Reverse engineer 3D model data

[Calinou]

MDK uses 3D model data for many purposes:

• Enemies
• The player during the flying intro and outro sequences (but not during the rest)
• Pick-up items
• Sniper projectiles

This data should then be used to generate a Mesh resource using one of Godot's procedural geometry generation classes. The Mesh resource can then be displayed using a MeshInstance node. The texture can then be displayed by adding a SpatialMaterial to this MeshInstance node.

Model animation will need to be displayed somehow. MDK likely uses vertex animations instead of skeletal animation, but I cannot confirm this for sure yet. If vertex animation is used, it can be displayed either by using ImmediateGeometry (which is slow) or by using a vertex shader (which is difficult). If skeletal animation is used, it can be displayed using Godot's usual skeleton node setup which can be created and manipulated at run-time.
