If you want to check it out you can get it here:
mr_no_blender263_AC3D_04052012.zip
That's what I use for my work.


OK thanks mr_no ! Your import don't work here, but your export work fine !

Finally : TheTom import script
: mr_no expot script

Now I can continue to model :)

You know what ? ...... I m happy :)

Hey helijah, please take a screenshots of error you get with my import script. Is it the texture path?
I tested a lot of models and all work, even yours.

Well... There's one issue with "texrep ". I just found and fixed it when importing b105. If you ever use texrep the above exporter with not write decimal point values. No one actually uses texrep that's why I didn't notice that. :P

The only thing I can think of is that you didn't install it right. Try a fresh installation of the script. :shock:

AAARRGGH oops sorry. I'm going too fast. Effectively to avoid interference between your import and import TheTom, I erase your import (keeping only export). Sorry: (

So, I erased everything and put everything back properly. And actually your import / export work fine, both.

Again sorry for this frightens. Shame on me !

Fantastic I can continue my Tu 134 :)

just a small fix for export part.. Materials were not well exported (each face in a mesh could have its own material)

Re: Blender 2.6 AC3D Importer & Exporter

Postby TheTom » Tue Jun 12, 2012 6:12 pm

I just did a quick check and I think the other plugin (https://github.com/majic79/Blender-AC3D.git) shouldn't suffer from this problem.

Maybe we should start comparing the features and bugs of both versions and also try to merge them. I don't like the current state of having two plugins supposed to do actually the same thing...

Tigran wrote in Tue Jun 12, 2012 4:19 pm:just a small fix for export part.. Materials were not well exported (each face in a mesh could have its own material)

I intentionally left this out because I always use one material per object. In FG It's very rare that someone uses more than one. In FG most airplane models have only a few materials. Also the importing is easier.

The most important: You can only have one texture per object in AC3D format even if you used many materials!!!
So why have many materials when you used the same texture? This will complicate things for you.
Also I recommend" one object -one material" to make UV mapping easier.

But in the end you do as you like.

The importer will have to be adjusted too, because it assumes "one object-one material".
I'll do this later.

When Blender 2.63 came out we were waiting for you to update your script but you were nowhere to be found. I had to jump in. Also you script constantly suffered with problems like material duplicates and smoothing errors that I didn't like.

My script is posted only in this thread so you can see how some problems are solved and so modeller don't stop their work. You should look at this script and fix the issues your script has, including compatibility with Blender 2.63.

Are there any open problems with 2.63 exporting? I'm using it without any problems with a quite complex objects using uv mapped textures and ngons.

The last time I used your script the importer didn't work. I don't know how it is today. The exporter may work now, but the script isn't complete if the importer doesn't work.

Then please try it again. I normally don't use it myself, but I just did a quick import which didn't show any obvious problems...

Hi, I was using this script for other purposes (to export a 3d scene for speed dreams racing simulator)
Initially I had a scene with some trees with no texture and using two materials (one of green color another of brown)
So I've just modified the scripts for my needs and put it back here if someone else need it one day...

Regards,
Tigran

Tigran, that is something completely different. Thank you for pointing out the bug.

TheTom, try importing cessna c172p. You'll see broken surface left on the panel. Also from the original 39 materials in the .ac file the imported model has over 50 materials.
Also your exporter exports ngons as triangles not as original ngons. The conversion ngons to triangles isn't longer needed since Blender 2.63 supports ngons. You can also import and export original ngons in my script.
