Blenxy


- Presenting Blenxy! a Blender 2.79b application template that aims to be like a comfort zone for SMG modeling (Blen for Blender and xy from Galaxy). It isn't much but honest work >:]



Features


1) Custom DAE Exporter for BMD/BDL conversion with SuperBMD.

2) Custom DAE Importer for DAEs that come from SuperBMD.

3) CSV Exporter for the BCK animation type to use with the J3D Animation Editor program (linear interpolation is the only one supported).

3) CSV Importer for the BCK animation type from files that come from the J3D Animation Editor program (linear interpolation is the only one supported).

4) Reference axis SMG axis shows on all 3d models to guide the visualization of a mesh in the Super Mario Galaxy reference system.

5) Custom mesurement unit Galaxy Unit (or GU) that is used to facilitate DAE import/export without the need to re-scale manually all the time (1 GU is 100 meters).

6) Epic Mario model as the default cube in Blender when starting the template (truly the most important part of the template >:]).
