I know, I'm asking for a highly challengeble task, but TK17 desperatelly needs a tool for easy and user-friendly import-export in Blender to keep TK17 alive.
There is an old "CollaTkane" tool for converting DAE to TXX, but it works with ancient Blender 2.78. It is extremely outdated and it makes impossible to set the textures right. After a dozens of attempts (for room for example) the conversion might go right for TK17, but it takes a lot of time.
There is a handy tool by Xxpy02: https://roysforum.com/thread-485.html which works with body-mods only. And it wasn't developed for a long time. Ability to add verticies is super great which may boost the body quality, but it doesn't work for female bodies (bodies remain lowpoly and non-smoothed).
There is no "all-in-one" tool for latest Blender versions (for. 3.6 at least) that would cover rooms, bodies, clothes and all that. I would really like to add something to TK, but I simply have no opportunity to do that. There are a lot of addons that import DAZ, Koikatsu, iClone stuff in Blender and others, but there is no such thing for TK17. It really restrains modding community.
Maybe it is too much, but TK17 needs an addon for Blender that imports stuff to Blender and exports it back. I mean, without "dancing around Blender 2.78" and smoking tutorials. Without working on every single material to make it work in TK17.
An easy pipeline "TK17-Blender-TK17" would greatly boost TK17 modding community.
P.S.: as an icing on cake, a simple conversion for PES animations to BVH or whatever else would be great =) I've been asking it for years, but it's just my personal thing. Though, converting Rigify animation to TK17 would be handy too =)
