Lucas' Pure3D Editor Model XML Format Blender Add-on

• Fixed an issue where exporting an object with an empty material slot would fail.
• Fixed an issue where importing a model with a Shader element that had no Name attribute would fail.
  • This addon could not create models like this without the previous change.
• Added support for the following versions of Blender:
  • 2.63
  • 2.64
  • 2.65
  • 2.66
  • 2.67
  • 2.68
  • 2.69
  • 2.70
  • 2.71
  • 2.72
  • 2.73
  • 2.80
  • 2.81
  • 2.82
  • Blender versions lower than 2.74 cannot import normals. Blender will generate normals instead, which happens anyways when editing models in any version.
• Changed the target version of the add-on to Blender 2.80.
  • This change is required for Blender 2.80 or newer to load the add-on.
  • This will cause older versions of Blender to show a warning about this when first enabled but the addon will still work properly in those versions.
• Added the "Use Modifiers Render Settings" tickbox when exporting. This is disabled by default.
  • Also renamed the "Apply modifiers (preview resolution)" tickbox to "Apply modifiers".
  • This change is copied from a change in Blender's OBJ exporter in Blender 2.79.
  • This setting is not available in Blender 2.80 or newer as this feature was removed in Blender 2.80.
• Made it so transformations are applied after triangulating faces when exporting instead of before.
  • This change is copied from a change in Blender's OBJ exporter in Blender 2.79.
• Made it so normals get inverted on meshes with negative scaling.
  • This change is copied from a change in Blender's OBJ exporter in Blender 2.79.
• Greatly improved the speed of exporting.

• Made it so this plugin works when importing meshes that have Colour lists in some experimental versions of Blender.
• Made it support importing/exporting alpha for Vertex Colours.
  • These are currently only supported in some experimental versions of Blender.
• Updated the Documentation link (to not be broken) and the Report a Bug link (to have SSL).

Added compatibility for XML files that were exported from the Pure3D editor when a referenced Shader was missing.

• Added support for vertex colors.
• Added support for shader diffuse.
• Added support for meshes that don't have normals or UVs.
• You can now export and import Mesh chunks to and from Model XML.
• You can now export Composite Drawable chunks to Model XML (you can re-import the individual parts over individual mesh chunks).
• Backwards faces are flipped when exporting chunks to Model XML (for example, Homer's right arm in his default outfit).
