mtl and all your texture files (you can use 'Copy' option of the exporter to copy all needed textures in a subdir next to exported. But it does not embed textures themselves either. AC3D supports individual face twosidedness, blender's twosidedness is per-object Materials (including references paths to textures) are stored in companion. Blender's Materials can have multiple textures per material - so a material + texure in AC3D requires a distinct and unique material in blender (more of an issue for the export routine) This is a UV texture map, so it's imported as such in blender AC3D supports only one texture per surface. Blender uses Right Handed axes, the import does provide a rotation matrix applied to the world object that corrects this, so "Up" in the AC file appears as "Up" in blender - it's configurable, so you can change how it rotates. AC3D appears to use Left Handed axes, but with Y oriented "Up". Some noted points that are important for consideration: The original work carried out by Willian P Gerano was used to learn Python and Blender, but inherent issues and a desire to do better has prompted a complete re-write This file is a reboot of the AC3D import script that is used to import. io_utils import unpack_list, unpack_face_listįrom bpy_extras.
