 Although the overall structure of a P3DM MLOD model file is similar to SP3X MLOD model files there are some notable differences. Namely, Materials, Multiple UVSets and Animations. Although the overall structure of a P3DM MLOD model file is similar to SP3X MLOD model files there are some notable differences.
