An addon for Blender that allows you to import and export DAE/GR2 files for Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2.

Be sure to grab the LaughingLeader Helpers addon for layer support and additional export setup on individual objects.

• Export to dae, or export to gr2 if the path to divine.exe is set.
• Automatically rotate the object for DOS2/BG3's Y-Up world (Blender is Z-Up).
• Use the layer name, active object name, or action name (animations) when exporting.
• Use built-in presets for quick exporting.
• Specify project paths to skip having to manually navigate to the correct folder when exporting.
• Specific Custom Properties on meshes are exported (Rigid, Cloth, MeshProxy). You can also globally flag your meshes with one of these flags.
• BG3-specific settings are imported/exported: LOD, LOD distance, Skeleton resource info, mesh flags (Spring, Occluder, ...)

• Download this repository as a zip (using the green Clone or download button).
• Save the addon somewhere where you can find it again.
• Extract the zip.
• Copy the folder io_scene_dos2de. Make sure this is the folder with the scripts under it (io_scene_dos2de\__init__.py etc).
• Paste the io_scene_dos2de folder into your addons folder. Default path:

%APPDATA%\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.6\scripts\addons

• (Optional) Refer to Blender's guide for installing addons here: Install from File. It has a tip section for setting up a separate scripts/addons folder, outside of your appdata.

• In Blender, navigate to File -> User Preferences -> File.
• The path for "Scripts" is where Blender will read new addon folders from. Add a path if it's blank.
• Clone the repository.
• Create a junction to the io_scene_dos2de inside your scripts/addons folder.
  • You can create a junction with this command line command:

mklink /j "C:\Path1\io_scene_dos2de" "C:\Path2\scripts\addons\io_scene_dos2de"

• Alternatively, this program allows junction/symlink creation via right clicking files/folders in a file explorer: Link Shell Extension
  • With this program installed, right click the io_scene_dos2de folder and select "Pick Link Source", then go to scripts/addons, right click the background, and select Drop As... -> Junction.

• In Blender, navigate to File -> User Preferences -> Add-ons
• Either search for "Divinity", or click Community, then Import-Export.
• Check the checkbox next to "Divinity Collada Exporter".

• I don't see the addon inside Blender.
  Make sure the folder with the scripts (io_scene_dos2de/init.py, etc) is the folder inside scripts/addons. Blender won't read a nested folder. For example, if your folder is located like so: scripts/addons/io_scene_dos2de/io_scene_dos2de, Blender won't load the scripts or recognize the addon.

This is the path to divine.exe, bundled with Norbyte's Export Tool. If set, the addon can export to the GR2 format, using divine.

If checked, "Convert to GR2" will automatically be checked when exporting. Requires divine.exe's path to be set.

If set, the addon will default to the selected preset when opening it up for the first time.

Project paths can be configured for quicker exporting.

The "root" folder your blend files will be under. This is a parent folder the addon will compare your blend file's path against.

When the above folder is found in the blend's path, this folder will be the default root when exporting.

If checked and a project folder is detected, the current preset will automatically determine the subfolder. For instance, if you have a project folder set, and an export folder set to Public/Modname_UUID/Assets, then selecting the "Model" preset defaults the exported file to "Assets/Model".

This is a heavily modified version of Godot Engine's "Better" Collada Exporter for Blender, located here: https://github.com/godotengine/collada-exporter

Special thanks to Norbyte for developing and maintaining https://github.com/Norbyte/lslib, which is the sole reason we can even convert models to DOS2's format in the first place.
