Import/Export

What is the Import/Export tool?
The Import/Export tool is an all-purpose method for exporting and importing REDengine files. Game files such as models and textures can be exported from REDengine formats such as XBM and MESH into generic assets such as TGA and glTF. As the name of the tool suggests, these files can be edited externally and imported back into REDengine format and packed as a mod.
The Import/Export tool automatically updates its grid with the files inside the Project Explorer
Supported Formats
The following formats are supported by WolvenKit
mesh  ↔  glb/glTF
Rigged and static 3d models can be converted to and from REDengine. Our converter supports simple non-targeted skinned meshes for extreme efficiency. Advanced methods support multi-mesh, multi-rig, and material embedded meshes. Meshes with embedded morph targets are automatically included as shapekeys. WolvenKit can also export to virtually any 3d format (non-natively) through the built-in renderer Ab3d. You can read more about Ab3d here.

morphtarget → glb/glTF
REDengine morphtargets can be exported to glTF format. The morphs can be viewed as shapekeys/blendshapes with a 3d package, but cannot be imported at this time.

xbm  ↔  dds
Textures can be converted to and from REDengine. WolvenKit features a built-in converter to seamlessly work with files such as PNG, or TGA as well.

mlmask ↔ dds
REDengine mlmask files can be exported as an array of textures. These texture arrays can be encoded as a new mlmask with a bespoke masklist helper file.

bk2 ↔ avi
Video files can be converted to and from REDengine. (Currently implemented with Project Explorer instead of the Import/Export tool)
Using the Import/Export tool
From the main Editor click the Utilities tab of the Ribbon. Open the Import/Export tool by clicking the icon within the ribbon. The Import/Export tool can then be accessed similarly to other WolvenKit tools such as the Asset Browser.
The Import/Export tool has a tendency to open up in a shrunken way, drag the bottom/sides to resize it and view the file grid.
WolvenKit saves the current layout when the application is closed. If you frequently use the Import/Export tool,  you can close the app with the tool in your preferred location to save it. We hope to have a more elegant solution for this in the future.
