SWBF2 Browser Reconstruction: rebuilding Battlefront II maps in a browser
SWBF2 Browser Reconstruction rebuilds parts of Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) in a three.js browser runtime using data extracted from the user's installed game. The pipeline converts Frostbite meshes, textures, lighting, animations, audio and gameplay values; its reference scene is Death Star II with Blast and Free for All modes.
