About DragonFF

DragonFF is a Blender add‑on for handling GTA RenderWare files. It imports and exports model files (.dff), texture files (.txd) (export marked partial, experimental), collision files (.col) – including collisions embedded in .dff – and map files (.ide, .ipl) (import partial, experimental). The add‑on supports skinned meshes, multiple UV maps and mass export, and recognizes material effects such as environment mapping, bump mapping, dual textures and UV animation, plus Rockstar‑specific extensions like specular, reflection, breakable, pipeline set, night vertex color and 2D effects. Its Python modules are independent of the Blender API and can be used in other Python environments. DragonFF requires Blender 4.2 LTS or newer and is released under the GNU GPL v3.0 or later.
