Is it possible, if so, then how would I go about doing it?
To be honest I like Anim8or better than Blender, Milkshape (because I'm broke) and 3dsmax (because I'm broke).
Anim8or allows you to create scripts.
This is a script to export to ROBLOX-compatible meshes:
/*
Description: Add this to your Anim8or scripts directory and start Anim8or.
The script MUST have the ".a8s" extension and be in the Anim8or Scripts folder.
Make sure that "Preload Scripts" is set to ON (this is NECCESSARY).
This script has been tested for 0.95 and 0.97 preview.
*/
#plugin("object", "export", "ROBLOX Mesh File", ".mesh");
#file($output, "text");
#return($result);
file $output;
int $result;
object $obj;
shape $shape, $shapes[1], $childShapes[1];
tridata $data;
material $mat;
int $numFaces;
point3 $point, $normal, $color;
point2 $uv;
int $i;
int $j;
int $index, $mIndex;
int $count;
float $gCol;
string $nm;
string $newName;
float4x4 $tMatrix;
$nm = $output.GetRoot();
$obj = project.curObject;
$output.print("version 1.00\n");
$obj.GetShapes($childShapes);
$shapes.size = 0;
while($childShapes.size > 0)
{
$shapes.push($childShapes.pop());
}
while($shapes.size > 0)
{
$shape = $shapes.pop();
$shape = $shape.ConvertToMesh();
$data = $shape.GetTriangleData();
$numFaces = $data.GetNumTriangles();
$tMatrix = $shape.GetGlobalTransform();
$output.print("%d\n",$numFaces);
for $i = 0 to $numFaces - 1 do
{
for $j = 0 to 2 step 1 do
{
$index = $data.GetIndex(($i*3)+$j);
$point = $data.GetPoint($index);
$point = $tMatrix.Project($point);
$normal = $data.GetNormal($index);
$uv = $data.GetTexCoord($index);
$output.print("[%.6g, %.6g, %.6g]", $point.x, $point.y, $point.z);
$output.print("[%.5f, %.5f, %.5f]", $normal.x, $normal.y, $normal.z);
$output.print("[%.5f, %.5f, 0]", $uv.x, $uv.y);
}
}
}
$result = 1;
Maybe someone could use this as a template for a .dts explorter if such a thing doesn't already exist?
