b-lux : blender internal exporter

[karpov]

hi guys !

I'm doing a blender internal exporter for Lux based on the yafray API - yes I know, it will be soon out of date due to blender 2.5.... -
I have some problems with exporting uvs

I was making some tests with luxblend and it's very weird : when exporting a cube with uvs, it generate 20 points !

Can someone have a look to the code and help me ?

Hi,

Nice, but does'nt it make more sense to wait till the new render API is here ?

It will definately be nice if you could help out in that area

Radiance,

The exporter is quite finished and I'd like to integrate Lux in my workflow - so no python plugin....

Could you export a uvmaped cube with luxblend and look at the generated code ?
Do I really need to have those 20 points - I don't understand the logic....

Hi,

I could see why there would be 24 points, but not 20. If you specify the normals, each points belonging to 3 faces, you need to specify the vertices 3 times, so that you can specify the 3 normals. I havent't looked at this part of the code for a while, but this could be necessary to sharpen the edges of the mesh.

it's - partially- fixed
