Chrono Cross Model Importer for Blender

[Luminaire85]

The Chrono Cross Model Importer is a Blender import plugin that allows users to import Chrono Cross models for viewing and manipulation in Blender, a free, open source, cross-platform 3D modeling application. The plugin is a Python script.

The most recent version of the script is v0.4.0, released 29 Jan 2009. With this version the rest state of all model files (battle and overworld) are viewable with textures. Due to Blender's difficulties with transparency, some of the models will appear somewhat different.

See the attachments at the end of this post to download. The script is provided in the ZIP compressed format. Instructions for installation and use can be found within the script file. Feedback and questions are encouraged.

This post will be updated as future versions of the script are released.

All right. When the time comes, I'll download Blender and see what the best way to add shots of the models to encyclopedia is. This is just great.
