Hi There,  
  
  
  
I am able to export POD files from blender. But each time I have to open the PVRShaman, add my PFX shader and attach it to mesh and resave the POD file.  
  
Is there a way to do this in blender directly as I export the POD ?  
  
  
  
Thanks,  
  
Madan

Hi,  
  
  
  
I’m afraid there’s no way of setting the PFX file and effect from Blender.  
  
  
  
If you happen to be exporting the same scene multiple times you could use the Merge .PFX/.PVR option under the Materials tab to merge in your changes on subsequent exports. This’ll work as long as the materials don’t changes names between exports.  
  
  
  
Cheers,  
  
  
  
Scott

Is the POD binary available ? To know at which position this data can be edited using a script ?
