Will this continue to work? Actually, when I tested today there was an error due to another api change. It could be easily fixed on the export side, so it will work with tomorrow's nightly build. Hopefully the days of api changes are over soon.
First of all, many thanks for trying to keep the importer functional, through all the Blender 2.5 updates (I have my own set of 2.5 scripts and I am fully aware of the associated maintenance pains).
ReplyDeleteWill this be compatible with mhx files exported from the MH alpha 5 (current release) or do we to use the MH nightly build?
It does not work with alpha 5. The mhx files themselves depend on the api, and thus don't survive Blender changes. The bug mentioned in the post was of this type.
ReplyDeleteI´ve got blender 2.55 e MH alpha 5, so, what is the fix for the bug?
ReplyDeleteOk, I understand the value of not putting things up until they're compleately done, but I really think that this is too important an issue to put off. This fix needs to be in the stable version as soon as you can possibly get it in there. I honestly have no problem with waiting even a full month for any other development on this program if the darn export process was workable.

ReplyDeleteIf you download the latest Nightly Build you shouldn't have any problem exporting from Makehuman to Blender 2.55.
The importer that comes with Blender 2.55 beta works with that version of Blender. If you are using a newer build from graphicall.org, you must copy the updated importer from importers/mhx/blender25x to Blender's addon folder first. The procedure, with some obvious modifications, was described in http://makehuman.blogspot.com/2010/08/problems-with-mhx-importer.html
ReplyDeleteusing Blender 2.55 beta r33254 from graphicall on Windows Vista, I copied the io_import_scene_mhx.py from TODAYs MH-Download and still cannot import.

Thank you!
hi Thomas,
ReplyDeleteI really would like you to join here:
http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-extensions/
so I can give you access to our svn here:
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-extensions/
then you can upload & update the script & it will be in Blender svn builds correctly.
The script will need to be maintained so it matches both Blender nighly & MH nighly builds.
That way it will be as up to date as possible.
All you will need to do is check out our svn & update the script as you make changes.
Thanks.
Brendon.
