Blender 2.37 has just been released:
http://www.blender3d.org/
New features & fixes:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Blender_2_37.496.0.html
Most relevant changes for fgfs work:
- manipulators (widgets in the 3D space for scaling, rotation, translation)
- new ac3d importer/exporter
AC3D-EXPORT
===========
- it's much faster now (but you'll only see that on big scenes)
- one doesn't have to select from a popup everytime one exports to an
AC3D file ...
- but only *selected* objects are saved now, which is quite a pain.
It means that you have first to make all layers active, then press
AKEY,AKEY, then save, and then restore your original setup (i.e.
deselect all layers/objects that you don't want active for further
work). Will probably get fixed in 2.38.
+++
Attached is a patch that adds the possibility to export (1) "all",
(2) only selected objects, or to (3) ask every time (like in older versions).
+++
- you can now choose which objects *not* to export, by simply prepending
# (as in "commented out") or ! (as in "not") to the object name.
That's very useful for helper objects that shouldn't end up in the
exported model. (And a good argument for selecting "all" (see last point).
- exports objects with more than one material assigned. This isn't
supported by the AC3D spec, but the exporter auto-splits these objects
into one object per material. This can be prevented by prepending
= ("keep as-is") or $ ("expensive, don't touch") to the object name.
- does automatically turn parented objects into AC3D's OBJECT_GROUP,
(whereas it exported them flattened before)
- exports "crease" in AC3D 4 mode
- allows to select a texture base dir (that is best kept empty, because
it's prepended to all texture paths), and an export path
- changes to the exporter properties are now saved in
~/.blender/scripts/bpydata/config/. To make changes you open a
"Scripts Window" and select "Scripts"->"System"->"Scripts Config Editor"->
"Export"->"AC3D".
- there you can also instruct Blender not to ask before overwriting
(see the "General" section)
