Full Version: The Globes and the Dimples

Hmm, just a quick question...

So when I select an object in Blender, I normally get an outline in orange of the object - like in the picture below, on the left.



However, when I select an object imported via the moi lwo script, I don't see the orange outline - just a little orange rectangle at the origin.

Is there any way to fix this?

It's not a huge deal - but it would be nice to see what I've got selected when I'm putting materials on them, etc. (the little tank thing in that picture is made up of 6 objects, but nothing visually changes when I select different parts)

Cheers!!

I'm glad you like it.

I did see the BPyMesh_ngon function, but didn't have time to experiment with it. I don't know about the outline, but it does show up after exiting edit mode. I'll have look into it when I get some free time.

Thank Anthony :D

Much love!

Hi! please help me...im new at blender and im kinda stupid... where do i put the link you are giving so i can use a MoI3D file into blender...please help me i dont know anything about scripts and i can't seem to find where to put the link you give

Hi karlos, to install the script, you copy the import_moi.py file into Blender's script folder, which by default will be here I think:
C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts

Once that import_moi.py file is in Blender's script folder, the next time you start it up it will have a new entry on its File > Import menu that says "MoI with Normals (.lwo)".

Note that this is for Blender version 2.49 only, the script will not work on the newer Blender 2.5 versions.

Hey

Anthony also made a 2.5 version, which can be located here:

Hi All,

Just wondering if there's still a blender importer out there for MoI?

Thanks!

Import a Blender file inside MOi ?
you can use directly OBJ files with the Max Smirnov _importOBJ or the new native Transform / SubD

You can also use FreeShip to export in IGES format, the "subdivision surfaces" made with Blender.
I believe that Blender has not yet Nurbs Volumes!

Hi jweber, if you mean importing files made in MoI into Blender, it used to be the case a long time ago that a special importer was needed to have vertex normals come through. But Blender's default .obj file importer has been improved a lot since then so now there is no need to use any special importer, just use .obj format for transferring into Blender.
