I wouldn't make that presumption, as Noesis supports a lot of standard formats and can be useful as an actual pipeline tool. (I used it for my own iPhone game, automating batch conversion of my assets, mostly from COLLADA to my proprietary in-engine format) Although it does sadly seem unlikely that anyone else is using it legitimately for that purpose.

Being your Tool, I can see the Pipe line reason.
Being that someone wants it to work in such a way with Blender and wants someone else to do the hard work to save them time?
It just sends messages I don't get I'll admit that.

On a different wave length................

I know I may have missed something and you can spank me if I did.
Is there built in support to compute Normals and Tangents on opening a file?

does this support any naruto models? cause i want Zabuza equipped with his sword...

Nope, this supports Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Stom 2.

If you don't feed normals/tangents to Noesis, it will automatically generate them internally.

I've never played with animations before but is there some sort of animation technique that allows you to define a particular set of ... animations ... and re-use it for an arbitrary model? Like for example if someone writes a set of dance sequences and wants a bunch of random models to follow it.

Sure, just rig all the models to the same skeleton. If the skeletons aren't the same it gets more complicated, but you can still map bones between skeletons and hope things look alright.

Would anyone be able to make a plugin for me? I have the model format as well as scene, bone, texture information, etc.
I am only 13 so that means I have not had any coding experience but I enjoy model ripping.
I won't have anything to give anyone who knows how to do this, so it's perfectly understandable if nobody will.

Didn't MrAdults start coding when he was like 11 or something lol
And I bet programming at that time was quite a challenge compared to what we have today.

This thread is for Noesis related issues...

I was talking about a Noesis plugin, so doesn't that make it a Noesis-related issue?
Where I live there are no opportunities to learn coding until the age of 15, so I haven't had that opportunity.

you are online? there are a million places to learn coding.

It may take you a while, but, enjoy. I also recommend a book store. There are lots of cheap books on learning programming in a variety of languages from the ground up.

Lol thanks, It's been a while since I first learned a little bit of c++ and this looks a little bit similar.
