Mecabricks + Blender

I made 2 prototype Iron-BAT helmets based on ironman helmet, but both didn't look good to me. I think the helmet from "batman vs superman" would be a better choice. https://youtu.be/hHLW27bQeF0

Not sure what's wrong, tried many times. same error message. model splitted to 2 parts, one was super large, one was super small. Report: Error Traceback(most recent call last): File "C:\xxxx\Blender\2.78\scripts\addons\mecabricks\_init_.py", line 500, in execute return importMecabriks(self, context, self.filepath) File "C:\xxxx\Blender\2.78\scripts\addons\mecabricks\_init_.py", line 221, in importMecabriks objMaterials = parseObjMaterials(object.material_slots) File "C:\xxxx\Blender\2.78\scripts\addons\mecabricks\_init_.py", line 288, in parseObjMaterials "backgroundColor': splitName[1], IndexError: list index out of range location: <unknown location>;1

Did an OSL on-off test. With OSL on, more detailed but double the time and blur the decorations. Maybe I didn't set up very well.

Yes. I deactivated OSL. I cannot use GPU to render. My iMac is Mid2010 with ATI Radeon HD 5750, Blender did not respond every time I used GPU, I have to force quit and restart Blender. New parts and decorations in Mecabricks blows LDD and Ldraw far away. Made another one: 7 to 8 minutes per frame. Too slow. I hope I can use my GPU to render.

I am waiting for the function of adding design-id to BOM. I added the design-id with photoshop. It was nightmare, too much work.

Use Blender Lite made this one: Thank you Mecabricks. Mecabricks workflow is better than LDraw. But the problem is: the parts lib of Medabricks is still limited.

Did a quick test video with blender. The lighting didn't setup very well.

got it. thank you.

Can anyone tell me where can I find blueprint.ini in Mac? Thank you.

design id would be good. please add copy parts to clipboard function. page.background=C:\path\image.png is great, but if we can Export PNG images with Transparent background, then we could play with the images in Photoshop more easier.

>> Add option for part numbers in steps >uhm what is this exacly? :) like below picture. If possible, please add a function in step designs: copy parts id, name, (image) to clipboard. copy parts to clipboard

>> Can you please make a option for Export PNG image with Transparent background? >I can look into it but what would this be useful for ? Put image to not solid color background, like this sky background:

Great changes. Can you please make a option for Export PNG image with Transparent background? Thank you.

Hi MSX80, Can you please add two options in page layout: 1. add parts numbers in steps 2. choose colour for Highlight added parts Thank you very much.
