PDE Model Tools

PDE Model Tools is a Blender add-on for importing models used by PDE based games. It provides operators to load .mesh, .anim and .skel files directly into Blender and exposes them in a panel in the 3D Viewport sidebar.

Installation

  1. Build or download the add-on as a .zip archive.
    • You can run Build.bat on Windows to create a zip using Blender's extension build command.
  2. In Blender, open Edit > Preferences... and switch to the Add-ons tab.
  3. Click Install..., choose the zip file and enable the PDE Model Tools add-on.

Basic Usage

After enabling the add-on a new PMT panel appears in the 3D Viewport → Sidebar. Use the buttons inside this panel to import:

  • mesh_prop files for props
  • mesh_map files for map geometry
  • mesh_wcm files for weapons/characters
  • .anim animation files
  • .skel skeleton files

Select a file when prompted and it will be loaded into the current scene.
