Hi @honestcactus, looks like the error you're getting is the same for each of the versions you tried.

While the addon doesn't support 3.4 and 4.1, I do think the issue you're specifically having is unrelated to the Blender version you're using.

This error suggests to me that the Setup Wizard is not finding an .fbx file in the folder you are selecting. Could you provide your setup (folder structure, where is the .fbx file and what you're selecting) and steps to reproduce your issue?

For example, I'm able to reproduce this error if I select a folder with no .fbx file in it. But if I select the exact .fbx file or the folder containing the .fbx file, I am able to successfully import the character model.

Hello, the tutorial address you linked cannot be opened and the display is invalid. Can you re-upload the video tutorial?

Ah that seems to be the issue, the official models are offered as .pmx not .fbx files. Here's is one folder in question.

I did also attempt to import the .pmx model via a MMD addon but that doesn't seem to work either.
