Sollumz: The Blender Addon for GTA V Modding
Sollumz is the open-source Blender plugin that imports and exports GTA V asset formats directly. Here is what it supports as documented in its official repo.
Sollumz is an open-source Blender plugin that lets Blender read and write GTA V's native asset formats directly. Before Sollumz, the standard pipeline was Blender for general modeling and Zmodeler3 for the final GTA-format export step. Sollumz aims to make Blender capable of the full pipeline. Here is what it supports per the project's GitHub README.
What Sollumz is
The official description from the GitHub README: "Blender plugin to import, export, or create GTA V assets." The project was created by Skylumz, Colton Fox, and alexguirre, with copyright noted as "2020-2025."
Supported file formats
Sollumz handles the following GTA V asset formats:
- YDR - drawables (props, models)
- YDD - drawable dictionaries
- YFT - fragments (vehicles, breakable props)
- YBN - bound files (collision geometry)
- YTYP - type files (entity definitions)
- YCD - clip dictionaries (animations)
- YMAP - map placement files (with partial support per the README)
Blender version requirements
The README explicitly states: "Blender 4.0 or newer."
Documented features

- Import and export of all listed file formats
- Automatic texture loading

Where to get help
The README directs users to the project's wiki and Discord server for documentation and community support, and notes that the GitHub issue tracker is specifically for bug reports and feature requests only - general questions belong in the Discord.
What Sollumz does NOT advertise
Some functionality the README explicitly does not list:
- Direct YMT export (the metadata format used for some game data)
- Built-in handling.meta or vehicles.meta editing
- Audio asset (.awc) support
The plugin focuses on the 3D asset pipeline. Metadata files (vehicles.meta, handling.meta, carcols.meta) are still edited as plain XML/text outside the addon.
