Hi,
I wanted to export an .i3d file out of blender according to tutorial. I am trying to export a simple cube with no material but its not working. I get following error when I press export all: "list index out of range" I am able to export with unofficial exporter but i'm curious why this is not working with giants exporter?
I use Blender version 3.3.1 and addon version 9.1.0

thanks

Have you saved the Blender file before exporting?

Are you using the (Export All) or (Export Selected) option?

If (Export All), what are the other objects?

Try creating a material and then export.

I export i3d files with Blender 3.6.9.

I have saved and also tried to restart Blender and PC. I tried to both export all and export selected with the cube selected.

Initially I had a few objects but now just testing with creating a blank project and just adding a cube with material or without and trying to export it with no luck. I think I'm going to try reinstalling and maybe with different Blender version.

Hello Matias Pr (Matsk),
Do you have more than one version of the i3d Exporter active?
Did you try adding add a material?
Did you set the (Game Location) for Farming Simulator 22?
Copy the full error message if possible from the Blender INFO screen.

Hello David
I made sure i only have one exporter active and added a material.
I tried 3 exports when I first I press "Export All" . Then I try "Export Selected" (not selecting anything) and exporting a file worked but there's nothing in it. Then I select the cube + material and try "Export Selected and I get error again
Here is a screenshot from blender with setting and log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19X-Yahak3gsR6Mo6wwu8cOAUdG9Yw3F1/view

Hello Matias Pr (Matsk),

When it exported with the message "SUCCESS Export time is 0.47 seconds", did you try opening the i3d file?

Is the material you created just a standard Blender material or one with the textures added?
If the textures are added, there is one more step to do.

Have you watched these videos? Chapter 3 is about materials. https://gdn.giants-software.com/videoTutorials2.php

Do you have any Scene Collections that are un-checked?

hi All
sorry for little hijack.
I wanted to create thread for my issues but it is not getting created. Are there any restrictions on creating new threads or just my account is broken somehow?

hello
An update to Blender Exporter Plugins is planned in the near future, which would fully work with blender 4.1 and newer.
Thank you for your reply

Hello everyone,

I know that this post is old, but I came here today looking for a solution because I had the same problem/error message with Blender 4.2 LTS and the new i3d exporter for Giants editor 10.

If it also happens for you that you already checked ALL of the above tips and you still get the error, I found out 2 additional things which in the end helped to solve the issue for me:
1. The exporter seems to have an issue (sometimes?) if you have more than one "root" collection in your Blender file. So put all of your collections into one parent collection and see if that works.

2. If that also doesn't help, you can try it with a new Blender file: Save your work in a *.blend file, then create a new blend-file with File > New... Then import your objects or collections from your previous file by using the File > Append... menu. In the append dialog, navigate to you previously saved *.blend file and import the objects/collections from that file.
Redo the exporter settings in the new file and try the export again. For me, that worked.
You could also do that step by step and not import all of your objects at once to find out which one is causing the issues.

Kind Regards,
Nadine
