Re: How would I go about programming my own exporter?
Collada export exists now. Collada import is coming.
The majority of our users are not here because they are happily using AC3D . And, as Mossie says, only a small number of users are programmers. If you want to look at what is involved in making plugins for import/export etc., look at www.supercoldmilk.com - it's an excellent resource. |

Just a note here you can also use Milkshape to export to other file formats I've had good luck with it and its quick.

Re: How would I go about programming my own exporter?
Do you know if UV texture assignments go with the exports?
I'm currently using the stock Collada exporter, and the textures are NOT showing up after I import the .dae file into Blender 2.5 alpha. Not sure if it's AC3D's exporter, Blender 2.5 or the specific version of Collada that's the culprit.

I have been able to get the textures with the export into Unity game engine without trouble, however you need to have the textures in the same folder as the model.

Re: How would I go about programming my own exporter?
I'll try that in my workflow... however, my end game system has the textures and models in different folders... but then again, that's different than the needs of the 3D program I'm importing into...
Thanks for the idea.

Re: How would I go about programming my own exporter?
I posted this sample exporter plug-in a while ago, which you're free to use as a skeleton for your own.
