Thanks to the p3dxml feature I was able to develop yet another nifty add-on. It allows you to edit SHaR's animations fully inside blender.
How to import animations in blender:
- Download and install the zip file as a blender add-on(download link below)
- Select an armature you want the animation to be applied to
- File>Import>Animation Chunk (.p3dxml)
- ???
- Profit
How to export animations from blender and into p3d:
- Download and install the zip file as a blender add-on(download link below)
- Select an armature you want the animation to extract the animation from (read warnings below)
- File>Export>Animation Chunk (.p3dxml)
- Now open your desired .p3d file with Latest (4.3+) version of Lucas' Pure3D Editor
- Import the p3dxml file as an animation chunk and use it wherever you want
- Profit
⚠ WARNING ⚠
There are a few caveats to SHaR animations.
- Every animation group has to have either 3,4,7 or 10 channels: Location, Rotation(Quaternion), Loc+Rot or Loc+Rot+Scale. Any group that doesn't fit the criteria is skipped when exported and flashes a warning. (I might fix this to be less inconvenient, but not now)
- For animations to look closest in-game, please use "Circular" Interpolation mode for Quaternion rotation and "Linear" for location.
- Some animations may look buggy in-game (limbs flipping for split seconds etc.), try baking your animations on every 1-2 frames and exporting that.
- Currently online p3d viewer does not display exported animations as in-game. Double-check them yourself before complaining!
Version history:
- 1.0 - Initial release
- 2.0 - Initial broken CAM animations
- 2.3 - CAM animations fixed and revamped
- 2.6 - Batch import all PTRN animations within p3dxml
All the magnificent creations (I could find so far) created using this add-on in no particular order
Please report all bugs either to me on discord(link in bio) or in this comment section.
Happy modding!

Weasel on a Stick 2.0 Update: Added CAM animation type support mainly used for main menu camera and mission warp cameras. It creates/reads all necessary camera animations such as FOV, near/far clipping and TRAN/LOOK/UP
2.0 Update: Added CAM animation type support mainly used for main menu camera and mission warp cameras. It creates/reads all necessary camera animations such as FOV, near/far clipping and TRAN/LOOK/UP positions. (Since all camera animations I've found are pre-baked the cam import doesn't take "interpolate" option into account)
Import operator automatically detects if you're trying to import a camera animation. It also has a checkbox that "automatically" generates camset camera markers. (Courtesy of DT Docs)
Export operator also has new options for working with CAM animations
Note: This update had limited R&D and I'm still not sure how SHAR calculates camera positioning based on TRAN/LOOK/UP. (and if it's even possible to replicate in blender) And as such I can't guarantee 1:1 conversion between blender and SHAR
