XAML Exporter for Blender

New Post: UV-mapping texture problem

bergendahl — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 07:11:51 GMT

In my Blender scene I have a textured brick wall. I have created UV mapping in the UV editor. Since it is i brick wall I have scaled the UVs to achieve a repeated brick texturing. In blender everything looks great but when I export the scene to xaml, the repeat pattern is lost. This is very frustrating and I have no idea how to solve the problem. I would be really grateful for some help.

New Post: Texture export

Hi
I'm in need for some help exporting image textures from Blender to XAML using the XAML Exporter?
I have a 3D scene with a number of image textured 3D-objects. When exporting the scene to xaml, no texture information is included in the target xaml file. What do I have to do to include texture information and image file references?

Sorry for the delay, Actually I didin't see there had some answers to my notification. Please, do not hesitate to post comments directly on my blog, even if it is a french one, I am not against english comments at all and I will be faster to reply :-)

Hi schwarzie2478,

maybe I should handle English on my blog, at least for this post, I will think about it I promise :-)

At the moment, here are the missing features that are in my roadmap:

- UV mapping exportation

- more options (verbose, namespace in root node etc...)

I have not much time, but I will try to publish as quickly as possible a new version including these features (at least uv mapping) and some minor bug fixes that have been discovered recently.

Hi budi84,

I have also thought about exporting animation, indeed blender IPOs can match with some WPF mechanisms and this feature would be very exciting and handy. But honestly I have not planned to do it for now and I don't think that I will have the time for that. However, even if the architecture of this small peace of code is not as good as what I expected (mostly because it is my first blender script :-)), I took time to add lot of comments and I think that the code is clear enough to be understandable by a person who never developed on it, so do not hesitate if you want to fulfill it with your own features, I will be honored.

Charles, I really appreciate that you are coding a new Blender xaml exporter. I have a suggestion why don't you also include animation to be exported to xaml, too. Well at least you could put it on your roadmap. Thanks anyway, I'm going to test it.

Just tested the version from your blog with Blender 2.59 for the default scene and it works.

Can you say what is still missing, Google Translate and french did not work very well. :-)

No problems so far, tnx for this

Commented Issue: port to blender 2.5 [13778]

ModiCharly — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 13:36:43 GMT

The current version of the exporter script does not run in blender 2.5. It need be ported to the new python 3.1 syntax and use the new blender APIs.

I have tried the following directory with the script file but i cannot see it working untill now

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender

When I try to explicitly enable the addone I cannot see the addon in the list, furthremore the install addon dont work.

I have also tried it with the blender 2.49, it gives the error on the command line and says:

line 75, in <module>

from StringIO import StringIO

ImportError: No module named StringIO

I have tried it on a win7-64.

@Marktoth: you simply have to drop the file into the addons folder, then you need to explicitly enable the addon from the User Settings.

abruss has uploaded a patch.

Description:
Here's a close to complete port fo the script for Blender 2.5. UV textures have been commented out right now. Also I think some export options could be added. Those items aside, the script seems to work pretty well under Blender 2.5.
