Notes:

Export Notes:

• Designed for simple meshes. Will not work with actors.
• Only exports 1 object at a time.
• Morph animations will export as vertex animations in modelspace
• Will read most compound and base d3d materials.
• Use the "Fix Bitmaps For Export" from the Material Utilities for objects that have texture bitmaps applied to them.
• Only linear dimensions will export. Workspace Dimensions

Dev Notes

• uses load on demand style run
• RsTime.EvalAnimStart and EvalAnimEnd give first and last keyframes in the scene and sets the play range, the in string value seems to be ignored
• Gimp, MS Paint and Photos will read ico files - cob icon was only available as an ico file via Resource Hacker
• Modelspace relative to Workspace has -X translation and -Pitch and -Yaw rotations. U Offset/Move is also negative value.
• Script has code to work consistently with the 2 versions of the compound Material output node.
• Modelspace NURBS patch control points objects are tied to a parent polygon object.
• D3D shading model does not match modelspace shading so several material attributes are ignored.
• Forgot to export UV channel 2 and don't remember how to use it in modelspace. ? Is there only 1 uv modelspace?
• It might be easy to add modelspace SCN export
