Hi Pilou,


Someone may have written a plugin or something like this, but I couldn't find it. So I have made a script myself.
The script can be downloaded from kyticka.webzdarma.cz/jot/. Actually, there is merely one file in the package which converts MoI's obj file to JOT's jot format - moi_obj2jot_jot.vbs - you can put this file somewhere and run it. If there is some "obj" file(s) in the same directory, it is processed and a relevant "jot" file(s) is created. If a relevant "jot" file already exists, it is left unaltered. The script creates only vertices, faces and texcoords2 fields. However, the JOT is kind of real-time (non photorealistic) render, thus it is possible directly to adjust camera and lights, rotate, move, scale objects and so on.

Some notes:
ResetView (focus on WYSIWYG window) Press "Shift+V" after you load particular jot file from within jot-cmd window. It adjusts camera so you can see all objects placed into the scene.
Creases: You have to reveal the creases. Select object and go to NPR Stroke editor(Line mode editing)->Mesh tab->Adjust "Crease Detect Angle" slider appropriately->Press "Regen. Creases"
Render image: Press "g" key when WYSIWYG NPR window has focus on. The big_grab000x.png is saved on disc in the current working directory. Alternatively, you can type "grab [scale-factor] [filename]" in the jot-cmd window; e.g. grab 2 scene.png
Render mode menu: Press "Shift-M". Just press Shift-M once again so that it can disappear.
Keyboard commands: ..\jot\manual\pdf\jot.pdf - page 44
Command line: you can handle a scene via typing commands in the jot-cmd window, i.e. hide/show object, rename object, list objects, delete object and so forth. For details on it, go to kyticka.webzdarma.cz/jot/commands.html.
