Getting Started
Download GDI Explorer and extract your .cdi/.gdi file contents of your legally owned and app-supported ROM file.
Click to load a polygon and an associated texture file, or just a dedicated texture file by itself. Hold control when clicking to select multiple files.
Browse Models using arrow keys or model navigation buttons.
Click a polygon to highlight its texture, then hit the icon. Edit the texture color sliders or replace the image. You can also drag a file into the right panel.
Once textures are edited, click to download the updated texture files.
If you've edited vertex colors, click to download the polygon file with those edits.
Rebuild your edited files using GDI Builder.
