for Blender 5 ( should ? run on Blender 4.5 exr/lts)

----- Import_cmod_mesh_parallel.py ----- imports ONLY the ASCII format cmod

for the CMOD import plugin the cmod MUST be in ASCII format use " cmodfix -a input.bin.cmod output.ascii.cmod " on the commandline

use copy/past to add the location of the textures folder IF!!! they are not in the same folder as the cmod full system path is needed like the celestia addon file structure

.
└── addon
    ├── models
    │   └── mesh.ascii.cmod
    └── textures
        └── medres
            ├── image1.png
            └── image2.png

"/home/user/celestia/extras/addon/textures/medres"

----- Export_cmod_mesh_parallel.py -----

ALL textures must be using the "Principled BSDF" shader node

if the textures are packed into the blend file use File / External Data / Unpack Resources

or move them into the file structure above to use "cmodview-qt6"

----- io_import_LRO_Lola_MGS_Mola_img.py -----

rework of the orignal plugin for 2.58
