Re: [Bf-committers] The future of FBX and/or other formats in Blender

Would there be anyone against using the pixar USD format: http://graphics.pixar.com/usd/ After looking at it, it seems pretty robust, the format is open like what was said previously and best of all it looks like it can fit right on top of blender's in my opinion. So will this list continue to

Re: [Bf-committers] The future of FBX and/or other formats in Blender

Hi William, Your message arrived loud and clear! Of course we stick to keeping FBX IO to work, the discussion is mostly about: - How to keep it maintained well, should we limit the scope a bit (design issue) - Who could be found to work on it (we have a dev fund to support that) What you (and

Re: [Bf-committers] The future of FBX and/or other formats in Blender

It would be a great start for sure, but other engines and clients/studios would have to follow suit too for the move to be successful. The problem is that the entire games industry is using FBX as the de facto interchange format, so even if we do get flawless Collada support for all 3 major

Re: [Bf-committers] The future of FBX and/or other formats in Blender

Hi all, Please let's end the thread now. This list is to help getting Blender developed, not to agree on everything in detail. Both FBX and COLLADA are being supported in Blender, nobody suggests to drop this. We are only interested in getting the best IO possible. We'll check on Juan's

Re: [Bf-committers] The future of FBX and/or other formats in Blender

I love you guys. I've spent 8 years invested in Blender with my company. I fight so hard as an advocate, all interns come to me with Maya/Max training and I make them learn Blender. I'm constantly on job sites and 99% of the time there I'm the only employer in the whole of the UK looking for

Hi. Seems i used c++0 feature which does not exist in your compiler. Will commit a fix soon (in the middle of other change atm, so wouldn't happen immediately). On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at 6:25 PM, Yousef Harfoush wrote: > git 4b42a4908633989969f1f266c36c9cbca9fd9a99 > > error: >

Re: [Bf-committers] The future of FBX and/or other formats in Blender

Hi all, Sorry for all the commotion, I really did not expect that when writing the original mail! I needed to vent some frustration about FBX, but I had no intention of dropping support. I’m still maintaining current FBX add-on, and will keep doing this. Further more, I’m obviously available

Re: [Bf-committers] The future of FBX and/or other formats in Blender

@Brian That's definitely good news, I am sure there are more devs like you out there who could help get this done. I looked tat the opengl format but like @Juan said it's pretty opengl specific so would be pretty useless for things outside of opengl world. Does Ton or Campbell or anyone else have

Install script ? Simply remove the filter for distutils in the install patterns, python is ad hoc featurecomplete after c being compiled, just blender install does not take it over ;) Jens Am 12.02.2016 um 22:16 schrieb Xavier Thomas: > Hi, > > +1 for this on my side. It would simplify greatly

Re: [Bf-committers] Proposal: include Python's distutils

Hi, +1 for this on my side. It would simplify greatly distributing some of the add-on I make to my clients by including a small install script. Here falling back to system python works even with minor version number mismatch. Maybe you suffer from a 32/64bit mismatch problem, you absolutely
