Blender Importer

Added by NeoSpark314 over 6 years ago

I'm working on a Blender import script for Ryzom data assets. The goal is to be able to import the (already exported) data files like .shape, .skel, .anim, ... in a batch-process into a usable Blender scene. It is still in a very early stage but can import some .shape files with textures so it might already be useful to somebody. The script can be found at [[https://github.com/NeoSpark314/blenderNel3dImport]].

Feedback is welcome. I'm currently working on .anim import but haven't yet figured out the correct coordinate system for the transform matrices.

Wow, this is pretty cool stuff!

Any chance you'd be interested in writing code to go the other way too? Being able to export from Blender to NeL/Ryzom would be huge! (=

Thanks,

HI ! Very good news, I search for this type of importer (/exporter ? :)) for long month.

For information I have found one importer/exporter Max scene into blender (for the max ryzom assets), but Max is needed. If you're interested to this one here it is :
http://www.rendering3d.net/
into download section, the first one script.

I think your script is better NeoSpark314, but I have a problem to install it. I have the good version of blender (2.62), and I use the normal script installation addons in user preference but nothing happen.
The script don't appear in the list, and so I can't activate it

Have you got idea ?

(I use Seven for the moment, yes I know...)

You need to copy the file 'import_nel3d.py' into your Blender script add-on directory (blender/2.62/scripts/addons); then it should be available in the user preferences to activate. I have not yet tested/implemented the user preferences script installation.

Thank you for answer, but I've forgot to tell, I have tried this way you also explain in your "readme", and it's not work too. the script don't appear in the list.

My apologies, I found my mistake, it was a bad save of the python file from the web site... So It's work great !!!
