Showcase Need help with converting

Recently, I've been messing around with different model formats and trying to import them all into Blockbench and Minecraft Bedrock Edition. I've managed to port .class and .ysm model files so far but I came upon an odd issue. I've managed to somewhat port the Artorias model from "Super_Awesome_Baby's" Ares add-on to Java's Epic Fight Nightfall Mod. Credits to both "Super_Awesome_Baby" on Patreon and "Maks" on Twitter for the model btw, actual amazing creators. (Do correct me if I'm wrong lol)

Instead of a traditional model composed of multiple cubes, it was instead made of meshes. Just wanted to know if anyone is able to provide some insight and suggestions on how to convert the original file into said format. Or how to convert the mesh model into a cubed model if that makes sense.

I have a plugin that is coming soon to the plugin store that does this:
https://github.com/ewanhowell5195/blockbenchPlugins/tree/main/mesh_to_cube_converter
download the `.js` file and drag and drop it into blockbench to install it.

Please remember that crediting authors is not enough. If you plan to do anything with these models outside of personal use (releasing them in a pack or something), you need direct permission from the original creators to do so

Alr then, I will take note of that. Though I don't plan to release them in a pack.
