MDL Exporter for Blender3D!

[Jaccouille]

For the record, the 3.4 version from tw1lac fork cannot export animations from the actions editor in Blender 5.0 due to some API changes :

In Blender 5.0 the legacy Action.fcurves API was removed. FCurves now
live inside channelbags accessed via anim_data.action_slot.

See more: Change Log - Blender Python API

I vibe coded a small change here: GitHub - Jaccouille/mdl-exporter: Warcraft MDL exporter for Blender
Works for me (classic models).

I updated the plugin here : GitHub - Jaccouille/mdl-exporter: Warcraft MDL exporter for Blender
The importer wasn't up to date for Blender 5.0
Can you reinstall and try to import your model?
You should be able to open it and view the different animations in the action editor.

Thanks, it did work!
May you please also say is it possible to easily add the texture and change it online?

I do not understand what you're trying to say :/

Sorry. I mean, is it possible, in Blender 5.0 with this exporter, to also import a texture for the imported model? And to change the texture somehow in Blender or other program, and see the changes of it directly on this model in Blender?

What's going on with this plugin ? When I export to MDL it exports fine but Reteras Model Editor can't open the file, it gives errors...trying to export to reforged graphics.
