Burnout series models (Takedown-era) .bgv/.btv

[UndercoverBoy833]

I know I know I keep making new topics of existing ones from xentax but I need help with Burnout models from Takedown-era games. And what I mean by Takedown-era burnout, this is about Burnout 3, Revenge, Legends PSP and Dominator. There's a blender plugin from DGIorio for importing Burnout models but it hasn't been updated since 2021 and it doesn't support latest version of Blender, it only works on v2.7, v2.8 and surprisingly it also works in v2.9 and not beyond. And I need help with the result. I just don't know how the models I have imported on my blender scene have mesh splitted by UV and idk if there's a way to fix it. And also this plugin is open-source so anyone can modify it.

I have uploaded a sample of Burnout Revenge PS2 version in bgv

I've shared the blender plugin if you want to refine and make it support for importing PS2 version of Burnout 3, Revenge and Dominator. So far it has support for Xbox version of (B3, Revenge, Revenge X360,) and PSP (Legends, Dominator, NFS Shift because it uses Dominator engine) and also fixes mesh split by UV

For textures, you have to talk to Edness since he made a noesis plugin for all Burnout games (except Paradise)

Honestly I wouldn't waste a minute with this before DGIorio's posts from Xentax have been restored.

idk what to say about it though and i just don't know what's worthy of my other topics I've created so far

I'm not sure whether this is a BO3 model, but I'd suggest to try XBOX models which you can get uvs from easily:

(Surprisingly the blender script gets the model but not the uvs.)
