No. It is not the correct version. Found and downloaded the required version, 2.5, but cannot seem to install it.
I am using windows 7, if that is any help.

I was a little disheartened, as I originally downloaded the newest Blender, which could import 3ds files, but not export them as ase, read through the thread, located the answer, thanks, re-installed the older blender and now I have this python issue.

Have you uninstalled the previous version of python?

I have Autodesk 3ds 2011. I am trying to make models to import into Alice for a summer engineering/ computer science camp that I'm counseling/teaching at. My problem is that whenever I export a model as a .ase file and import into Alice, my colors do not show unless I have only a single color or bitmap. Is there some way to get around this? Thanks.

Unfortunately Alice does not support multi-subobject mapping. What you'll have to do is either unwrap everything into a single large texture atlas, or separate each material ID group so they can individually use their relative texture slots.

I use the latter because it's faster and less of a pain, but in terms of programming efficiency you should make large texture atlases. For an example you can see my B-17 Flying Fortress or my Crysis 1 VTOL. There I detached polys from each element further based on their material ID. Unfortunately doing this is a lot of tedious work in Alice.

You can increase the visual quality slightly by going into the Seldom Used Properties and changing specular and emissive properties. They just add a little shine, but it's far better than all of your properties being matte.

Thanks. I'll try that.

I downloaded your Weapons.a2w.
But I cant import it in Alice 2.2??

You don't import .a2w files.

You just open Alice, then go to File>Open World and choose weapons.a2w.

Hi,

This video tutorial is more useful for people to aware of import the object. And also the video tutorial is online very much useful for people. Thanks I will try for that.

I got some useful information about import the object.

I could only find a biturn version 0.37 i think and it doesnt have the option of converting the .obj to .ASE. I tried the myrex.com (i think thats the name) website and i couldnt download it from there. Anywhere i can download biturn 0.87 directly?
