Plugin pack for exporting and setting up Koikatsu characters in Blender.
The KKBP exporter for Koikatsu is used to export the character's mesh, armature and color data. The exported data is then processed by the KKBP plugin for Blender. Once characters are setup in Blender, they can be saved as FBX files for use in other programs.
The changelog for the pack can be found here. The pack also has a barebones wiki here.
Stable versions of KKBP are on the release page.
The latest version of KKBP can be downloaded by using the green CODE button on the top right of the page and choosing "Download ZIP"
