Inter-Quake Export (IQE) Loader

This is an IQE format loader I wrote to load the Ryzom project assets that are available in IQE format here:

https://bitbucket.org/ccxvii/ryzom-assets

It loads both the models and their bonetrack animations.

This loader is part of a larger project I’m working on to make all of the Ryzom character models and animations easily available for use in JME projects.

Testing, technical suggestions, and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s a picture of some of the Ryzom models loaded with my loader:

@Alweth I’d like to incorporate IQELoader.java (above) into Maud, my editor for JME models, to enable Maud to directly import IQE assets. If I did this, I’d include your copyright/permission notice and acknowledge you in the documentation.

Maud is open-source, available from GitHub: GitHub - stephengold/Maud: An editor for jMonkeyEngine 3-D models (code has New BSD license)
so I can’t incorporate your code without distributing it.

Would distribution in this manner be in accord with your intentions as the author of IQELoader.java?

Yes, you have my permission to include it as you have stated.

Thank you.
