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

ChangeLog:

• v2.1: Ability to override animation controller during import, List fix (2019.1 and below)
• v2.0: Added option to generate and apply shiny materials
• v1.9: Fix (Changed parser to allow reading of Binaries that are set to read only.)
• v1.8: Fixes, delete settings to regenerate defaults, custom shader support for material animations
• v1.7: Fire Shader
• v1.6: Full material / vis animation support, bunch of fixes related to animations and skipping corrupt files etc.
• v1.5: Added Visiblity animations, fixed iris/body shaders, Material aniamtions (preview)
• v1.4: Added UI, made the plugin customizable, animation renaming, etc
• v1.3: Skeletal animation generation
• v1.2: Skinning and rigging fixes
• v1.1: sample toon shader, asset creation
• v1: basic skeleton, model, texture generation

pokemon3dstounity's Issues

Remove mesh filter from final prefab

This component is not needed for skinned mesh renderer

Import sources from external directory/Convert files to FBX format

Is it possible that the source files can be read from an external location and them convert it to fbx format using the package Autodesk FBX SDK for Unity? Thanks.

multhread support?

I used a batch script to assign all the corresponding folders and then build them, and it took me several hours to complete the task

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

Hi hope you can help, I keep getting errors when I try to Import. I've split my binaries into Pokemon folders but haven't been able to actually start converting the binary files in Unity yet. I've attached the errors generated in console below (errors.txt), I'm sure I've just done something wrong on my end, any ideas?
