Seen as there is now a stable release of blender which is version 2.57 i figured i’d update my export script again just to make sure its working still. You can download the latest version here folks: Click here to download
Thanks, I’ve emailed you back a fixed version. I’m going to run a few more tests and then I’ll release an update on my blog for others to have as well.
Incase anyone is wondering the problem is when you have multiple textures on your model it won’t export the material properly.
no problem glad i could help.
i’d love to see what your working on when its complete
Any update on this? This would be very useful to me but at the moment the script seems to be dying just as it starts to stop just after it writes the constructor to the file.
//Alternativa3D Class Export For Blender 2.57 and above //Plugin Author: Invisible Man, http://www.davidejones.com package { import alternativa.engine3d.objects.Mesh; import alternativa.engine3d.materials.FillMaterial; import alternativa.engine3d.materials.TextureMaterial; import alternativa.engine3d.core.Vertex; import AS3.vec.Vector; import flash.display.Bitmap; public class lowman_shoes extends Mesh { =============
That’s where it dies.
Ah sorry yes i do have a slightly updated version which corrected some problems that the previous user mentioned.
I’m trying to update this and re do my website so i’ve been a little slow with things lately.
I’ll try post an update shortly.
Hi David .. try doing a test with a simple geometric figure. When you export the file. AS apparently is okay, the problem happens when you add to the container Alternativa3D. You use the following code:
var bx: mybox mybox = new (); bx.calculateNormals (true); bx.calculateBounds (); container.addChild (bx);
But as it happens in version 7, the method calculateNormals () does not exist. So I put:
var bx: mybox mybox = new (); bx.calculateBounds (); container.addChild (bx);
But in this case adds nothing to the container, then I fail to see anything, but how big you assign the object. What would be the correct way to add it. Thanks to Excellent Your Job
Ready, just had to use the following code:
amen.calculateFacesNormals (true);
Thank you very much for your great work, I’ll be following it! @JoseAlejandroRR
Hi Jose , thanks for the comment yes you are right you do have to use the calculateFacesNormals, sorry if i have missed this out in any instructions.
You can follow my latest version of the addon here http://davidejones.com/blog/alternativa3d/blender-alternativa-addon/
Where i have moved it to google code.
Perhaps i should make the amen.calculateFacesNormals (true); generated as part of the class rather than when you are adding it to the container. This would make more sense.
I’m going to be updating the addon soon for version 8 so keep an eye out for that!
Yes, it makes sense, so the package would take care of all the code parsing object itself.
What occurred to me is to see if I can do something similar to your script, but working with Google SketchUp API in Ruby programming, would be another great tool
Good friend David .. Already started to develop the basic plugin. So far I can create and export figures to get a code similar to yours (I hope you do not mind), adding the color applied to the faces. I continue to expand to make optimum.
By the way, I have found the problem with your plugin, when is a very complex figure does not write the whole class .. SketchUp something happens and I know why. If you want to talk can contact me @JoseAlejandroRR or my email, my excellent complement knowledge. Thanks!
