patreon ryona patreon ryona 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!

One day, while exploring ways to share her art with a wider audience, Akira stumbled upon Patreon. She was intrigued by the platform's potential to connect her directly with fans who appreciated her work and were willing to support her financially on a monthly basis. With a mix of excitement and skepticism, Akira decided to give it a try.

In a small, quaint town nestled between rolling hills and verdant forests, there lived a young artist named Akira. Akira was known throughout the town for her vivid imagination and exceptional skill in weaving tales and creating art that seemed to leap off the pages of her sketchbooks. However, making a living from her passion proved to be a challenge. The support she received from selling her work locally was barely enough to cover her living expenses, let alone allow her to focus on her craft full-time. patreon ryona

The story of Akira and her patrons serves as a testament to the power of community support and the positive impact it can have on artists. Through platforms like Patreon, creators can find not only financial backing but also meaningful connections that inspire and nurture their artistic endeavors. One day, while exploring ways to share her

She set up her Patreon page, showcasing her art and outlining the rewards for her patrons. Akira was clear about her goals: she wanted to be able to dedicate more time to her craft, experiment with new techniques, and perhaps one day publish her own graphic novels. In a small, quaint town nestled between rolling

These video calls turned into mentorship sessions for Sophia, who was an aspiring artist herself. Akira shared her knowledge on storytelling, character development, and the business side of the art world. This symbiotic relationship flourished, with Akira gaining not only financial support but also encouragement and a friend.

patreon ryonaCool, 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 
patreon ryonaNot Really 
But thats a good idea. When exporting is done I might add that in eventually. 
patreon ryonaExporter 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.

patreon ryonaWhat Is Ask Myself 
for a long time now: Would it be possible to save a blender physics simulation as frame animated .mdl/.md3? 
patreon ryona#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 
patreon ryonaActually 
Disregard that. It works fine without any of that extra voodoo, just export whatever straight to .mdl 
patreon ryonaNiiiice 
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.
