Blender BLB Exporter [v2.0.0]

Blender BLB Exporter
GitHub · Downloads · Blender
It's been a long time in the making but I've finally reached the point where I'm comfortable with a public release. I present to you: an add-on for Blender 2.67 or newer for exporting Blockland bricks. No need for a command-line program or exporting to .OBJ to create .BLB files. This plugin allows you to harness the power of Blender and export a brick that appears in-game exactly as it did in the viewport. It supports all .BLB file features*, has several convenience features such as exporting multiple bricks in one go or using Blender modifiers, and even fancy things like per-vertex colors. The exporting process is customizable enough that you can easily export bricks that have been modeled for use in another exporter. Importing .BLB files is not yet supported.
See the downloads page for the latest release and installation instructions. See the GitHub page for instructions on how to use the add-on and a full feature list. Hover over the options in the Blender export dialog for descriptions of each option.
If you want to be on the cutting edge of most recent developments or I've gone AWOL for some reason, download the develop branch and install it. See the commits for new features. I can't guarantee it will work as expected though, that branch is called "develop" for a reason.
Please post in this thread if you have any suggestions for features or issues with using the add-on.

There is no automatic UV calculation for brick textures but I'm working on it, it will hopefully be in the next release. You can manually define UVs though.
