PyNifly V25.5 -- Native HKX Animation Support

PyNifly can now import and export HKX animations natively in pure Python for all three game formats. No external tools (hkxcmd) required.

Major credit for this work goes to DagobaKing and PredatorCZ. They did the heavy lifting on figuring out the HKX format.

New Features

  • Native FO4 HKX animation import and export
  • Native Skyrim LE and Skyrim SE HKX animation import and export
  • Import an HKX skeleton, load a NIF mesh onto it, animate, and export -- all without leaving Blender
  • Automatic LE/SE detection from skeleton file; easy conversion between formats
  • Annotation events preserved as Blender timeline markers on import and export

See the wiki for the full workflow guide.
