Pablo,
This is great news, a blender exporter would be great, but this won't
require installing Cable Beach/Taiga at all will it? Will this work with
just the plain OpenSim and OpenSim + ModRex?
Is there any way to make this Blender2Rex exporter 100% compatible with just
plain vanilla OpenSim and/or OpenSim + ModRex?
It would be really nice to use this Blender2Rex exporter, but not everyone
wants to use Cable Beach / Taiga, and some people prefer just the standard
vanilla OpenSim + ModRex. Will this be compatible with just plain OpenSim +
ModRex?
Is there anyway that this can be made so that it's compatible with plain
OpenSim or OpenSim + ModRex (without any Taiga dependencies?)
Also will this "Blender Exporter" work with the latest OpenSim 0.7RC2?
Thank-you
Mark
