Blender + Animation

Whats My Face(Posted 2010) [#1]
I have found a really good model, which I animated ... poorly. I did this all in Blender, but when I went to export it to the .x format (I haven't gotten it to export to the other ones) the animation won't export. Additionally, the texture stopped exporting at this point. Has anybody else had this problem. Is it Blitz3D's fault or Blender's?

Neither's fault.

Blender's .x model export is for DX8 while Blitz3D is old school DX7 only, it's also very difficult to use as the model and animation need to be done in a particular way.

Use the .b3d exporter.

I Googled blender .b3d exporter but didn't find anything. The one site that kept popping up (something to the effect of www.gandadlf.com) isn't in existence any more.

I know I have that exporter at home (at work now), so if you don't have it by the time I get there (5-6 hours from now... and if I don't forget ;) ) I'll post it here for you.

Alrighty, here goes.

From what I can see on teh intarwebs, the latest version of this exporter was v2.05, but the latest I seem to have is v2.04 - hopefully it'll do until the latest becomes available again (ie until www.gandaldf.com comes back).

How do you add this exporter to Blender?

Thanks,
Eric

Yeah really. :O I downloaded that immediately, even though I'm nowhere near using Blender as of yet. XD When the day comes that I DO use it, I don't want to regret missing the opportunity. :p

Well, I sure won't use it because I don't like that Blender thing... but I wanted to see the script code =P
It looks quite cluttered.
GandalDF must've had a lot of trouble making the code work ;(
