Pokemon Binary Importer Package - Directly import and translate binary 3DS files into Unity

Installation:

• Note: This plugin only works with the Universal Render Pipeline at the moment.

• If you have a git account, add this project as a dependency in Packages/manifest.json in the root your your project "com.opeious.pokemon3dstounity": "https://github.com/opeious/Pokemon3DStoUnity.git",

• If you don't have git setup, download and put the entire project into your Assets Folder

Usage:

• From the top bar click 3DStoUnity and hit import
• Place your 3DS files in Assets/Bin3DS that would've been created

Contributions:

If you would like to contribute to this project, I would recommend going through the TODOs at the top of PokemonImporter.cs in the main branch: https://github.com/opeious/Pokemon3DStoUnity/blob/main/Editor/PokemonImporter.cs

Settings to change for Fire to work:

• Add two new layers called "FireCore" and "FireMask"

• Either create a new ForwardRenderer (sample attached in root of this repo), or select your existing ForwardRenderer

• The default ForwardRenderer will be with URP settings in Assets/Setting

• In the ForwardRenderer: From Opaque Layer Mask remove FireCore and FireMask.

• Add two render objects one for each layer, for their individual settings refer the image below

• In your project settings. (URP Renderer Settings) If you created a new ForwardRenderer, set the new one as default

What does the package do at the moment:

• Open the Binary using SPICA's H3D parser
• Translate the 3D model to Unity Mesh system and skinned mesh renderers
• Generate material files from the textures
• Automatically copy over some of the shader settings to the newly created materials
• Skins and generates the skeleton for the mesh
• Generates skeletal animations from the binaries
• Generate material / vis animations and append them to skeletal animations
• Renames animations, skips repeated animations
• Saves the translated mon as prefab
• Supports bulk processing

Updating:

• Unity package manager doesn't currently support version of git packages, for now just remove the project as a dependency and add it again
