Blender Paths

by Jonny · in Artist Corner · 06/11/2006 (3:57 am) · 8 replies

Hi, I downloaded the latest blender2dts and read a tutorial on it. It said to export using paths and then just copy these paths across to the right directory, however i couldnt export to paths so i was wonderring if anyone could tell me the folders and files and what paths to use so that i could just do it manually? There is a way around this - by not using paths but by editing something in blender everytime you make a new shape. This worked on the example.blend but since I havnt really used blender i cant do it on shapes ive made myself.



Thanks, Jon

Hi,

By default, It will export on Blender Installation Directory. I always do things this way. THen I copy the dts and the texture file to my project folder file. e.g. c:\MyProject\Torque\Data\shapes\dummy

I hope this helps.

Ah maybe i wasnt clear i meant to say when i unzip the zipped file for the dts exporter it does give me an unzip to paths option. So i cant actually export a dts file in the first place. So i was trying to find the folder names etc for the paths for the exporter.

Well... so you're trying to install am I correct? It should be explained in the readme file. You can simply run the installer (Install Scripts.js, you need to have Java Script installed) Or copy the files manually as explained in the readme file....

er.. hope this helps....
