RE: [Soya-user] from blender to cal3D polygons problem

[Joseph Montanez]

That usally means you have a non manafold mesh. Meahing Theres more then 2 
faces per edge or an unused vertex. In blender an edge counts as a face, so 
if have and lose edges then remove then. You can make a simple script todo 
that, just remove any face that has a length of 2 vertices only.

Hello,

When I use "blender2cal3d_2.py" I have noticed some problems with some 
models that have holes or complex shapes imported from other modelers. I 
have noticed too that  when some blender tools are used, like "make 
edge/face" or when filling a hole, I can't export anymore.
I have messages such :

"Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<string>", line 1650, in bevent
 File "<string>", line 1230, in export
IndexError: list index out of range"

I can't find a way to "clean" my shapes in such case, and I need to rebuild 
the objects. Do you know a function in blender  or a tool to transform 
those polygonal objects,  in order to be usable in cal3D and soya  ?

I have red that the "balazar" demo model was available in blender file 
format . But it seems to be only available  in the cvs oomadness project, 
who appears to be offline now.  Could someone indicate me where I can 
obtain this model, or send me this model?  I have built a simple character 
that works with soya in place of "Balazar", but I need to know more about 
what's possible and what's not, in term of modeling and rigging, and this 
model could be helpfull.

I have built a little world with the soya demos available. I find soya  
very promising and  more simpler to use than java3d or other  more or less 
immature API.
