[Bf-committers] GoZ emulation for Blender

[Paolo Ciccone]

Actually Collada would be too much work, I'm really thinking about single
figure, model/place inside an app, press a button, have that loaded in
Blender, morph it, press another button and go back to the original app with
the morph loaded.
I can write to OBJ fast but Collada opens a whole series of problems. The
issue for me is not the format as much as the automation. I'm wondering if I
can call or control the importer/exporter from Blender in a batch/automated
way.

Thanks.
