## IO PDX MESH

This project aims to allow editing of mesh and animation files used in the various [Clausewitz Engine games](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_Development_Studio#List_of_games_developed) created by [Paradox Development Studios](https://www.paradoxplaza.com).

It's designed to run in *both* Maya (2018+) and Blender (3.64+).

### Installation

#### Setup for Maya (2018+)

* Go to your Maya user scripts path. (eg on Windows: `C:\Users\...\Documents\maya\scripts`)  

* Extract the contents of the zip file directly into this path.  

* Start Maya and change the `Command Line` to Python by clicking the label.  

* Then use the command `import io_pdx_mesh;reload(io_pdx_mesh)` to launch the tool.  

* You can highlight this command and use the middle-mouse button to drag it into a shelf button to save it.  

* The tool window will now open.

#### Setup for Blender (3.64+)

* Start Blender and open the `User Preferences` panel (`Edit > Preferences...`).  

* Version 4.2.0+

  * Switch to the `Get Extensions` category and select `Install from Disk...` from the dropdown corner menu. Pick the zip file you have downloaded.  

* Version 3.64+

  * Switch to the `Add-ons` category and select `Install...`. Pick the zip file you have downloaded.  

* Tick the checkbox to enable the add-on and you should see a new tab in the `Sidebar` of the `3D Viewport`. (`View > Sidebar` if you have it closed)  

* The `Sidebar` will now have a `PDX Blender Tools` tab.
