This script imports TrueSpace files to Blender
TrueSpace is a commercial modeling and rendering application. The .cob
file format is composed of 'chunks,' is well defined, and easy to read and
write. It's very similar to LightWave's lwo format.
Usage:
Execute this script from the "File->Import" menu and choose a TrueSpace
file to open.
Supported:
Meshes only. Supports UV Coordinates. COB files in ascii format can't be
read.
Missing:
Materials, and Vertex Color info will be ignored.
Known issues:
Triangulation of convex polygons works fine, and uses a very simple
fanning algorithm. Convex polygons (i.e., shaped like the letter "U")
require a different algorithm, and will be triagulated incorrectly.
Notes:
There are a few differences between how Blender & TrueSpace represent
their objects' transformation matrices. Blender simply uses a 4x4 matrix,
and trueSpace splits it into the following two fields.
For the 'Local Axes' values: The x, y, and z-axis represent a simple
rotation matrix. This is equivalent to Blender's object matrix before
it was combined with the object's scaling matrix. Dividing each value by
the appropriate scaling factor (and transposing at the same time)
produces the original rotation matrix.
For the 'Current Position' values: This is equivalent to Blender's
object matrix except that the last row is omitted and the xyz location
is used in the last column. Binary format uses a 4x3 matrix, ascii
format uses a 4x4 matrix.
For Cameras: The matrix here gets a little confusing, and I'm not sure of
how to handle it.
