Mr.wonko's blender plugin guide

So I was wondering if people would be in favor of me writing up a guide on the use of Mr.wonko's blender I/O plugin. Nothing huge and fancy, just a simple frankensteining tutorial. Weight painting and things like that's a little harder to explain, but luckily it isn't necessary in most cases if you just wanna make use of it to glue two models together quickly (Gotta make sure you credit the people behind the original content of course).

I personally would love a tutorial on this. Coming from the mapping and skinning side of things, even the simplest modelling stuff is mysterious and scary to me! Would love to see explained specifically for JKA.

Sounds fun. Knowledge is power count me in. Thanks for offering to write the guide my friend was recently telling me about that program and I wondered if it could do stuff that worked with pk3 this confirms it. Thanks again.

I am familiar with modeling and weighting myself I've done a few models in the past, and I'm working on a new one now, and tbh it has always been easier than mapping and lightsaber modeling, once you succeed the first time it's so much easier.
People always considered it a real pain even though it's so easy, I had a few friends who tried to learn modeling and gave up an hour later.
I was lucky enough to have someone teach me and walk me through every step.
Anyway thanks Jen-Da you're doing the world a great favour. :wink:

I'm very open to learn how to model and such things, I would be glad to have a go. And let's be honest, there will be less requests for one person that way. :D

I'll write up a PDF with pictures to go with it in due time, and if that isn't enough I might as well do a video tutorial as well :lol:
