Blender NaomiLib importer Addon

NaomiLib is a graphic format developed by AM2 division, extensively used by SEGA between 1999-2001 in SEGA Naomi arcade hardware and SEGA Dreamcast. Currently there are two known NaomiLib versions: NLOBJPUT Ver.0.99 and 0.8

Check out our Wiki if you're looking for model format!

NaomiLib format has been researched by VincentNL for the initial purpose of creating custom 3D models in Virtua Tennis (Virtua Merdaio). Upon completing the model structure research, Vincent eventually met TheZocker on Blender Script Discord channel and thanks to TheZocker immense Blender & Python coding skills, their cooperation eventually led to the present addon. The release version is able to open 3D models in NL format and variation used by Super Monkey Ball on Gamecube.

Features

  • Loads 3D models with original texture U/V

Import function has several options:

  1. Load Directory, to load all models in the same folder.
  2. Clean scene (Clean up the current scene before import)
  3. Scale factor (Especially useful to reduce Super / Monkey Balls huge 3D backgrounds)
  4. Lz_p (3D model containers used by Super Monkey Ball on GameCube) Limited support
  5. Orientation (Z-Up / -X Default)
  6. Debugging

Contacts / Bug Reports:

This addon is currently in WIP status, new features and games will be added to the list as we gather new data.

Before reporting an issue please check this out:

  1. Please note, if you want to load all models in a folder remember to tick "Load Directory" option before import.
  2. Textures are loaded automatcally (.png/.tga), if they are placed in a Textures folder in the same directory where model is stored.
  3. If you want to swap a texture on a model, change TextureID in Naomi Parameters box.
  4. You cannot export models in NL format (yet).
  5. We do not distribute any game model / textures. You will have to legally dump your own games and extract files from it. Specific extractors are provided on a dedicate Game Extraction Tools section. If you want to help us out in finding new games supporting NL, find any bug or errors in loading models, please reach me out on Discord: **Vincent#5259
