Blender GEOM Import/Export (Work in Progress)

This is a GEOM (body meshes) import/export plugin for Blender .

- Import: All data is imported into Blender (Vertex, Faces, Normals, Tangents, UVs, Bone Weigths and Vertex Colors)

- Export: It reads a template file (the original geom file) to find the original vertex ids and normals. (Normal are adjusted only on moved vertices).
Added vertex will be exported with the same vertex id of the nearest original vertex

How to use:
- Extract and copy the python files to folder Blender\.blender\scripts
- Export GEOM using Postal or sim3pe
- On Blender, File => Import => Sims 3 GEOM
- Edit the mesh (*)
- File => Export => Sims 3 GEOM
- To export, you need first to select the original GEOM file (to copy id references, original normals and other data), then select output file

(*) Editing problems
- Do NOT remove vertexes and/or faces (or anything that changes vertex order, like extruding faces): Original vertex ids and normals are copied using the mesh vertex order. Changing this order in any way will mess export file

- Do not change verts at seams as this will make seams visible in the game. Export script copies normals of unmoved verts from the original file, so, if seams are not touched, everything will be fine (this can be fixed in future).

- You can add new vertexes or subdivide edges, as the export script will assign to new vertices the same vertexid of the nearest original vertex, but do NOT extrude faces as this will change vertex order

- Do not choose wrong GEOM template file when exporting (resulting geom will not work).

UPDATE
- Added a morph import beta (select morph geom, then mesh geom to import a morphed mesh)
