Hey folks. I'm just passing by to announce that I'm (unofficially) picking up the work from QuakeForge for the MDL Import/Export add-on for Blender.
I'm currently adapting the code to work with blender 2.8 or greater (I hope) from now and also start adding some new features.

On that note, I'll need testers or people willing to use it so I can maintain it with a pretty smile. :-)
For now, the importer seems to be working OK, the exporter is next and that's when I'll need most of the test work. But feel free to start importing models into the latest version of Blender!

Changes:
+Added support for Quake Hexen II palettes and palette picker
+Added shadeless material to the render view
+Added import re-scaling option
~Fixed Import API for Blender 2.8
~Minor fixes
-Removed export support for now

To download and test, install the add-on the zip at https://github.com/victorfeitosa/quake-hexen2-mdl-export-import/archive/adapting-to-blender-2-8.zip

For now, send PMs for bug reports and whatnot. I'll soon add guidelines to contributing and bug reporting.

Happy modelling!

What kind of you are using (soundbar, multi-channel surround, or headphones)? Whether your display supports HDR/4K or standard 1080p ?

: The x264 codec is renowned for preserving the "film grain" that gives Alien its gritty, industrial look. In 1080p, the details of the derelict spacecraft and the Xenomorph’s glistening skin are sharp and immersive.

Near the climax, as Ripley escapes the self-destructing Nostromo , she discovers Captain Dallas (Tom Skerritt) and Brett (Harry Dean Stanton) safely cocooned in the ship's bowels. Dallas is being systematically transformed into a Xenomorph egg. He begs Ripley to kill him, and she incinerates him with a flamethrower.

Experiencing Alien in a high-quality 1080p Blu-ray encode highlights why the film won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.

The crew listens to the mysterious, acoustic distress signal radiating from the derelict spacecraft before descending onto LV-426.

Cool, Good Job!

I'll probably maintain my fork still, but I'll probably get some queues from this, thanks!
Btw I'm not really doing anything for QuakeForge, just forking their initial code. I have my own roadmap for this, which might be more Hexen II focused.

Does this generate the bunch of QC code necessary to map frames? :D

Not Really

But thats a good idea. When exporting is done I might add that in eventually.

Exporter Released

Alright, just in time for the Blender 2.82 export is done. Big thanks to @Khreator for giving a great insight into exporting issues.

List of features:
+ Export support
+ Support for importing/exporting multiple skins
+ Better scaling adjustments, eyeposition follows scale factor

This is still considered an alpha release. But it should be good enough.

What Is Ask Myself

#7 posted by wakey on 2020/03/04 00:36:49

for a long time now: Would it be possible to save a blender physics simulation as frame animated .mdl/.md3?

#8 posted by chedap on 2020/03/04 03:28:44

Enable MDD export addon. Export your simulation to MDD. Remove the sim from the object. Import MDD back into your object. You now have all of your sim frames as separate shape keys, ready to export to .mdl

Actually

#9 posted by chedap on 2020/03/04 04:19:34

Disregard that. It works fine without any of that extra voodoo, just export whatever straight to .mdl

Niiiice

Then let's think about practical use cases.
First think that comes to my mind are death animations, sagging bodies.
Explosion debrie might also work out.
I guess anything fluidic is out of question, like a tiling wave simulation anim.

What else comes to mind?

Flags, fire, chains, breaking doors, breaking walls, etc.
