I cannot make out the image... Is it possible to post a bigger screen capture, or copy it out of the console?

Looks like you forgot to add any material slots to the object.

So I did get the export to work once.. not sure what i did to make it work though.
I am getting this error now. I have added Mats,Tex, UVMaps.

Error:

Could someone do a quick basic step by step with a cone or cylinder for me..

Thanks

You need to triangulate all the faces. You will notice after that error that bitcpy's script selects/highlights the n-gons that need to be triangulated.

In edit mode with those faces selected (or all faces), do Mesh -> Faces -> Triangulate Faces.

Model/animation import seems to not quite be accurate for many or most skinned animations. For example, lindworm_fly_maneuver_1.animation fails to move some vertices:

Of course this isn't a big deal since animation export doesn't support bone animations yet anyway.

I'm glad you mentioned that because I was trying to export a rigged animation & getting terrible errors and was about to ask for help.

Hopefully, bitcpy returns and adds this feature but if not I think MeshCraft is going to support it.

Bone animations should work just fine, and if it isn't I'd be happy to look into any problems you're having.

I double checked the lindworm you posted and got the same error.
I'll try to look into it during the week and get back to you guys when it's fixed.

Thanks for posting problems so I can get a chance to fix them.

Hmm, you're right, I just tried importing and immediately exporting an animation and it worked fine. I could swear I tried that before and it didn't work (only used the first keyframe and then didn't move the model for the remainder of the animation). Guess I need to figure out what's wrong with my own animation. Never mind.

If you want to you could mail me the blender file and I could have a look at it as well.

Turns out I had forgotten to bake the animation after making it. God I'm stupid.
