criss, you're definetly one heck of a reference! Thanks for sharing all this info with a newbie like me! I'll take good note of all the info on this thread and try to achieve my goal with your tips. This is now vacation time for me and my familly so i'll be away from the computer for a while but i'll be back with a new thread sometime in the next few weeks to share my experience positive or not! Thamks.

maybe i'm wrong but, didn't Tiger shipped with a version of Python already installed?...i'm baffled a bit with all this Python thing...what does it do exacly?...is it user friendly cause i'm a complete ignorant in regard to scripting... Thanks for your time criss!

just to confirm this... i went and downloaded some free 3d model of the net (.lwo) Opened it in VUE and BLENDER without an itch... Took the same file and tried to export it as a .obj from BLENDER to VUE and it didn't work!!! the file is unreadable by VUE... Am i the only one with this problem under TIGER!? if so, maybe a new installation of Blender might help right?

well people, nothing happens...it is like if the export function on Blender (os x) doesn't work (on my mac at least)... Could someone give me some hope and tell me it is working on there macs...!?

I did tried ohter format without succes... Wabe are telling me you reproduced that trouble on your side? Blender don't even open his own export .obj... Something i noticed is that the exported .obj file is no more than 4ko...shouldn't it be bigger? Criss, if i don't select anything and export as .obj what would be the outcome? could this be the missing action in my export attempt? if so, i'll try it coming back from work tonight. Thank you

Well, this is what i've got so far...it's not much but it's my first 3d modeling so i think it's not too bad of a start. Since i'm unable to export this as a .obj, i was wondering how, in blender, i would create a crystal version of my logo. Plus, how can i make a reflection on the ground...? Man, all these things seem so more easy in VUE5...

well, i tested wings3d to import my .obj and it didn't work either...is it possible that blender export unreadable .obj files?... Is there a workaround/plugins...something out there!? thanks again for your help! I'll check back later.

yeah, i used the IMPORT OBJECT function... i tried to search on the BLENDER forum for this kind of import problem without any luck... Since i'm at work i can't do any test but i'll try some tonight. Thanks for your help Wabe!

That's odd indeed. i have tried almost every export extention in the list but vue5 always seem to be unable to read them. Maybe it's on my part. Should i do something specific before creating the export file? Maybe i should run some test with wings3d (the only other soft i have) and see if it opens them? Thanks.

wow, thanks for all the replies! Ok, i took some time to make my logo in Blender using the beziers curves witch was very easy. Even took some time to fool around with the camera/lights/textures...BUT...and there's a BUT...i can't export it so that VUE5 can import it! i have tried almost all of the export choices in Blender but VUE5 seems to have trouble reading them...again i need some tips from the experts :-) How can i make VUE5 read a file from Blender!? I'm using Mac os x 10.4 by the way...if this is any help. thanks again!

thanks for your quick reply! I didn't know such free program even existed!!...3d is new to me and i think i've got a long way to go... So i'll take your advice and check them out. Thank you again!
