RE: Model help

If you don't mind me asking, Dred, what program did you use to export the .dae files? Blender 2.5 is rather problematic in that area. (I have managed to get one into the game by simply modeling and re-exporting an already-present Amnesia model, so I'm not sure what the issue is with from-scratch models unless it's a texturing issue.)

RE: Model help

I used Maya, with the latest OpenCollada plugin. I used to use Blender, try downloading Blender 2.49b, modelling in 2.5 and exporting in 2.49, that should solve the issue. I know that i only ever ran into problems if i was using the .DAE_FXB plugin. Does Blender use a different .DAE plugin than OpenCollada? if so, then thats your problem! see if there is a plugin for OpenCollada - blender.

RE: Model help

I'll see if there's an OpenCollada plugin. I figured to try exporting with 2.49 but would like to avoid it if I can. Thanks!

RE: Model help

Blender use a different plugin than OpenCollada and it's not maintained anymore, I think that's why blender cannot export armatures. It's maintenance dropped in 2006.

RE: Model help

Got Maya (thanks to being a student for that one) but my god is it ever frustrating to work with compared to Blender. You think it'd kill them to maybe implement one useful keyboard shortcut? It's also phenomenally bad at textures.

Tried the old version of Blender but it won't export to COLLADA 1.4 without an extra plugin, which then refuses to recognize that I've already installed a full version of Python and instead tells me to install a full version of Python, and there I'm stuck.

the old versions of blender require a manual installation of Python at Python setup's default directory which is at C:\ main folder only.

RE: Model help

RE: Model help

I'll give those a shot. My installation directory for Python is probably what I did wrong. Thank you both for the help.
