Stuck making a cycle model: SOLVED

[sinewav]

UGH. I actually figured out the problem. It has nothing to do with the version of blender or the script, but what I did with the script. You see, I never actually installed the ASE export script. I just ran it from the text window in Blender. I guess it doesn't work that way very well. I installed the script like I should have done in the first place and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the help everyone!

Just curious, what version of blender did you use? I just downloaded the latest one (2.48a) and I can't get the .ase import/export script to work for me.

I used Blender 2.481 and the script version was goofosASE-2.44v0.6.10b_9sept07.py.

Like I said above, my original export problem happened because I tried to run the script from Blender's internal editor without actually installing it. After I placed the script it in "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts" (win obviously), I was able to run the script from the Python menu (Export ASE). I used only the default options while exporting and it worked perfectly.

The export works now, thanks. But what I originally wanted to do is to import the bike model into blender so I could try working on an exploded lightcycle for the t-shirt design. I found this import script from goofos http://www.katsbits.com/index.php?subac ... m=&ucat=33&, but I get an error trying to run it:

Code: Select all

IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

Hey, that's a great idea! Maybe someone else on the Internet has a better model and format? How about asking edd keefe to email you one of his models in another, Blender-ready format?

Judging by the filename, the script on that page looks like it's from April 06. Maybe you should try it with the one on here (which seems to be from august the same year):

That's the one I'm using and it works fine as far as I can tell (2.481 as well)

That's exactly where I got the import script I tried to use, and isn't that the one from April 06?
