* [http://mods.oni2.net/node/38 '''Current version of OniSplit.'''] This is the tool needed to import and export assets out of Oni. '''DO NOT USE OniSplit GUI or Vago for importing Oni assets into Blender''' - neither of these weren't updated in a long time, and thus they don't support OniSplit's v0.9.99.2 -blender option. You can still use them for other purposes though, such as sounds and converting .oni files to XMLs, etc. | * [http://mods.oni2.net/node/38 '''Current version of OniSplit.'''] This is the tool needed to import and export assets out of Oni.
