LIF to OBJ - a python script to convert LDD bricks to .obj files

[M2m]

Quickly threw this together. My 1st python program.

Added a renderman converter:

Nice work. And even though I'm not using any of these programs it inspired me to create such thing for a 3D Studio Max. So I wrote an importer and exporter for the geometry and since I was at it I wrote an XML import/export. So... the next logical step was to create a custom brick and test if it would work in LDD. But I'm not sure if I can post the result.

Some progress: LXF to Renderman

 

[M2m]

Some more progress. No textures or even color support. Not all parts work. Forget about flex parts.

Further update

Things working:

Colors of non-transparent bricks

alot of bricks including rotation

alpha channel (comes out of the box with renderman)

Future (in no particular order):

Transparent bricks

logo on stud

Textures

better plastic material shader

Some more refinements on the program:

Some small updates:

I got all parts working (except flex parts). So this also includes minifigs now :)

Still looking on how to add logo on studs, textures, seems, and of course flex parts.

Add support for Transparent colors and Multi-colored solid parts (that is parts which consist of 2 plastic molds - like the bold hair piece).

I got internal groundwork done for texture support.

First success with textures - but is all really alpha stage

Improved texture handling:

A kind of hybrid render I did:
