ZZZ and tool development (Patreon)
Content
I currently find myself working on tools for modding, it has of course slowed down the mod production and basically put it on hold for the time being. Hopefully you guys understand how much more valuable is for me to make tools for more people to make mods than make a few myself instead. I consider it an investment!
Anyhow that is most of the post I will now proceed on the nerd stuff you can stop reading if you don't care about the technical side.
The tools for modding in blender require several updates QoL fixes and centralization. Blender 4.2 LTS is releasing on the 16th and has script breaking changes that I want to address before said date to avoid issues for mod makers.
For which I need to:
- Update default 3dm script to 4.2
- Update scripts to 4.2 (GIMI, HIMI, SRMI and WWMI)
- Write ZZMI to mod ZZZ and post the related repositories for people to start developing mods
- Merge all these tools into a single XXMI tool
- Add shapekey support for faces in ZZZ
- likely bridge functionalities from WWMI into the others
So far point one is done.
The rest will take its time, likely a week each average.
