Hi all!

after 1 year I return to work with blender and Indigo and immediatly I found a prob.

I've to create a sphere... I've create an icoSphere and renamed it in xyz.sphere.

when I export it with Blendigo I have something like this :

<mesh>
<name>xyz.sphere</name>
<normal_smoothing>true</normal_smoothing>
<embedded>
<expose_uv_set>
<index>0</index>
<name>uv</name>
</expose_uv_set>
<vertex pos="0.361804 -0.587779 -0.723612" ...

when I expected <sphere>!!!

What I've missed?

you've missed that the whole inner-life of blendigo was rewritten by me. Therefore some things dont work so as early. But it's on my TODO list.

but in this case... how to render a perfect sphere?

UVsphere->smooth->Subsurf:2 is "perfect" enough

....and if you want to optimize the result even further (wont be much of a visual difference, though... biggest change will be on the poles

), add a cast modifier with spherify at 1

WILCO!

but just a question, using:

<mesh>
<name>xyz.sphere</name>
<normal_smoothing>true</nor....

instead of <sphere>....

isn't slowly and more complex to render?... If I've a lot of spheres in my schene Blender should be slowed too... or not?

more complex to render, yes....
you could also edit your scene file, after export

It's not that hard. you only need the radius and the coordinates

Well... not always. If you add a subsurf modifier, don't forget to change the scale for the Z axis so it matches X and Y. If you don't, your sphere will be oblong.
