TODO

• CSV Exporter has issues with equivalent keyframes/rotation angles close to -180/+180 degrees (think a fix).
• DAE importer to apply textures to model on import.
• Think on the possibility of a BTP Importer/Exporter.
• Add a OBJ exporter/importer for collision models (for conversion to KCL and PA).
• Rely less on blender's DAE importer/exporter (basically make my own, but I have no clue how cuz currently I have skill issue)
• ...

Features

• Custom DAE Exporter for BMD/BDL conversion with SuperBMD.
• Custom DAE Importer for DAEs that come from SuperBMD (only from SuperBMD).
• CSV Exporter for the BCK animation type (to use with the JAE, linear interpolation only).
• CSV Importer for the BCK animation type from JAE (linear interpolation only).
• Reference axis SMG axis shows on all 3d models to guide the visualization of a mesh in the Super Mario Galaxy reference system.
• Custom mesurement unit Galaxy Unit (or GU) that is used to facilitate DAE import/export without the need to re-scale manually all the time (1 GU is 100 meters).
• Epic Mario model as the default cube in Blender when starting the template (truly the most important part of the template >:]).
• ...
