This script is a Blender => Cal3D converter.
(See http://blender.org and http://cal3d.sourceforge.net)

USAGE:

To install it, place the script in your $HOME/.blender/scripts directory.

Then open the File->Export->Cal3d v0.9 menu. And select the filename of the .cfg file.
The exporter will create a set of other files with same prefix (ie. bla.cfg, bla.xsf,
bla_Action1.xaf, bla_Action2.xaf, ...).

You should be able to open the .cfg file in cal3d_miniviewer.


NOT (YET) SUPPORTED:

  - Rotation, translation, or stretching Blender objects is still quite
buggy, so AVOID MOVING / ROTATING / RESIZE OBJECTS (either mesh or armature) !
Instead, edit the object (with tab), select all points / bones (with "a"),
and move / rotate / resize them.<br>
  - no support for exporting springs yet<br>
  - no support for exporting material colors (most games should only use images
I think...)


KNOWN ISSUES:

  - Cal3D versions <=0.9.1 have a bug where animations aren't played when the root bone
is not animated;<br>
  - Cal3D versions <=0.9.1 have a bug where objects that aren't influenced by any bones
are not drawn (fixed in Cal3D CVS).


NOTES:

It requires a very recent version of Blender (>= 2.35).

Build a model following a few rules:<br>
  - Use only a single armature;<br>
  - Use only a single rootbone (Cal3D doesn't support floating bones);<br>
  - Use only locrot keys (Cal3D doesn't support bone's size change);<br>
  - Don't try to create child/parent constructs in blender object, that gets exported
incorrectly at the moment;<br>
  - Don't put "." in action or bone names, and do not start these names by a figure;<br>
  - Objects or animations whose names start by "_" are not exported (hidden object).

It can be run in batch mode, as following :<br>
    blender model.blend -P blender2cal3d.py --blender2cal3d FILENAME=model.cfg EXPORT_FOR_SOYA=1

You can pass as many parameters as you want at the end, "EXPORT_FOR_SOYA=1" is just an
example. The parameters are the same as below.
