Ok here’s the deal. I don’t know if my ply file is bad or if python is bad.
But I can’t import any ply models into blender.
Ok firstly I go here:
http://graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep/
And download the ply file for happy buddha. I use ultimatezip (which is free) to unzip the tar file.
I then open blender go to:
- File > import > PLY (navigate through my directory to point to the ply file and click the import ply button. It looks like it is doing something because the screen flickers and a bar loads at the top.
Then I get a python script error and it says check console. The error is as follows:
Compiled with Python version 2.4.
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Checking for installed Python... No installed Python found.
Only built-in modules are available. Some scripts may not run.
Continuing happily.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 271, in filesel_callback
KeyError: 'face'
What the hell does that mean. I have installed the latest version of blender? Help.
Ps. the same thing happens if I choose the standford ply import option as well. There are two import options for ply in my menu.
If you can solve this I’d be so happy.
