v3.0

This is the initial release of the NFSHPR Exporter for Blender.

This Blender addon is a new, improved rewrite of the first private version.
This addon can export vehicles, wheels, maps, collisions, and characters. It supports setting LODs (level of detail), using all the game shaders, editing all the materials properties, setting texture types, editing vehicle lights and driver positions, and much more.
There are still some limitations when exporting props, dynamic objects, and lights effects of tracks due to the complex file structure.
