ba-GUI-nnertool is a homebrew prgoram for customizing 2D/3D banner and icon/SMDH. It was originally a simple tool that allows you to extract banner.bnr from any decrypted CIA, more features were later added and it is now more like a CIA editor/builder.

FAQ

You can use 3D Studio Max to create your .OBJ file. Then import it as a new CGFX file in EveryFileExplorer.
Choose .bcmdl/.cgfx (it's the same) to save the result and built a new banner.bnr.
Q. How to I edit the Icon text?
It is the description text wihch you can change in the Icon tab of ba-GUI-nnertool (the text is in the icon.icn).
You may need to delete the cache afterwards for the edited texts to display.
