⚠️ This repository focuses on REDengine 3 for The Witcher 3. For WolvenKit for Cyberpunk 2077 please see: https://github.com/WolvenKit/WolvenKit

WolvenKit is an open-source modding tool for The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. Our vision is to develop a standalone software which is capable of reading and writing all REDengine file formats. Additionally the WolvenKit application is designed to simplify and accelerate modding workflows. This repository was created to demonstrate how CDPR's proprietary REDengine reads and writes file formats.

This toolkit is being made solely for research and educational purposes, and the dev team is in no way responsible for any malfunctions that occur from its use. It's completely open source, licensed under the GPL-3.0, and in no way is it made to generate revenue.
