This is a quick and dirty importer for Blender 2.8+ intended to be used for painting liveries using the existing model files in 3d texture painting tools like blender itself.
This means at the current stage the importer is able to import most meshes with a UV map and nothing more!
It's by no means able to fully reconstruct the original model files and not intended to be used like this.
Note that you probably want to move some objects to be able to use these files for 3D texture painting.
Many of these can potentially be solved with future updates.
- Some meshes cannot be imported (see TODO items in the source code).
- No import of textures or material properties.
- Some object rotations seem to be wrong probably because they are animated with bones which is not supported by this importer for now.
