In reply to Daniel_L.

I guess on the public github repo:
https://github.com/Marginal/XPlane2Blender

I haven’t pushed new code to the v10scenery branch in a while – what Jonathan has is newer than what we shipped 10.0 with but we’ve put in bug fixes, etc. I’ll try to push an update and generally get in sync.

Where can we get the last version of the scripts for Blender 2.49 ?

Probably not. My expectation for how you’d ‘seed’ geometry off Plane-Maker is:
– Export an OBJ from Plane-Maker.
– Import the OBJ into Blender.

It is _not_ the goal of the new Blender import/export script to be a direct editor of .acf files!

In reply to Ben Supnik. I am wondering if the importer will ever have the import .wpn/.acf again?

In reply to Hugo Silverio. Someday, yes, in the next major revision of the OBJ file format. (The two major things I'm looking at for OBJ++ are vertex animation with blended weights and multiple UV maps.)

Hello Ben!

Do you guys plan on having VERTEX animation? for pilots, flags, anything that should be a single mesh and not broken parts.

In reply to joomie. No - the importer isn't under source control yet.

Hi,

very interesting article.
Does the current code for the Blender plugin in the branch v3-3 already include
some importer to load .obj files into Blender? If not, any idea when one will see that?

Many thanks,
joomie

In reply to Luke.

Right – it’s on a topic branch while in development. The issues are also in public track tickets and the design docs are mostly in the wiki. (We have one in a google doc temporarily so we can edit it sanely but it’ll go back to GIT shortly if Ondrej hasn’t already synced it.)
