Beta 2.2 RC1: Blender 2.55 Export Script testing thread
Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2010 12:38 pm
Hi,
Here is the blender 2.55 exporter python script for beta 2.2 RC1, for testing:
Limited to Blender 2.55 (See first thread for blender 2.49 version)
For Windows only (linux and mac will follow as soon as we get something more stable)
To install and use on Windows put the script in the appropriate script folder Blender 2.55 installation folder\2.55\scripts\io
Last changes since first version :
17/10/2010 :
Alpha 2.2.01 released for Blender 2.54
This is an alpha version, so expect several issues
Still a lot of work, tries after tries, APIs changes after APIs changes the code became really messy. So I'll have to reorganize it a bit before proceeding and I need your first impression before adding other functionalities.
I would like to thank Livuxman for providing some good advises
What should work
-----------------
Export only
Export and render still image
Export and render animation
For now it only exports meshes (didn't tested with other objects)
Unit size should be taken into consideration
Select and export camera
Select and export sun
Define and export resolution
Define and export lens aperture
Define and export focal depth
Camera motion (hope so)
What doesn't work (for sure)
----------------------------
Parameters are not saved
Select samples drop down (should be entered manually)
Some issues with selecting paths, should be corrected manually
GPU device to use (well I didn't tested it)
Probably other issues, just post the problems you may find
29/12/2010
Alpha 2.2.02 released for Blender 2.55
Mirror property were used to set the specular shader instead of transparency
Roughness map exported based on hardness mapping
Several fixes in material conversion
Other objects types are now exported (curve, text, meta, ...)
Check if camera is valid and selected when export camera is activated
Check if sun is valid and selected when export sun is activated
Set the "samples per image" according to the "presets samples per image" dropbox selection
Take all the advanced options into consideration for obj exporting
Fix issue with material assignment for curve and text objects
Now it should export duplicates as well as object and group particules
Still many things to do ...
What doesn't work (for sure)
----------------------------
Some issues with selecting paths, should be corrected manually
GPU device to use (well I didn't tested it)
Probably other issues, just post the problems you may find
Screen Shot:
Please keep all discussion regarding this script in this thread.
Thanks,
Enrico
