Still Windows 7 64-Bit. I could try Ubuntu though if it helps.
I barely have any python experience, let alone with blender's scripting interface (I do get stuff to work, but it takes quite a while).
I didn't know about said value, so I go ahead and say no (at least not on purpose). I'm literally only using the given snippet in the default scene after setting up the export folder and the model format to smd in the gui.

Actually, this (automatic import and export) would be really handy for my current project, where it would help me automatically create lods of existing models and pair them together to reduce overall polycount and drawcalls.
If there's any way I can help or speed this up, please let me know.

np it's not urgent since exporting using the gui works fine.

Hello guys and happy Easter!

Issue is relatively easy to reproduce. Load up the startup scene, set up the export settings in the scene-panel.
Then execute this python script:


Scene-export using the gui works as expected though.
I'm not sure if I missed or found something here.

Oh okay, thanks. I'll come back if this doesn't work.
Something else entirely: Since for baking adding a triangulate modifier is recommended, what is your recommendation of this modifier for exports? I'm not sure where the triangulation happens when you export and compile and if it is already good "as is". I guess it would make sense for adding more consistency between what you see in blender and what you see ingame. I wouldn't mind testing for myself, but I also like hearing an opinion backed up by more experience.
Also, regarding Ctrl+E to make edges sharp: Does that mean that all seams are automatically sharp and have to be? (Since it's the same key shortcut this is a bit confusing for me).

Once again thanks for your time.

So, a model apparently needs consistent smoothing settings (either on or off, I remember having issues with the compiled model, if this is not the case anymore or I happen to have messed up somewhere else please let me know) to be properly exported. However sometimes, for example if you want to bake AO, smoothing settings have to be different throughout the mesh. The current solution to have this and exports working, is to create a duplicate of the final object, apply specific smoothing-settings there, and bake AO with this, while exporting the original model.
It would be nice if the export script could make this step obsolete, allowing you to pick whether or not the object will be smoothed during export, without affecting the smoothing settings of the model in blender.
