The goal of this addon is to provide import and export operations with good performance and minimal configuration. Quality of life features requiring more complex UI are better handled using traditional pure Python addons.
Clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/ScanMountGoat/xenoblade_blender --recursive.
xenoblade_blender uses xc3_model_py for simplifying the addon code and achieving better performance than pure Python addons.
xc3_model_py must be compiled from source after installing Rust. See development for details.
