To add a second material to an object use a Blender node not a cycles node and add a material to is the node does not need to be linked or a files associated with it it just needs to exist.
Zip file included with all files and a full scene properly set up for testing
may build upon this in the future to import diffuse/spec and rgb of lights as well as auto loading
of normals and multiple obj file types but prolly not cause it servers my purpose and ive moved on to python.

I am pretty sure you could box this and sell it!

What I have been doing is using blender 2.9 to do my main work and then back porting to 2.79 via FBX and export from there to get the animations to work, maybe that method will work for this too.

Thanks for sharing, this is pure gold.

I am using Blender 2.93 LTS, can't imagine to go lower than Blender 2.80 anymore.
But such a tool is very need and could speed up the development time with App Game Kit and 3D environments a lot

Well u can always import it into 7.9 then export as .x. i feel it's worth it. It's like having an insane level editor built into agk.

also if this helps as well, not instead of... nice exporter by the way... I am trying out python and I wrote a script that will list info.. still messing around but for 2.92 Blender so far it prints out this:

objects parse [objectname], [xpos],[ypos],[zpos],[xang],[yang],[zang],[xscale],[yscale],[zscale]
lights parse [lightname],[light power],[light color]

Well this is an exporter and an importer. The python script I imagine would work just as well for the export part, but I also wanted everything to be native agk

Hi, this is great, thank a lot !!!!

I will try it and it works fine.
I still use blender 2.76 ^^ for lots of my games (and 2.90)

I only have errors with images which isn't power of 2 and setImageWrapU/V.
I think you should use image with power of 2 when you use wrap .

Thank you again, I will try it on a big scene .

Another things which could be great would be to create a file with :
- named objet +its textures names

So it would be easier to use :
- loadObject()
- SetObjectMeshTextures()


When I export my scene with 3 objects, in .x (blender 2.76), I only get 1 object with GetObjectNumMeshes(). So I hope your exporter/importer will works event if agk doesn't find more than 1 mesh .

That seem fantastic!!!

But please explain;

Where do i put these files? i extract to my AppGameKit folder? or into each and every project i am working on if i need a level?

if i follow;

1- I create a level in Blender and export as .X from the 2.79 Blender (as it is the only one still having the .X exporter)
2- I create a new project in AppGameKit in which i have your program
3- I save my Blender level as "text.x" in "media/import" folder (i have to create the folder "import" into the already created "media" folder?
4- In media folder, i place all the textures needed for that level
5- i add the following code to my game
#include "Init_engine.agc"
Init_engine()
CreateLevel()

This will ( i am trying to understand here) take the multitude of objects i use to create my level in Blender and create, a file, a list of objects with rotation. scaling, texture and position WITHOUT ME HAVING TO import IT ALL BY code in AGKS???

Then i comment off like this
//CreateLevel()

and i uncomment
loadlvl()

and run my game again and my level will load?

if that work, TGC need to hire you... Thank you so very much, we needed this terribly!!!

Yes that is pretty much how it works goto hello world lol. Its job is to parse the existing .x scene file and converts it into all of it sub objects, the texture rotation color ect information is grabbed form the .x file. At then creates a lvl load script that basically has all objects and their textures and coordinates that can be loaded with load level. load level will load all objects into a object type and after that its up to the user to decide what to do with their objects. ideally you could just sort by name and have it automatically apply shaders to objects with a glass or metal in their name or even based off texture. could get quite fancy with it. I just do small agk projects when i get time i don't think tgc could afford me i get to spend all day at work playing with python and plcs for a ridiculous pay rate. If agk would give me an api i would publish a killer 3d level editor for agk. cant be bothered dealing with plugins or tying to set up teir 2.
