Need help exporting from Blender
by Steven B · in Torque Game Engine · 12/12/2004 (1:23 pm) · 7 replies
I need a tutorial on how to export a model from Blender and use it in Torgue. I looked at the previous post "blender for newbies" but I didn't quite get what I was looking for out of that post.

I have blender 2.35
I have Windows XP
C:/Program Files;C:\Python23\Lib\idlelib;C:\WINNT\system32\python23.zip;C:\Program Files\blender\util;C:\Python23\DLLs;C:\Python23\lib;C:\Python23\lib\plat-win;C:\Python23\lib\lib-tk;C:\Python23;C:\Python23\lib\site-packages;C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts
That is the latest Path I used I have tried all kinds of configs
One thing that I can't find anywhere on my computer is blender\util
At first I also tried C:\Documents and Settings\Steve\Desktop as it said in the documentation.
I have basically done what the doc said and the tried a bunch of other configs but I did use the directions first. Stumped!

Can you downgrade to Blender 2.34, and verify that it works there?

Thanks.
I read in some other posts that they had 2.35 working but I could never get the path right I guess?
Whenever I tried to run getPath.py
the window would just show for a split second and disappear, I tried several ways to run it with the same result.

Well after trying for hours and days I did decide to downgrade to 2.34 and as soon as I installed and opened it. The exporter was there and I exported the example cube and put it into the starter.fps and shot some arrows at it. That did the trick, I just like having the latest release of an application. That is why I tried so hard to get it working.Thanks.

To make the export work with 2.35 you have to change the first few lines of Dts_Blender.py so it looks like the following. You can do this in any text editor.
#!BPY
"""
Name: 'Torque DTS Exporter'
Blender: 233
Group: 'Export'
Submenu: 'Export' export
Submenu: 'Configure' config
Tooltip: 'Export to Torque (.dts) format.'
