The tool is under development, as is the documentation.
This will cover starting with an existing Blender file as a template, changing colours, species, outfits and weapons, then rendering and creating the WAX file for use in Dark Forces. No previous Blender knowledge is required, all the core functionality is in a custom UI panel shown in the screenshot.
Please check back soon for more information.
Before we get started, there are some tools to download:
