      You Better purchase this addon!

      I love the author of this addon. All my pain rescaling entire hierarchy after finishing the modeling and texturing efforts is a LONG GONE MEMORY, thanks to this plugin! 12/10, would buy again!

      Doesn't work with Noesis/FBX 7.70 which i primarily got it for. Disappointed, even blender's FBX can at least import the mesh.

      It works as I expected.

      Mostly it is a great addon, but i can't correctly IMPORT a model with 2 UV chanels.
      Addon delete first chanel and make new one with all UVs in one point (0.0)

        This is a bug of Blender 3.5, I had reported the bug to Blender developers.

      This is a great tool for anyone who cannot import old formats of fbx. it works wonders even in blender 3.4.1. Thank you!

      So far, testing shows promising results. However, there is a performance issue when exporting high-poly meshes with over 1 million vertices. It takes over 1.5 minutes to export these meshes with version 5.2.11. I'm assuming there is some action that is increasing CPU usage exponentially with every additional vertex, because I have no trouble at all with low poly meshes. If this problem could be resolved, I would definitely make this my primary exporter. I know 2 minutes doesn't seem like a lot, but it can certainly become an issue when we are required to make subtle changes and re-export during the baking process.

      Anyway, I still think the add-on is a great achievement, and hope this can be fixed soon!

      Infinitely better than Blender's native importer/exporter. Perfect for exchanging 3D models to and from Unity.
      Thanks for your excellent work!

      Hi,

      Why does .OBJ has no textures/materials? it doesn't read the .MTL file or something?! normal blender .OBJ importer just loads the textures but is one huge mesh then, cant group/separate, this addon separates the meshes but again no textures..weird

        Please move the texture files to the same directory of the OBJ file and try again.

      The add-on is honestly really good. The export formats fix a lot of the issues that plague the standard .fbx-exporter and makes it easy to jump between Maya and Blender without many animation/rigging hiccups.

      Two pieces of criticism that I have after trying it for a day are these:

      1) It does not respect where your timeline starts or ends. I tried exporting an animation starting from frame 1 to frame 20, but because I had keys on frame 0 and 30 it exported the entire thing. This to me is a problem because I like to use offset keys to make loops for specific stuff, so the key will not align perfectly with the restricted timeline. I thought Vertex Animation would allow this with Frame Start and Frame End, but none of these did anything to help.

      2) There is a weird export bug where my first frame sometimes offsets the hand on my current arm rig that uses an IK FK switch setup. Everything is correct but the hand that keeps getting moved in the very first frame I have keyed. It might have to do with the way my rig is set up, but it is annoying nonetheless. If issue 1 was solved I could bypass it, but I guess I will need to do a clean-up in a different scene in Blender/Maya to remove the unnecessary frames.

      Please add a Frame Start and Frame End feature to the export options. I would be very satisfied with the product then.

        The timeline range has been implemented, thanks for your feature request.
