Getting 3D Models from your modeling software of choice into a 3D Engine can be a frustrating experience. Especially to newcomers to real time graphics. Seldom are exporters and importers able to transfer all the properties of your model seamlessly and workflows which might work well between a single 3D Modeling tool and a single real time Engine, often break apart, once you try to apply it to different software.
This seminar tries to bring some clarity into this process. We’ll look at the different pitfalls usually encountered when transferring model and material data and present some general approaches on how to deal with them.
We’ll show practical examples with Blender and Foxotron, so that you can apply these approaches directly for your next entry, but the focus will be on techniques and workflows which can be applied to a wide variety of modeling tools and 3D engines.
After the presentation you should be well prepared to submit your own entries to 3D Model competitions, be able to debug common issues when exporting and importing models between applications and have some time to ask questions and discuss issues you’ve stumbled upon.
