Exporter : branch (blender2kt) or python script ?

I looked at the stats for this month : blender2kt has been downloaded more than 750 times ! But quite 500 times since the last week .

i am telling you jms, do NOT get frustrated! and 500 downloads within a week
is very good in my opinion

So far, there's nothign wrong with the BLender2KT for me. I can wait. I just wanted to say that, I'm still waiting for the first fully functional realease. For support, I guess.

The script is slooooooooow, I take 20min to export sumthing once. But I prefer the script, cuz I like kerkythea's material editing interface more than Blender's. And it easier to achieve SSS and frosted glass I think.

jms,

with some added python is it possible to create the material in Blender which KT could use? (similar to the mental ray exporter)

how do you create SSS in KT?

yes... SSS how how how how how!!!

Well, i am quite new both to kerkythea and blender2kt, while i've been using blender for more than 2 yrs after shifting from 3dsMax: i think a deep integration within the blender and kerkythea would really benefit the blender community, as it's a very good render platform. Blender internal and yafray are really good, but kerkythea is obviously better in so many aspects (ease of use, so many rendering solutions, materials...the only lacking thing is...animation from blender ^_^)
I understand that full integration could be really difficult to implement, anyway the belnder community is usually quite happy to wait and help for such things. So imho blender2kt is a GREAT project, even if kerkythea will never reach full integration in blender, any further step would really be nice and really welcome, and then you can switch to kerkythea with the exported xml and fine tune as much as you like. So, definitely keep it up!!!
