Updated VRML exporter for Blender

#1

I wrote a new version of the VRML exporter with a lot of enhancements.

See changes here:
http://www.neeneenee.de/blender/x3d/changes.txt

Download here:
http://www.neeneenee.de/blender/x3d/vrml97_export150.py.txt

On the next step i will porting this to an X3D exporter and writing help pages about ‘Creating Web3D-Content (VRML/ X3D) using Blender’.

Meanwhile i’m happy getting feedback and descriptions about bugs on this thread.

For the next version folloing features aimed:

  • support for video texture if the image textur has the extension mov, ram, qt, avi, divx, mpg, mpg4 etc.
  • Multitexture for X3D
  • TextureTransform using face modes Tile and the repeat option on textures
  • export of animationen using keys of the IPO
  • DEF and USE for meshes
  • creating group nodes using make parent

THX!

Maybe a missage in Blender Links & Resources thread would be good.

Just another update, found a bug using world textures as textures in the background node.

Checked out that exporting vertex color worked bad.
So will change that and after that it seems really final now.

Some optimisation and a small but amazing update:
DEF and USE for meshes when creating Duplicate Linked Alt+D!!!
This will fasten up exporting and lightweight your scene too:
