Element

Per-element settings the writer reads for the active mesh. The parent panel holds the element-type selector; the body splits into subpanels.

The element type decides the Godot node: Mesh exports a Polygon2D (a deformable cutout with UVs and weights), Sprite exports a Sprite2D (a spritesheet sliced by an hframes x vframes grid).

Active Mesh​

Shown when the element type is Mesh. The mesh exports as a Polygon2D - its vertices carry their own positions, so the Blender origin is baked in at export.

Active Sprite​

Shown when the element type is Sprite. Only the spritesheet metadata is exported, not the quad geometry:

  • hframes / vframes - the spritesheet grid (columns x rows).
  • frame - the cell shown at rest pose; animation tracks override it.
  • centered - Godot Sprite2D.centered: texture centred on the node origin, or its top-left at the origin.

Texture Region​

Which part of the texture the element samples. Auto reads the region from the mesh UV bounds at export; Manual reads region_x/y/w/h verbatim for atlas slicing. Snap to UV bounds fills the manual fields from the current UV.

Drive from Bone​

Wires a Blender driver between a pose bone and a sprite proscenio.* property - good for changes that vary continuously with rotation (iris scroll, a threshold flag). For a clean either/or swap, use a slot instead.
