to give you an exact number) to render. It's not a problem if you are rendering a few, but it adds up quickly when you have to render 50.

Apple is deprecating OpenGL and Metal is the graphics API going forward. Vulkan is the new cross-platform graphics API, but Apple does not want to support it. MoltenVK is a translation layer between Vulkan and Metal. In theory, one can develop a 3D renderer that uses a single graphics API that can work across all the major desktop and mobile operating systems.

It's been a while since I messed with modding models on CMBS. Can you explain the issue you are having with model swapping?

If you want, I take a look at your blend file.

Did you get your texture problem resolved?

Have not looked into them, but I suspect that they are just quads created at run time.

The mdr tools only support static objects. Show us your texture files, maybe we can debug them.

It's possible you are not saving the alpha channel properly when you edit the texture. In the game model, the command sight has a lens with a transparent texture.

I will make this special version publicly available for a limited time here https://bobovych.com/nextcloud/index.php/s/DWPbWtJplWF3C1Q If you have a previous version of the plugins, uninstall them and install this version. Import a vehicle into Blender. For example, I have been using UAZ-469 as a test case. Try deleting the canvas and exporting the model. View the vehicle in the game, have it move around to check that wheels still work. How wheels and tracks work is the last major piece of the puzzle that needs to be solved. Next, try adding a mesh, camo net or big radio, to the vehicle.

The tools are at a point where you can import a vehicle and modify some parts. I have not fully figured out how wheels and tracks work, but the rest can be played with.

Anyone interested in testing a special version of the mdr plugins that supports vehicles?

It is not clear to me if you truly need to capture the screen at runtime to do your analysis or if you could just use fraps or any other similar software to capture video and do your analysis offline.

I added the windows executable version of btt_mutator to the github repo. You can download it here: https://github.com/sbobovyc/CM2Tools/raw/master/dist/btt_mutator.exe
