Importing from Blender without deprecated classes JMEBinaryReader

Hello All,



I am trying to import models from blender, and I've seen some threads on this forum as well as this tutorial:



http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/wiki/doku.php?id=importing_models_from_blender



However, the code in the wiki and the discussions I've found here seem to all use the deprecated class JMEBinaryReader.  My questions are:



1)  Is there a way to import the xml file generated by heevee's blender script without using deprecated code?



2)  Is there an alternate way to import from Blender?  I tried 3ds, but that seems to generate some odd material changes.





Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

you will have to use BinaryImporter… something like this:(here I use to load a 3DS model, but you can use XML from blender, just replacing MaxToJme with XMLtoBinary)


        // define the location
        URL modelToLoad = CriaLaboratorioCentral.class.getClassLoader().getResource(
                    "modelos/PIAS.3DS");
           
        Node modelo = new Node();
           
        try {
            //Max Converter
            MaxToJme C1 = new MaxToJme();
            //Output ByteArray
            ByteArrayOutputStream BO = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            //converts
            C1.convert(new BufferedInputStream(modelToLoad.openStream()), BO);
           
            //Here is What you have to do.... Use BinaryImporter
            modelo = (Node)BinaryImporter.getInstance().load(new ByteArrayInputStream(BO.toByteArray())); <


           
            //model Bound
            modelo.setModelBound(new OrientedBoundingBox());
            modelo.updateModelBound();

        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Ops, exceptions...:" + e);
            e.printStackTrace();
        }



I hope that it helps you...
any question... you can post here...  ;)  ;)

BinaryImporter + XML = no



yes it's deprecated but its still there at this point expressly to support the xml format

Oh… yes… sorry…  XD

Yeah, you can still use it deprecated...  :)

Yes, basically until there is a XMLImporter/Exporter that extends JMEImporter/Exporter you'll have to deal with the deprecation warnings.
