Coding Python Support

Hi i have a problem with the new povanim script :frowning: i changed the lines 90 an 110 where my povray 3.5 is. After pressing alt-p the gui starts, after pressing export it returns to the text window?? But no file was exportet in the status window i read that the file couldn´t be found. I don´t know anyfurther grrr. with blender 2.26 all works fine and i do all same to 2.28

Any solution?

Win32 or linux?

Can you copy the complete message, or better,
all the text you found in the console?

Curious, the problem seems to be the “joinselected” variable.
which is used by the [Add Selected to Export] Option…

And that means? I tried blender 2.25 upto 2.28 and the only povanim working ist the one for 2.26 in version 11 anything else work. Also didn´t work your former versions for 2.28 grrrr.

I have no choice beacause yafray won´t work in any way so povanim is the only one.

Hope you´ll have an idea solving the problem?

I am testing this problem. The povanim228_04 works on my win98 system
if I do not use the option [Add Selected 2 Export] (note that the real name
of this option is “Add the current selected objects to the yet exported
mesh file”).

Can you send me a copy of your modified lan_povanim228_04.py ?
This return upon povanim228 is very helpful, thank you.

Ok i´ll send you my modified file when i´m home please couid could you give me you email?
