Renderman (RIB) Export script

Hi all!

I was recently browsing www.highend3d.com when I came across a script that exports from blender to the renderman RIB format. I tried it but it doesn’t seem to work under Blender Publisher and most probably any newer versions.

You can download it here at www.janw.gothere.uk.com/

There is one line ( the second from the bottom) in the code which reads:

  scene = Blender.getCurrentScene()

and this doesn’t work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks! :wink:

You can not cause the module Blender210 does not exist anymore in the
python API.

Actually - I fixed that line up and all is okay. I’m looking into the Blender 2.25 API documentation and translating the differences into this script.

It’s going to be a sloew progress but I might just make it…correct me if I’m wrong so I can stop now!

You are wrong stop now!! Well, you are not wrong but you also have an option: Jan Walters himself is writing a new RIB exporter. You can follow his progress here. I would also suggest you to check this thread over at http://www.blender.org, because he seems to be seeking help, you may want to give him a hand (hint hint ;))

Bye,
