VFL — Vee Face Library

Research library for replicating Mii functionality from decompilations in a more modern language and runtime.

Targets

Ideally, this library will replicate functionality accurately from these targets:

• Cafe (WUP)
• Centrair (CTR) Why did they name it after an airport‽
• Nx

Not currently targeted:

• Revolution (RVL)
• Nitro (NTR)
• Any other target (Miitomo, Mii Studio, etc.)

Libraries

This project currently has the libraries:

• vfl (Parent library)
• vee_parse
• vee_resources
• vee_models
• vee_wgpu

Binaries

This project currently has three binaries:

• vfl-cli — Debug tool for quick interfacing with the library.
• lightweight_viewer — Basic test renderer, orbits a few test characters.
• bevy_viewer — Example of using this library in Bevy.

bevy_viewer is currently out of the workspace tree, so it has to be run separately.

Running

• Dump Nx shape and texture resources, place in ./resources_here
  • Currently, vee only supports NXTextureMidSRGB.dat and ShapeMid.dat
• lightweight_viewer
  • cargo run --bin lightweight_viewer
• vfl-cli
  • cargo run --bin vfl-cli
• bevy_viewer
  • cd crates/bevy_viewer && cargo run
  • Running bevy_viewer in the browser:
    • Install wasm-server-runner
    • cd crates/bevy_viewer && cargo run --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
