Try the latest version that SmartDen just recently posted. I tried it last night and it seems to be working now.
Ok, it works now. But it didn't work for me last night even if I upgraded to the very latest version of Blendigo...
For some reason I had to recreate the test scene from scratch in Blender to make it work right.

It's possible that the issue was related to Blender 2.46 RC1 because last night I upgraded to Blender 2.46 RC3 and now in the morning I recreated the test scene in RC3 and everything works just fine.

So happy! :D
Thanks SmartDen and 5OnIt! :wink:

Hi!
Is there any further word on this animation issue being fixed??

Wanted to try my first animation test overnight, and was met with a nasty bug :(

Can't complain though, seeing as it's volunteer run ;)

But I thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks! :D

Hi !
I am new to this forum.
So first I'd like to be polite and thank all the guys behind Indigo and its exporters ! Thanks a lot for all the nice work you've done ! I cannot stress enough how much respect i have for you developpers...

Now to the topic:
I've had a go and looked at the code of the exporter concerning the bug mentionned in the previous post.
I did manage to pass the first hurdle and correct this AttributeError problem...only to run into another problem: global name "exportMeshs" is undefined.

In fact, this function is "commented" (how do you say that?), so it kind of doesn't exists actively. I therefore suspect that the mainteners of this script are planning a replacement for it or will adapt the anim section to the existing functions for the non-anim sections... Patience !

I don't know if it is my fault or rather Indigo or Blendigo, but if I apply the modifier Array with 6 copies I can not see more than three example of the middle row of lights.
Thank you
Luca. ;)

thats cuz youre probably using a copied object with the array modifier so its referencing the first copy which probably has an array modifier with only 3 lights or whatever. you gotta duplicate it. a bit of a bitch, especially when youre changing the arrayed object a lot or tweaking it, but it applies the modifiers when exporting and since that same object is referenced again, you cant have multiple arrays for the same object. follow?

usually best to do individual instances then instead of arrays in that case.

itd be cool if the exporter could pick up the array modifier and instead of applying it, get its translation/rotation/offset info and make instances like the array actually does.

i hope you get what im saying....

Tnx

Ok Stomp i try immediately and you are right now it works fine!!!
Tnx again... :D

Feature request

Feature request: Multiple Camera Settings support.

Let me explain what I think would be a great feature.
Often in Blender I have more than one camera in the same scene or in different scenes in the same blend file so each scene has its own camera and render settings.
But in Blendigo you can only set parameters for one camera at a time, the current one, so every time I change the current camera I need to adjust the Blendigo camera settings.
I think a system to assign different settings to different cameras, like in the Materials gui, maybe with a drop-down menu, could be very useful.
What do you think? Is it difficult to implement?

Ciao

Hey,

I noticed a bug - when you have more than one "external" material defined, only the first include reference is exported to the .igs file.

Next, if you attempt to export the scene again, any external material references aren't exported - the only way is to save the blend and simply reopen it.

I can provide a .blend to reproduce this problem if you'd like :)
