After a marathon (Velvet Underground fueled) all night debugging session cpgen.exe is here as promised (released to no fanfare as usual)
PS: If you want to replicate a MDL file so it matches up with it's prf file cpgen has a log feature but you'll probably only see it if you run it from the command prompt. It will tell you what controlpoints are in the file, their colour, and where they are at in the model coordinates. All you really gotta do is match up the colour/number and I think cpgen is programmed correctly to manage the rest. The coordinates are so you can visually match up the control points. The only way to see the control points is with the Assimp viewer app. They are generally but not always invisible in the Som tools.
I regret Assimp does not have a single exporter to its name (yet) but you should (at long last) have all you need now to make original animated assets (in plain English)
UPDATE: The latest cpgen build is now and for ever attached to the top post.
