[Blender] New DTS plugin

[Insert Name Here]

Recent changes

• Fixed "Use mesh transforms" messing up everything (this was probably the cause of most issues when exporting models with a skeleton (player models, some vehicles, some weapons) in them).

Try going to the user preferences, remove the old version, then install the new version

By the way, choosing to hide the blockhead nodes on import should also hide the actual nodes for the mesh that gets hidden so that you're not left with visible nodes for the tri-plume, cop hat, etc

what is even the proper process to exporting a dts?

literally every time i export something the model is broken. its nothing. no errors. i haven't gotten it to work once other than modifying m.dts.

I can get it to export properly if I remove the pointless "Shape -> Detail32 -> Armature" structure you have in the scene.




After a bit of debugging, I've pushed a new version that can export it even if that structure is there. The real issue was that your meshes were being put in LOD "detail32" and you had a node named "Detail32", and that the DTS name table is normally case-insensitive (but Python's key lookup is not). In a nutshell, it works now (and you don't need to change anything if you update the plugin).


For future reference, your model is so simple that you can just have the plain "lense", "nation" and "vape" meshes. You don't need any of the other objects here ("Empty", "Shape", "Detail32", "Armature", "bone").

if i dont need to put anything down how will i know which direction the model will face upon export?

[portify]

well it'll just face the direction it's facing in blender
it won't be rotated by the exporter

[portify]

plain solid smooth shading on translucent materials looks incredibly dumb

[Trogtor]

spent like an hour making a really intricate running animation and

did you ever figure out a solution to this?

did you ever figure out a solution to this?

is it fixed in the latest version? it should be able to export it, no guarantees on the actual animation

https://github.com/portify/io_scene_dts/issues is looking a lot better than it was half a year ago
