Step 2 Extracting Models

Create a folder

Extract SimpleDSCSModManager to this folder

Open the Extracted folder and open the application "SimpleDSCSModManagerDEBUG"

It will ask for you to locate the game, probably in
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition\resources"

On the upper right there is an "Extract" tab

Most Digimon Models are located in DSDB but some are located in DSDBP, so extract the two folders.
The other folders have scenarios, effects and other things.

Step 3 - Installing addons

Extract the content of Blender_tools_for_dscs in the blender add-ons folder
Probably in:
C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.83\scripts\addons

Enable the addons by nabigating to the "Edit" menu, then clicking on "preferences", the addons are for the game files "Import-Export: Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth ( .name)" and for 3D printing models evaluation;fixing "Mesh: 3D-Print Toolbox"

Step 4 - Importing Models

Select the digimon you want to import from the list in the google drive.

For those wondering, I tried it on Blender 3.6 and the addon worked. However it is named "Import-Export: Media.Vision Import/Export (.name)"
Strangely enough that was also the same name when I tried on version 2.83 of Blender.

[Japa]

It only works with Blender 2.83

[Spike]

Import-Export: Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth.name does not appear in the list of add-ons

i am learning about importing animations too, i am creating .GIFs for my guides, check them too! :3:csce_wormmon:

[JoeKester]

I figured out how to get the animations in case anyone's looking for it.
There's a setting called "Import Mode" when you're importing the .name file to Blender. Change it from "Modelling" to "Animation" and it will import the animations with the model.

[JoeKester]

I managed to export and load the Turuiemon model into Blender, but its missing all of it's animations. Did I do something wrong?

[Japa]

they are totally 3D printable, you can pose them howerver you like.
i will add some instructions to 3D print them

[the_green_one009]

:O would they need much work to make them 3d printable.... are they manifold...

[Japa]

The names of Digimons used on the google drive list are named after the Japanese Source Translation rather the Emglish Dub, i explained about this on another of my guides but in short, some Digimom's names are different like Dukemom = Gallantmon, Ominimom = Omegamon, Leopardmon = Duftmon.

I did not created this list, i will create another one later with the English Dub names, the ones used in the game
