This entry needs explaining more clearly.

In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness#Endianness_and_hardware Little-endian], the low order byte is first, not fourth.

This entry needs explaining more clearly. In Little-endian, the low order byte is first, not fourth. The statements "add it" and "subtract it" do not explain what "it" is. Here and subsequently: "multiply by 1/xxx" - why not just "divide by xxx"? Pljones 23:07, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

OK, here's my explanation (this generates values that match Wes Howe's tool fairly well):

There are two methods, a general one and one for BlendWeight only, that are slightly different.
  • The order of the three floats is the reverse order of the first three bytes, with the fourth byte being a scaling factor.
  • Generate the scaling factor by subtracting the fourth byte from 255; if the result is zero, use 128 (or, for BlendWeight 256) instead.
  • Each float is generated by taking each byte, subtracting 128 (except if BlendWeight) and then dividing by the scaling factor.

1x(Swizzle32)
0x06 UV Short2

2 floats in two words.

  • Non-UV usage: Divide by 32767.
  • UV usage: See below.
1x(Swizzle16x2)
0x07 Position, UV Short4

3 floats in four words.

  • Non-UV usage: The fourth word is an unsigned scalar (or use 32767 if zero). Divide by this scalar.
  • UV usage: See below.
2x(Swizzle16x2)
0x08 UByte4N 1x(Swizzle32)
0x09 Short2N 1x(Swizzle16x2)
0x0A Short4N 2x(Swizzle16x2)
0x0B UShort2N 1x(Swizzle16x2)
0x0C UShort4N

3 floats in four words.

  • Non-UV usage: The fourth word is an unsigned scalar (or use 512 if zero). Divide by this scalar.
  • UV usage: See below.
2x(Swizzle16x2)
0x0D Dec3N 1x(Swizzle32)
0x0E UDec3N 1x(Swizzle32)
0x0F Float16_2 1x(Swizzle16x2)
0x10 Float16_4 2x(Swizzle16x2)

For UV usage, multiply by the MATD ShaderData entry for UVScales, element 0. If no such value exists, divide by 32767.
