Indigo Exporter for 0.7t5 - beta release

[Phoenix]

There are a few things I noticed:

When I export from C4D my scene always is named "justsomerandomcrap.xml" whether if I add the extension ".xml" to my chosen name or not. But the .3ds and .obj files get the right names.

The menue point "Info..." in the Indigo Exporter plugins folder in C4D shows nothing.

I tried both of these with the C4D releases R9.6 and R10.

And, by the way, why does the main plugin file still has the name of the cinema4dsdk and is not changed to something own like "IndigoExporter.cdl" or something similar?


But non the less, thank you very much for all your work! )

i have the same problem with r10 - c4d crashes when i try to export -
example scene works tho - really confusing.

btw: hello jackei!

[jackei]

hy manitwo...yes i know. it's a long time since i wrote something in this forum=)

Probably you've messed something up in the indigo render tags or the objects you applied them too. In my case I had something as plane instead of a polygon object.

@fused: Great work so far, and I like the idea with the default material. At least something

I want to sorry you guys, because i promised last week, that i'll try to write some tutorial for this exporter...but i was hardworking in my job and i had no time for this... well, Mr.Fused i'm still surprised that you still can find time for work with exporter. Take my respect for you.

edit: now i think i know what's the problem. the exporter doesn't export the <mesh> tags in the xml. only for my meshlight. when i use a indigo-objekt tag the exporter crashes:(

[manitwo]

right - same over here. (r10)
you succeed in isolating the problem

[WLAD]

hi jackei,
get you always this wrrong xml export?
for me the exporter works well.


WLAD

[jackei]

yes always. the exporter doesn't work well with c4d r10.

[fused]

there will be an update soon. it will have proper error handling

sry i was pretty lazy.

and maybe ill try to compile with r10 sdk.

[fused]

@jackei:

i think your problem can be sloved when you assign a cinema material to every object that has a object tag.

i implemented a default material for objects without a material.

new version coming soon (maybe tomorrow, or even today if i can go home before afternoon)

jackei try to export this file
