Evening / Morning all.

I've been searching high and low for an exporter that will export from Blender to Giants 8.2.2. So far the community has been awesome with responses. Either I am not hearing them correctly, they're not explaining it correctly, i'm doing it wrong or it legit just doesn't work. Can someone please help me out?

I assume by blender you mean the newest versions (2.9x)

In that case the official exporter from Giants is out the window and you are left with two choices:

1. https://nld-community.nl/files/file/380-giants-i3d-exporter-for-blender-28/

2. https://github.com/StjerneIdioten/I3D-Blender-Addon/releases/tag/v1.2.0

The first one is an edit by a community member, which makes the official exporter work without throwing errors in blender 2.8+, but it doesn't add any new features and the giants exporter does lack quite a bit of features (such as skinned meshes and mergegroups)

The second one is a completely new exporter that I have built from the ground up, which is in active development and does all the same things as the giants exporter, but with more features (and its faster)
Official support for this addon can be found on the VertexDezign discord. On the landing page of the githhub repository you can also scroll down and find some links to tutorial videos that takes you through the entire process of exporting using this exporter.
