Blender (BVH) Importer Addon for Godot

This addon for Godot will automatically import any .bvh file in your project directory.

Changes to the file will be automatically picked up, and your scene updated.

How to Use:

TL,DR:

• Add this addon to your Godot addons directory, activate it, and make sure the Blender path is correct in project settings.
• Now bvh files in the project directory magically auto-import and auto-update

Longer Version:

You will need Godot 4.0 nightly or Github builds and Blender 2.93.5

1. Open this project in Godot Engine 4.0. (or add the addons directory to your project)
2. May not be needed: Go to Project Settings > Plugins and make sure the plugin Blend is activated.
3. May not be needed: Go to Project Settings > General > Filesystem > Import > Blender (or just search for blender at the top) and make sure the path to Blender is set. If Blender is in your global path (for example, if you use scoop to install Blender, or you are on Linux/Mac), you can just leave the default blender.
4. Save bvh files to the project folder.
5. Switch to Godot, and see the bvh file getting auto-imported
6. From the imported file, you can now create an inherited scene (double click the file and Godot will propose to create an inherited scene for you).

If you change your bvh file, remember to close your inherited scene in Godot (without saving it), or else you won't be able to see the changes.

Known Bugs

• It seems the editor can sometimes hang on exit if scenes are left open and unsaved
• If a scene is open, and the bvh file is updated, changes will not be reflected until the scene is reopened (known Godot limitation)
