Blender Egg Exporter Plugin

Hello.
To challenge myself, and to gradually make my pipeline easier, I decided to try writing a egg exporter plugin for blender.

Right now it at most supports textured static geometry, but unapplied transforms (in blender) are ignored. I’m hoping to add more features eventually, but I don’t know If I’ll get opportunities to work on it that often, however.

The plugin and instructions for instalation can be found here:

That looks like a nice start–well done! :slight_smile:

Hello All! Today I’m happy to announce the second version of this exporter!

It’s not anything TOO exciting, like animation or tagging.
Rather, this update started as an attempt to fix the known-about issue with translations not being reflected on the exported models. However, I quickly found that I had massively underestimated the scale of the issue! (See what I did there?)


Turns out unapplied transformations can really stack up! especially when scale and rotation are involved.

but now we now have a nice fully transformed model!

Also, I added a checkbox for whether you only want to export objects that are currently selected (and their children.) That was a pretty big omission, so I’m glad to get that done. Unfortunately children of selected objects will still export, even if they themselves are not selected.

The latest release is available on the github!

P.S.
You could probably tell from the model I used for testing, but I’m gearing up to work on animation exports! But… that might have to wait until I’m back from my study abroad.

This looks to be a good bug-fix release, I do think! :slight_smile:

And enjoy your study abroad! I hope that it goes well, and is an excellent experience for you! :slight_smile:
