.OBJ export doesn't work in CVS

Tried to export a model from Blender to Wavefront .obj file. Keep on getting error (it comes out right after I click on “Wavefront (.obj)” from the Export menu):

Shortname = ‘C:\Blender\blender.exe’
Compiled with Python version 2.4.
Checking for installed Python… got it!
C:\Blender.blender.blender\icons: No such file or directory

er are single values, that this script copies to an RGB triplet, giving shades o

I use latest CVS build from Graphicall.org by ZanQdo.
What’s the deal?

CVS builds aren’t finals and often have broken/incomplete parts.

Submit a proper bug report and hope it gets fixed in the final release.

thanks for pointing this out, fixed in CVS.
spyres, agree, bug reports are better then cluttering the forum.
since this is a script I maintain, emailing me direct would be good to. in cases where others would not realy benefit in hearing the response.

ideasman42,

Exported OBJ file has issues, such as open edges… Can’t tell you if it’s my fault, but when I import OBJ file I exported from Blender to 3DS MAX, I encounter open edges.
I will experiment more, but for now I just want to let you know about that and would like to know your opinion. Thanks.

motorstep, of course it may be somthing Im doing but I doubt it. the OBJ export is dead simple and was a lot easier to write then importer.

It may be that 3ds-max’s importer dosnt support all OBJ features hower Im not sure what features OBJ export would be using.

Since Iv tested max’s obj export and it has some dumb problems (exports a lot of concave quads), it would not surprise me if it was a max bug,

Can you show me a picture of the error?
