Beta 2.54 Model exporter.....?

#1

Is it still not possible to export models in Beta 2.54? If that is the case I might have to download the old 2.49 version again… :frowning:

I want to export to obj files but It’s not working for me…

#2

Yeah, I tried to use the .obj but it doesn’t actually write the file. Had to append the object to the scene in 2.49 and export to .obj from there.

#3

Tried the official blender 2.54 and it did not work. Though I’ve exported as .obj with the build in the link below and imported it to Sculptris and it worked fine.

anyway check http://www.graphicall.org/builds/ every now and then if you want the latest betas and experimental builds of Blender.

obj exporter was broken when they released 2.54. you can grab some latest build in graphicall or you can download the fixed script and copy it to your script folder.

here’s the info on blendernation

I downloaded the fixed script but I still get a “Syntax error” “syntax invalid”, it actually thinks of the exporter as exporting a blend file. Weird that…
Does it matter where the location of the file is? I have the script setting in “Roamin” under appdata of the user…?

thanks for the help btw. :slight_smile:

#6

the scripts for obj export/import should go in ‘%APPDATA%\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.54\scripts\op\io_scene_obj’ directory. i’ve just tested the obj exporter and is working nice in the latest build (i’m on linux and i build from source), maybe you could download some latest svn build from Graphicall , there’s been a lot of bug fixed since beta 2.54.

#7

I actually put it in the “appdata” section as I am on windows 64 too. ok I am gonna go check up the latest build when I get the time, really appreciate the help Paulo. :beer:

#8

Rather than going back to 2.49, the 2.53 exporter works fine.

#9

Yea I remember, still haven’t had time to update the build. I wouldn’t wanna go back to the 2.49 version; that would be a last resort method I guess. Otherwise I am gonna wait for the next build…
Glad that I could make the yafaray to work with the build that I am using, which btw could interfer with the latest build… hmm.

a few hours before i see this topic i noticed the same problem , and fixed it by downloading the latest optimized build
