Animation and Mesh Import
SimPE does now include a very basic Editor for ANIM (Mesh Animation) Resources, which should make it possible to decode the Animation structures.
The second Big addition for this Release is a Plugin driven GMDC Mesh Import/Export Interface. SimPe by default now includes an extended Version of Delphys .obj Exporter and an DirectX .x Exporter. It also ships with a brand new .obj Importer, that will allow you to replace/add Mesh Group definitions directly within SimPE.
Last but not least, we fixed a Bug in the default Skintone Changer (Scan Folders plugin). Now you can use Skin packages as Base files, which are not stored in one of the defined search Paths (folders.xml)
If you are interested in writing a new Exporter/Importer (maybe something for .3ds or even gmax), have a look at this Thread. It explains how to write new Exporter/Importer Plugins for SimPE.
A last word about the Version Number (0.38) We skipped a few Numbers, because we changed the Versioning of SimPE. From now on, all public SimPE Releases will have an even Version Number.
