The good news is, Multiple models per file and multiple materials per model is supported, as is the two UV maps each model has (some duplicate the UV on both channels, but some, especially the main characters do have different UVs on each channel. I expect this is for effects like texturing and dirt/normal to be on separately laid out maps. But I have not looked into this in depth)
Also, this importer supports two model formats the game uses Bmd6model, and bmodel. should load either with no problem.

Example:


Multiple Material zones as defined in-game


All the parts with textures (I frankly don't know where all the gears go LOL)

The parts were found in these various directories:
Base Model: Pack 1\generated\basemodel\models\characters\mech\clockwork
Wooden Armor parts: Pack 1\generated\model\models\characters\mech\clockwork\breakables
Gears and Guts: Pack 1\generated\model\models\characters\mech\clockwork\wheels
Textures were all in: Pack 1\generated\image\models\characters\mech\clockwork\textures

Edit: Head parts are in the root of the extraction directory, Named like this: "nocloth_f_str_alexi_head_6381dc2474fd3c558dde926c5129fcad.bmd6model" for Alexi model.

Additionally, it seems like a lot of small parts to models are in the 'voidresourcecache' folder.

So that's the basic arrangement for assets.

If you come across any model files that produce an error, let me know the model name and location and I'll see what I can do about fixing.

Oh yeah I should add, importer is for Blender 2.70 and above, and if you need to know how to install, see my previous tutorial here:

Enjoy.

Edit: new version below.

Okay.. how to import skeleton? Your script can import only meshes.

Probably not, I haven't messed with it for over a year now, and I don't even have the game/files installed anymore.

But I don't understand how to extract game files (.resources).. Help me.

As a result, here is a new, effectively rewritten from scratch version of the model importer add-on, which supports:

1) Blender 2.8
2) Bone weights and skeletons: the skeletons are bare, so they don't look nice, but they do work.
3) Materials: while manually assembling a few materials for a character isn't that hard, when it comes to hundreds of materials in a map, with a few textures in each, doing everything manually isn't practical. The addon now reads material definition files and assembles simple PBR node materials with textures.
4) Static map geometry: the add-on can now import bwm files, with support for LOD filtering based on distance from the blender cursor.
5) Map entities: the entities files can also be imported, adding all declared lights and referenced models to the scene.

More detailed documentation is in a readme.txt file inside the add-on zip file.

Since importing a model now involves accessing other files, models should be imported directly from the directory where the resource packs were unpacked. The add-on also now includes Volfin's texture converter and texconv.exe so that it can do the bimage7 -> dds -> png conversion on demand (if a png or tga file is already there it'll just use it of course).
