OK, blender 2.5 is Alpha 0, lets work with v2.49b. Lets keep v2.5 for rendering.

Michalis, does this mean that you will import into 2.49 first, then save as .blend file and open it in 2.5 for rendering? Just trying to understand the workflow. I can't wait until they are finished with 2.5. It is a real gem in the making...especially if it is still free!!

Also where do you get your Blender trees?

[michaliszissiou]

Yes Adam. You can save the v2.49b file and open it in 2.5 (much faster renderer). But you have to wait for a full functional 2.5.
As for "if it is still free" read this one. It will always be a freeware app.

This works well, I had to do this to get the collada import to work. Import with 2.49, save as .blend, re-open in 2.5. Didn't know the .OBJ import was broken too, thanks for the heads up.

An updated render, using blender particle system for dry grass. I have a lot more to learn...

Hi,

Anyone know how to run kt2obj in OS X?
There is a Unix version and since OS X is Unix based i thought it would be possible.
But my knowledge in terminal is

Any tips are welcome.

Your question would be better answered in its own post.

Hmm... Blender 2.57 can't import collada exported from SU8 ..?

[michaliszissiou]

A tip.
Keep a blender 2.49b for this. For the moment.
The best way to export is the official obj format. But you need SU pro... what a shame for google.

For SU free version use the Export obj + Material by TIG
