BMD file
Editor's note: This page is under construction.
Pikmin 2's 3D models exist inside .bmd files.
Material data
SuperBMD can dump the material data of a model into a handy JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file. This dump outputs a mat.json file and a texheader.json file. mat.json contains the data related to the model's material. This section will document these JSON files instead of the actual material format used by Pikmin 2.
mat.json
