For Blender 4.2 and up

Plugin requires Import OpenCTM (.ctm) plugin. Note that CIG still owns the copyright for these models, you probably don't want to be using them commercially. I do in no way endorse using this outside strictly personal and educational use. Any legal issues is on you as the user.

Search Items in an easy-to-use UI

UV Import Note: UV mapping might look weird, this is the raw UV data RSI uses for their ctm ship models...

Submesh separation

Usage

• Downalod
  • Release tags here on GitHub
• Install like any other blender plugin
• Search for ship and click import
• To import Submeshes in a model go to Preferences > Addon > Separate Submeshes (Slower Import!)
• To toggle autoscaling of an imported model go to Preferences > Addon > Auto Scale

Dev notes

Blender 4.2.0 uses python 3.11 specifically, so use that to install bpy and create a virtualenv for if you want to have IDE autocompletions and such:

python3.11 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install bpy blender-stubs

Build the addon .zip file:

blender --command extension build

Install:

• blender -> edit -> preferences -> add-ons -> install from disk -> select the .zip file
