GD-SWF

A simple character SWF previewer and exporter made for porting SWF data to other software. (WIP)

Made using Godot 4.6 NET and swflib.

This is a software designed to help port SWF character models (for games) to game engines and other software.
It is still a big work in progress and may be a bit slow due to lack of resources.

Keep in mind that this is a hobby project, don't expect something too polished or professional!

Feel free to check the SWFPlayer script to see how I personally render the data directly from the polygons.

Special thanks to RetroPaint for helping and letting me work on a Skelform export too :D

Help needed

• Fix the parenting issue with some swf where some items don't get parented for some reason?

Maybe upcoming features:

• Morphs support.
• Better polygon and nested color mapping generation.
• An export to Godot Animation player.
• A portable Godot resource export instead of Json.
• Xml export (only if wanted. I don't like dealing with them..)
• Full SWF animation data export (Tho scripted stuff will be left out unless someone figured that out, I guess?)
• Release Builds.
