I’m having trouble running the povexport.py script in Blender 2.23. I currently have the Python Path set to “c:/Program Files/Python20/Lib/” but when I use Alt-P to run the script I get the error message:
PYTHON SCRIPT ERROR:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “povexport.py”, line 364, in ?
Attribute Error: getCurrentScene
Does anyone have an idea why I would get this error. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks…
Use Povanim instead of this very old script (the python module is only compatible with blender 2.10):

I have used the Povanim script before, but I was just trying out the alternatives… I seem to be getting a weird problem with two cubes when exported using Povanim. Instead of exporting as a wall with a window in it, I get a small thin box. This is why I was trying to use the other script. I wanted to see if it was any good. Thanks for the info though about the povexport script.
Very curious. Can you send me this file?

I would be happy to send you this file. This time though instead of a small thin box, I got a duplication of a different object in place of the box (although I have changed the original file some too). Please email me with the appropriate place to send the file. Is there a limit as to how many vertices Povanim can handle? Thanks for your help with this.
Ok, just a little problem with object names.

I have report of exportation of very huge model, but the only one I tested by myself is a blender Star War isd of 6.5 mos. With 512 mos of RAM, I think you can export anything.

Thanks again for the help… I started to suspect that I had named two objects the same and that could be the problem last night while I was at the movies so it was nice to see that it was caused by something simple. You’ve made quite a wonderful script. Seems that now everything is working perfectly. Brilliant!
This kind of error will not happen any more.

if you still want to use povexport.py in blender 2.23, you can try this, it worked for me:
import Blender210 as Blender
import Blender as BlenderOld
This will use older Blender python module for backward compatibility
