Ugh..arghvark what does that tutorial have to do with anything about blender. I am exporting in blender. It uses python scripts. I have 3ds, obj, md3 scripts i just keep getting errors.

look on the blender homepage. somewhere under community there's a place for export/import scripts. i've got my i/e filters from there. they work under certain conditions. otherwise there are tuts about how to write a plugin for blender but to be honest... this python i/e system is not really a blast up to now.

errr guess that wasnt helpful.

/me goes back to just reading parts of topics

O thats ok. Dragon lord i got my scripts from there they just dont work.

can happen. i had to fiddle around with them a bit too to get importing working but not always. either the formats are not well defined, 3d apps store them incorrectly or the scrips are still weak. i guess the last one is true so unless you write one yourself i guess you are stuck with them.

I got his file and exported it to dxf. One problem. The normals are fucked up. Any way to fix that. In 3d studio max, I tried to unify the normals, but it doesn't unify right. Please help. BTW, Re-MasterMo. Try reinstalling blender.

why did you export it dxf. I sent you the OBJ file?

And yes my blender guru did help me. Shadow the script worked.

I exported it do dxf to see if the normals were different. Yes theyare different but the normals are mixed. Some are facing outwards, the others are facing inwards.

Are they fine in OBJ?

Hehe, your kidding. The normals look terrible in OBJ.

Man i guess i never checked. They looked fine in blend

Yeh, I looked at it in blender. Looks fine, but blender doesn't use normals.
