NExport - An alternative to Roblox's GLTF/OBJ export

Hello developers, i would like to introduce NExport, a solution to a problem I— and likely many others have been struggling with.
Roblox’s default exporting (.OBJ/.GLTF) is very bad, each have their pros and cons and there is no native solution combining both, which is why i created this.

NExport tries to bridge the gap and give you the pros of both. NExport supports: meshes (including the meshes of others, bypassing native asset permission blocks), materials, lighting, hierarchy support (folders in your model get turned into an empty in Blender with all the assets parented to it), and also attempts to minimize vertices as much as possible for performance!

A video of it in use (it supports larger models too, don’t worry):

All files, instructions, and the license is located in my repository

Please let me know if there are any issues, if there is anything confusing or something you think should be changed, let me know (or make a push request or whatever, I’m new to this git stuff)

It currently can’t export advanced stuff like this:
(Roblox)


(Blender)

I hope to fix this soon, contributions are always welcome too.
(note: it seems to be due to the lack of support of unions)

NExport V1.1:
Features:

  • Added support for decals
  • Added support for unionoperations

Improvements:

  • The HTTP sender/receiver now works in chunks, so you can now export files of any size without being restricted by the 1024 KB payload limit
  • New support Discord channel for if you have any issues (I’ll respond as soon as possible)
