Description

Import and export GTA V models as CodeWalker XML files directly inside Autodesk 3ds Max. No more OpenIV openFormats workflow: work straight with .ydr.xml, .ydd.xml, .ybn.xml and .yft.xml, fully compatible with GIMS EVO.
And it is really fast. Real test with 68 YDR files:

GIMS EVO (openFormats): 5 minutes
XML Tool: 8.6 seconds

Features
Import & export YDR, YDD, YBN and YFT XML files, no OpenIV needed.
Extremely fast batch import: select dozens of files at once, with progress bar and log.
GIMS EVO compatible: materials, collisions, bones, and lights work with GIMS tools.
Full support for LODs, vertex colors, UV channels, normals, skinned meshes, and lights.
YFT editing: edit vehicle models while physics data stays fully intact.
Smart export: select your model and the tool picks the right format automatically.
