Tips
  • You have to extract the game files first. See this guide for info on how to do that.

  • You can import mesh files from the File > Import > RE Mesh. By default, the mdf2 (material) file will be imported along with the mesh.

  • If you're on Blender 4.1 or above, you can drag and drop .mesh files onto the 3D view to import them.

  • (4.1 and above only) You can drag and drop .tex files onto the 3D view to convert them to .dds which can be edited in Photoshop (Requires the Intel DDS Plugin).

  • (4.1 and above only) Dragging a .dds file onto the 3D view will convert it to .tex. Be sure to set the Active Game in the RE MDF tab. (Press N in the 3D view if you don't see it.

  • You can only have one material per object. If you have more than one material, go into edit mode, press A to select all, press P to Separate > Separate By Material.

  • Any new sub meshes must follow the RE Engine naming scheme. (Group_X_Sub_Y__MaterialName)
- Group determines when the object is visible.
- Sub is sub mesh number, this value doesn't really matter, it's just there to prevent duplicate objects.
- MaterialName sets which material from MDF file to use for the mesh.

  • MDF material settings can be configured in the by selecting the "Material XX" objects in the outliner (top right). MDF settings can be found in the Object tab (the orange square icon).

  • You can set custom texture paths by changing the texture bindings in the MDF materials.

  • Start with a simple model first such as a weapon. These are easy to port since they usually don't have many bones or complex weighting.

  • Only start on a character model once you have a feel for the workflow.

  • For info on the different types of textures in this game, see this guide.

See the GitHub page for more info on how to use this addon.
NOTE: I am working on a more in depth guide but for now, just follow the one on GitHub.
