How to Import DBD Models and Animations into Blender
This video is a one and a half hour comprehensive tutorial on everything you need to know about importing and rendering 3d models from the game Dead By Daylight in Blender.
Full credit and my sincere thanks goes to Frutto, Skemooo and Pumpkin who helped me learn how to do this process, so I wanted to give back and help others who might have trouble importing DBD models into Blender.

So I do know that this is quite an intimidating video which is why I have broken it up into chapters as much as possible. Most of the time is spent on creating Shader Maps, but it leads to an awesome result.
