Early release: still mapping the full VFX format. Feedback welcome on Discord.

v0.6.3 Changes:

- New Dummies system: one-click to create attachment points ($prop_flag, muzzle, thruster, corona, etc.) with auto-parenting to the selected mesh

- Longer animations: fixed a vertex count mismatch that crashed RED editor on larger morph animations

- Automatic transforms: no more manual Ctrl+A before export

- Modernized limits: removed outdated vanilla RF restrictions, added DDS texture support

- Streamlined UI: cleaned up panels, removed unused settings, improved Blender 5.0 compatibility
