v0.3.0

Description

Latest version of the exporter. Blender versions up to 3.6 are now supported. We still recommend using either 3.3 or 3.6 LTS versions for maximal compatibility.

Bug Fixes

v0.2.0

This is a stable release for the Mitsuba Blender add-on.

Officially supported versions of Blender are 2.93 and 3.3

Features

• Export of meshes, simple materials, particle systems, cameras.
• Import of Mitsuba 3 scenes into Blender.

Known issues

• Using this version in Blender 2.93, Ubuntu 22.04 and Mitsuba 3 installed from pip will result in crashes (#81). A potential workaround is to use a local build of Mitsuba (v3.0.1) instead
• Versions of Blender from 3.4 onwards have a different mesh data structure, so the exported meshes will be erroneous.
• Certain versions of blender require that it is run from the command line using the --python-use-system-env flag in order for the pip-installed mitsuba to be detected.

Early Release

This iteration enables export of meshes, lighting, and basic materials from blender to a Mitsuba scene. It is still under development and may be unstable.
