Source code of the Houdini plugin #9

I was wondering if there's any chance to release the source code of the Houdini plugin to tinker with. This project is very promising, but as it stands, I see no simple way of generating .fem metadata without using Houdini, and even using Houdini I found it very difficult to import and export simple arbitrary models for testing in UE4.

Are there plans to create other methods to create content for UE4? Perhaps a plugin for either a free alternative such as Blender or perhaps a tool to create content from within UE4? Can someone explain what the general goal is of this project and if there are people who have created content other than the developers, and have succesfully imported it into UE4? I would love to hear from you.

@elarsen-amd Any update on this? It's incredibly unhelpful to just dump software into the open source sphere where a huge part of it is linked to proprietary software. It seems at best, someone has to sit here and pour over the source code to recreate tooling in something OSS, such as Blender.
