Most likely not.

gfbmdl_plugin's Issues

error exporting model to gfbmdl

when I try to export this error appears

Rotate model before export/after import

Switch uses Y as up, blender uses Z

[Export] Fix polygon data

Seems theres an issue with the order of polygon data and vertex buffer. They dont match up so mesh becomes a spikey ball.

Importing Pokemon SWSH models throws several errors

When trying to import .gfbmdl models from SWSH, blender 2.82 on Windows 10 throws these errors and does not import the mesh (it does, however, import the armature just fine)

Can't export

I'm trying to export a model and I'm getting the error below. What can I do to fix this?

exporting error

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "\Text", line 74, in execute
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

location: :-1

when I try exporting a model, blender give me this error

[Import] Attach mesh to armature properly

This should just be a matter of creating vertex groups with the same names as their bones.

Exporting error

what is the problem and how do I fix it?

Calculate binormals slow

This needs to be optimized and maybe even re-implemented. Currently it uses Blender's API to calculate them but it contributes to most of the compile time of the model.

It's not letting me import with the standard menu, how do i import?
