miss f mexzoo added upd miss f mexzoo added upd MDL Import / Export For Blender 2.8+
Hey folks. I'm just passing by to announce that I'm (unofficially) picking up the work from QuakeForge for the MDL Import/Export add-on for Blender.
I'm currently adapting the code to work with blender 2.8 or greater (I hope) from now and also start adding some new features.

On that note, I'll need testers or people willing to use it so I can maintain it with a pretty smile. :-)
For now, the importer seems to be working OK, the exporter is next and that's when I'll need most of the test work. But feel free to start importing models into the latest version of Blender!

Changes:
+Added support for Quake Hexen II palettes and palette picker
+Added shadeless material to the render view
+Added import re-scaling option
~Fixed Import API for Blender 2.8
~Minor fixes
-Removed export support for now

To download and test, install the add-on the zip at https://github.com/victorfeitosa/quake-hexen2-mdl-export-import/archive/adapting-to-blender-2-8.zip

For now, send PMs for bug reports and whatnot. I'll soon add guidelines to contributing and bug reporting.

Happy modelling!

Miss F Mexzoo Added Upd Direct

I should start the text by stating that Miss F Mexzoo has added an update. Then detail what the update includes. It's important to mention specific improvements or changes, even if hypothetical. Maybe add some benefits of the update and perhaps a note for users to check the latest version.

First, I should determine the context. Maybe Miss F Mexzoo is a team leader or contributor to a project. The update could be a new feature, a patch, or documentation changes. The text should reflect the impact of this update. miss f mexzoo added upd

I need to consider possible scenarios where someone named Miss F Mexzoo is adding an update. This could be in the context of a project, a website, a software application, or even a personal blog. Since the user didn't specify, I should make some educated guesses. I should start the text by stating that

Finally, wrap it up with an invitation for feedback or further questions. Keep the tone professional yet approachable. Let me structure this step by step to ensure all points are covered without missing any key elements the user expects. Maybe add some benefits of the update and

I need to make sure the language is clear and positive, highlighting the value of the update. Also, check for any possible typos in the original query, like "mexzoo" which might be "mexico" or another term. But since it's likely a name or handle, I'll keep it as is.

miss f mexzoo added updCool, Good Job! 
I'll probably maintain my fork still, but I'll probably get some queues from this, thanks!
Btw I'm not really doing anything for QuakeForge, just forking their initial code. I have my own roadmap for this, which might be more Hexen II focused.

Does this generate the bunch of QC code necessary to map frames? :D 
miss f mexzoo added updNot Really 
But thats a good idea. When exporting is done I might add that in eventually. 
miss f mexzoo added updExporter Released 
Alright, just in time for the Blender 2.82 export is done. Big thanks to @Khreator for giving a great insight into exporting issues.

List of features:
+ Export support
+ Support for importing/exporting multiple skins
+ Better scaling adjustments, eyeposition follows scale factor

This is still considered an alpha release. But it should be good enough.

miss f mexzoo added updWhat Is Ask Myself 
for a long time now: Would it be possible to save a blender physics simulation as frame animated .mdl/.md3? 
miss f mexzoo added upd#7 
Enable MDD export addon. Export your simulation to MDD. Remove the sim from the object. Import MDD back into your object. You now have all of your sim frames as separate shape keys, ready to export to .mdl 
miss f mexzoo added updActually 
Disregard that. It works fine without any of that extra voodoo, just export whatever straight to .mdl 
miss f mexzoo added updNiiiice 
Then let's think about practical use cases.
First think that comes to my mind are death animations, sagging bodies.
Explosion debrie might also work out.
I guess anything fluidic is out of question, like a tiling wave simulation anim.

What else comes to mind?

Flags, fire, chains, breaking doors, breaking walls, etc.
