.about

• evegr2tojson.exe - A command line tool for converting EVE Online .gr2 files to JSON.
• blender_gr2_loader.py - A Blender 5.0 plugin for loading .gr2 and .gr2_json files.

Requirements

evegr2tojson.exe is a prebuilt command-line converter for EVE Online .gr2 files. It may work with other Granny files from the same Granny version, but that is untested.

This repository does not include the Granny runtime DLL.

To run the converter, place a compatible granny2.dll beside evegr2tojson.exe, or make it available through your local runtime path.
