Content Development for Wonderland and Immersive Education

4.1.2.4 Install the Blender X3D Exporter Script

One LAST thing. As of this writing, Sun Wonderland imports content in X3D format*.

To export Blender models in the correct format for Sun Wonderland, an additional script is required for Blender. The script is bundled with the supporting materials for this workshop at the following location:

gettingStartedProjWonderland\materials\scripts\X3DExporterScript.py

To install the script, simply copy it to the Blender ~scripts~ directory:

[BLENDER_INSTALL_DIR]/.blender/scripts

*NOTE:At the time of this writing it is expected that an upcoming Project Wonderland release (version 0.5) will utilize a different file format for 3D model import. Once version 0.5 is released, the XML import format for Wonderland will be COLLADA and this step may be ommitted from the system configuration procedure. But, for now, this configuration step is required!
