Why This Partnership Matters
When Rockstar released GTA 5 Enhanced for PC as a free upgrade, the improved graphics came with a major drawback—almost every FiveM asset became unusable in the enhanced edition. This forced the thriving roleplay community to remain on the legacy version throughout 2025, unable to enjoy the visual improvements.
Sollumz is a Blender add-on for importing, exporting, and creating GTA V assets, and now it’s the first community tool to utilize Materia, the conversion library powering Cfx.re’s official Alchemist tool. This groundbreaking collaboration bridges the compatibility gap that’s been frustrating modders for months.
What’s New in Sollumz 2.8.0?
The latest update introduces game-changing features for content creators:
Direct Binary Support: Work with Legacy (Gen8) and Enhanced (Gen9) assets without intermediate XML conversions. Import and export .ybn, .ydr, .ydd, .yft, .yld, and .ytyp files directly.
Blender 5.0 Compatibility: Full support for the latest Blender version while maintaining backward compatibility with versions 4.0-4.5.
Enhanced Workflow Tools: Automatic vehicle window shattermap generation, improved vertex paint tools, and streamlined export processes that dramatically speed up creation times.
Rockstar’s Evolving Relationship with Modders
Rockstar acquired Cfx.re in August 2023, marking a dramatic shift in the company’s stance toward modding. What was once a cautious relationship has transformed into active collaboration, with Rockstar now providing resources and infrastructure to support the creative community.
Developer Alex Guirere highlighted the partnership’s significance, explaining how the collaboration with Rockstar Games and Cfx.re on the Materia library enables native binary format support, making workflows smoother and more efficient for thousands of content creators.
Impact on the GTA RP Community
With over 200,000 players online at any given time across FiveM servers, this partnership couldn’t come at a better time. Popular roleplay servers can now transition to Enhanced Edition without losing years of custom content development. The move promises better performance, modern graphics, and continued support for the modding ecosystem.
