No, I'm running the straight BF release with the one additional importer so that's most likely what anyone new to it will run also.

By any chance are you running Kai's pimped Blender2.49b? It has just about every additional script known to man!:laugh:

Some of the experimental builds have different options and of course import/export scripts can be added as I did with the [Giles] lightmap importer.

The CR2 importer is not a standard release item and as you've noted is not much use. Even the collada importer is basically non-functional unless you install the Sept 2008 version found at BlenderNation.

The multiplicity of versions is part of what causes chaos and confusion for a lot of new people so I tend to run the BF stable release to simplify answering questions. I do run some of the experimental builds for my own purposes.

On the subject of scripts, have you been keeping up with Blended Cities? It is really taking off and becoming useful.

Oh yeah, don't mistake the Renderosity join date as my start in 3d.:biggrin:
