Noesis (ARCHIVED)

What is Noesis?

Introduction

Noesis' UI with CP77 python plugin

From the website: Noesis is a tool for previewing and converting between hundreds of model, image, and animation formats. It utilizes a robust plugin system, with support for native extension modules and Python scripts.

Noesis is considered one of Cyberpunk 2077 Modding's cornerstones for its ability to open .mesh files and convert it into a wide variety of other 3d file extensions (like GLB and FBX) thanks to alphaZomega's CP77 Python script that makes that possible.

Same goes for .xbm files.

Importing

Open your 3d file (like .fbx or .glb) in Noesis64.exe, export and select .mesh - CyberPunk 2077 mesh [PC], when a dialogue box shows up browse and select the .mesh file that is appropriate for your import(for example if it was a shirt you'd probably export over .mesh files that has shirts in them), then click OK.
