Hmm... This makes me a bit worried... I thought I had my future-proof gear on by targeting the 2.25-version... Uck. Ack. Oh, will this pain ever go away!?

That's pretty strange :roll: ... Anyways, if you would send me your edited version, once you've got it running, I'd appreciate it. Maybe that will be more cross-platform. My dev-box is Win2K, standard Python 2.0 and the Ex.NaN Blender Publisher 2.25 Foundation licence (downloaded from this site). An...

I've just released a strange little script that turns walk cycle animation into something... I dunno... easier to do maybe. Check it out here: http://home.bip.net/millfield If you think you've seen this post somewhere else, you're right. The original post can be found at http://www.elysiun.com/forum...

Without having thought it through properly... but why not just make your own wrapper class for the objects? Then add whatever data members you wish to have.

It may make more sense to import the data to use as a bumpmap instead of trying to make a mesh with it. Ack! No way, José! Making a bumpmap from that would destroy the whole idea. Until the day Blender has true displacement, it's the mesh way or no way at all. Bumpmaps are only useful for very deli...

1) Well, you can write them somewhere else of course, but when the time comes for execution, you'd have to run it from within Blender. At least if you want to use the Blender API (pretty likely, for obvious reasons). 2) Hmm... Blender runs stand-alone, but I assume you meant the scripts, and, well s...

I somehow had a feeling along those lines, yes...

That would be Green trying to cram a C++version of his Blenderman script into the source for native, built-in RIB-writing. Will probably be nice.

Looks OK. Could be pretty cool having support for that. I'm in the middle of another project right now, but I'll definately look into it later on. Edit: The only problem might be the 64K vertex limit for Blender objects. I have a feeling that stuff like this may end up incredibly huge if you want so...

1) Yes. 64K verts per object
2) I don't know
3) Have no idea

Well, assuming that you really find heightmapping useful, then this is an excellent suggestion. The idea of not having a lot of useless verts sounds very pleasing.

That wouldn't be harder than any other import... Do you know somewhere one could get hold of the file format specs and some example files?

Just recently we've been told that the fileformat is essentially a form of memorydump, and there is currently no way to turn it into a more understandable format. Your best bet is to use a python script to dump the internals to a fairly readable ASCII-file using eeshlo's BF2PY script, which you can ...

Thanks a lot, Kibsey! The old width really bothered me while browsing from work where our overambitious admin has locked the screen resolution to 800x600... Gotta sniff that password some day....

To keep up with the general competition from the big guys - wouldn't it be better to simply improve and extend the capabilities that are already implemented in our beloved app? It seems to me that a total remake (which in fact is nothing else than a completely different application that has absolute...
