New script - Export blender 2.56 camera and lights to E-on Vue

Coding Python Support

I’ve tried to create a script to help integrate Blender 2.56 with Vue. It’s on the Blender Addon Catalog and available from:

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.5/Py/Scripts/Import-Export/VueCameraExport

Hope this works for you if like me, this is something you have been looking for.

Hi all.
I’ll start by saying that I do not know Python and have never coded anything, especially for Blender. However, I am trying to run the Export 2.56 Camera and Lights to Vue. At first I had an error with:

io_utils import ExportHelper

But I searched Google and found that Blender changed package for io_utils and was able to change code to bpy_extras.io_utils import ExportHelper. And it worked and created a camera.py file. This is good.

Now, I’m trying to run the script in Vue 9 Complete, but am receiving Vue error:

This verions of Vue cannot run this script.

I was wondering if anyone was able to run the script in Vue 9 or earlier and what might be causing Vue not to be able to run this script.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and many thanks in advance.

Ok, so the script did not export out a vue python file. I was looking at another file I thought was the one output by Blender. So, I don’t know if the changes I made to that line of code work. hehe

Would really appreciate some guidance on this or if the originator of the script has an updated one for 2.60a and Vue 9? Thanks again.

Well, it looks the only thing I’m getting is export_animations.cameras in the File > Export menu. But it is grayed out and unselectable.

Nevermind. It seems you can’t run your own python scripts with Vue 9 Complete. The examples that come with Vue 9 are encoded. So in order to run python scripts you create, you have to get Vue Infinite or xStream. Thanks e-on.

Hi. I’ve updated this script to work with Vue 10 and Blender 2.6.3
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Import-Export/VueCameraExport

It should work fine now. I have to admit Vue Python is a strange implementation to me. This script should now work without greying out the export menu entry and will generate a py script which can be loaded into Vue. I’ve improved the camera matching given Blender has improved its camera.

Let me now if this works for you. Shame it won’t work in Vue Complete. I’ve tested this in Vue 10 Infinite.

hey, Ruchir i just tried the new script and yes it does work great. it also helped me figure out how to import camera from another program into vue. thank you so much for your work on this. I had upgraded from 9 to Vue 10 Infinite. But, your script will be put to good use now. Thanks again.
