This script is my one click solution to getting your blender models into Nexuiz. Exporting a weapon model was never so quick and easy!
It applies the necessary transformations automatically when exporting but if you want to manually apply transformations dump your files instead.

Cool. Stuff.

Open Arena has some really good models (especially the ones wearing bikinis) so just to test out the script I exported the OA Shotgun. It looked so cool that I dropped on a bumpmap and this was the result:



The object centers were off a bit so it looks like my script needs work

I took a look at a youtube video of Open Arena just now. To be fair, their weapons do look a lot better than the one in Nekuiz, generally. Their gibs look better, too. Very nice blood splattering all over the place type effect.

All that said I've never really been a big fan of the Quake 3 gameplay. It'd be cool to have options to use some of the Open Arena models etc. in Nexuiz though.

What's gotta happen is that you guys that know about all of this modelling stuff need to start releasing these to the public! :p

They legally can, but SavageX and I have a thing of respecting eachother's game identities.

One of my biggest issues of contributing to Nexuiz was the SMD format I couldn't export to for players. At one point I wanted to do a total manga makeover of the entire character roster to emphasize a new style.

What shocked me was how much better the weapon looked with bump and gloss. Whoever made these models are very good at keeping polycount down. I don't want to have to chose between pretty artwork and a pretty renderer.

Player model exporter is my next project.
