do you support bounds in engine ? I want to make a human animation and only ipo is not ok...

SIO2 support full skeleton and dynamic action export through the MD5 file format, check tutorial18 for more info.

hello

i tried exporting the custom properties of an object, with no sucess (under object -> custom properties -> add)

i just use the default cube scene, everything gets exported, except that there are no custom properties in the object (when i look at the file for the object)

2.56 r34076

i also looked at the pdf

Custom Properties
SIO2 have a built-in system to allow you to add and parse your own custom properties, to add a new
property to an Object, Lamp or Camera simply go to their Custom Properties panel and click the Add
button, theses values will then be exported and you retrieve them using the SIO2 custom parser callback
functionalities (see the SIO2_SDK for more information).

Ok here's the fix:

Line 259
for item in obj.data.items():

change for:

for item in obj.items():

ps: This fix will be integrated in the next exporter revision (1.0.3).

I seem to have a problem with the SIO2 2.56 Blender exporter:

1) I take the default blender Cube
2) Convert quad to tris manually
3) Export to Scene.sio2 (with or without normals)
4) Only half of the triangles on each face are visible

When using the old blender exporter, I don't get this issue?

[sio2interactive]

I think the problem is lying somewhere else... Make sure that you are linking the .sio2 that have been created/updated to your project. In addition, make sure that before you export you first select an object then push A to select everything. There's a small bug with the context in 2.56a which can cause unexpected behavior of the bpy.ops mesh functions. This bug have already been reported, and will probably be fixed next release.

Hi,

You were right. I WAS doing something wrong. I must have been in edit mode or something when exporting. Anyhow, it fixed itself now. However, I've come up with a new problem. I start with a simple Cube object in Blender which I duplicate using Soft Copies.

Now, in the iPhone simulator, all triangles that are very close to the bottom of the screen disappear and flicker on and off while I'm moving around. This does not happen when I export my cube from the old Blender, just with the new 2.56a...

Any ideas?

[sio2interactive]

Sounds like a clipping problem, compare the radius value exported from Blender v2.49b and 2.56a lemme know if there's a difference.

[esperdiv]

What radius should I compare (of which object)?

Thanks!
