Zanduar, are you able to run any of the scripts that come with Blender? It's my understanding that Blender now comes with a Python interpreter, but I can't be sure since I installed Python a long time ago and never had any trouble. If you can't run any Blender scripts, try going here and download and install the 2.4 version. I'm not sure if 2.5 will work. According to the distribution docs:
Even if you do have the right version of Python installed you may need to tell the embedded Python interpreter where the installation is. To do that it's enough to set a system variable called PYTHON to the full path to the stand-alone Python executable (to find out execute "import sys; print sys.executable" inside the stand-alone interpreter, not in Blender). To check which Python was linked to your Blender binary, execute "import sys; print sys.version" at Blender's text editor), it's probably 2.3.something -- only the two first numbers should have to match with yours. All this assumes you're using Windows since Python is kinda standard on Linux and Mac (I think). |

I installed python 2.5 & i can run the prim script fine, but when I do all the importing into SL it says complete when compiled & nothing happends... How long do I ahve to wait for it to do the import magic???

Go to my shop in Brithys and pick up either the free pre-built importer or the advanced importer.
The importer scripts from the Sourceforge page are very old, and were broken quite a while ago. |

19 pages of replies is getting hard to wade through, perhaps an updated list of current problems in the first post would help keep track of things to avoid multiple references to the same issue. That said, hopefully this HAS already been encountered and there's a fix in the works:
This is the console output after I start Blender and execute the script. A error message pops up and tells me to check the console, which has this: guessing 'blender-bin' == '/usr/bin/blender-bin' Compiled with Python version 2.4. Checking for installed Python... got it!

Sorry to double post, but I've run into some weird behavior with the scripts and just wanted to see if anyone else is noticing this stuff, or if maybe my workflow is just.. wrong.
If I create a prim and move / resize it with the script tools, everything seems to stay updated. If I move or resize the prims with the Blender tools, the script fails to keep track of the changes. After I deselect prims, and reselect, the parameters in the script seem to reset to the defaults. I wonder if there could be a button to manually update or re-sync the script's parameters? Prompting what (I gather from previous posts) a timer callout should be doing. I don't know much about the Blender interface, but it should be possible to analyze the object at any point and recalculate the position, scale and rotation back into values that SL understands. An excellent tool in the making anyway thanks a lot for your efforts Jeffrey. We're privileged to get to beta test your work.  |

I don't remember, where I found solution, but it works! Here is the info if you want to fix this yourself. In Blender 2.43, with the script open (and before you execute it!), make the following changes: 1 - in the script window, Find (Crtl+Alt+F) "setEuler" (no quotes) 2 - add square brackets around the params in the function call. E.g.: from this "setEuler(...);" to "setEuler([...]);" 3 - goto step 1 I think there are 5-6 instances of setEuler() in the script. Each one needs to have the square brackets around the params. I did this and now it works fine. I would then save the entire scene as a new .blend file that you can open later. Note, again, this is ONLY FOR 2.43 (and maybe future versions of Blender) at least until the original script author has time to update. Thanks for this tip! It worked like a charm! |

Possible Extension to Support Megaprims?
05-13-2007 02:21
Would it be possible to modify this so that construction with megaprims could be used as well?

The only known Way to rez a Megaprim is using one of the existing Megaprims, but they will always be fixed Size. So it would be possible to add these, but not more - you can resize Stuff in Blender as much as you want, but you cant rez a 17.3 x 74.2 x 8.43 Box in SL. _____________________

Blender 2.43
Python 2.44 Prim Builder 0.4.0 Installed Python. Rebooted. Installed Blender. Rebooted Installed Prim Builder. Opened Prim.Builder.blend Ran script. "Error in script, check console" Clear notification, look for console. Blender has frozen. Windows pops up and says "Blender has crashed and needs to close" or some fluff like that. _____________________

I just installed this today and got the same error. Update your Python from http://python.org/download/ To which version? 2.44 (causes same error) or 2.5+ (Blender can't find Python and then complains about it) _____________________

Dont waste your Time, prim.blender can NOT convert 3ds Files to Prims. but Wings3d can convert it to Obj and that can be converted to Prims. I've done it. It looks like crap but it can be done. Blender to me is crap. Its not just Blender, its any program with a non standard format. 3d is hard enough, Blender makes it almost impossible. But I digress. _____________________
