Differences in obj export between versions? - fencepost52 - 10-06-2016
I don't know if this qualifies as an actual bug, but I've noticed strange behavior between obj files generated by versions 1.5.3 and 1.5.4/and newer, unstable versions.
I use Bryce for rendering my models. Bryce always smooths a model upon import, which is what it should do, and each time the file is opened, the model should be smooth unless un-smoothed by the user. While using versions 1.5.4 and above, the model comes in smooth as intended, but each time the Bryce file is opened thereafter, the model is un-smooth. I tested models from 1.5.3 and they do not have this issue.
Was there a change in how obj files are generated between versions?
Thanks for your help. Please let me know if you need more information.
Cheers!

I checked this and from what I can see the exporters is untouched since 2009 (wings-1.1.9).
So that is strange, and something else might have changed, but is more difficult to find.
I have just fixed the normal exports in collada (dae), so maybe you can use that format instead?

Thanks for looking into this. I *think* I may have discovered the problem. I had 2 versions of Wings installed on my system at the same time. Once I went removed one of the versions, everything works as it should. Models created when 2 versions were installed still unsmooth themselves. Not sure why this happens, but at least it's *resolved*. Thanks again.

Maybe Mark had changed something in Manifolds labs plugin version of wings?
RE: Differences in obj export between versions? - fencepost52 - 10-16-2016
No, I didn't have the Manifolds lab version installed. It was an unstable release with a regular release. Was trying out the new features.
Couple of off-topic questions.
Is the manifold site down? Every time I try to go to the site, I get a "freely-donate.html" file that automatically downloads to my system.
Is there a way to donate to the Wings cause? I like the program and would like to give a little bit to the developers in appreciation.
Thanks, Art

Thanks for your offer.
Björn pays for the site and don't want any money, I still have a day time job so I manage
(and the tax system in Sweden is a mess).
I'll let Micheus speak for himself.
If I ever need some money for hardware or license I will put up a donation link on the front page, so remember your offer i.e. if I get fired in a month or so.. :-)
Also we code because it is fun, sometimes I loose interest and a take a break for a half/year or so. Now my kids have grown up so I have more spare time again and it have been fun for the last year.
If you really really want to by me a beer, you can use paypal dangud (a) gmail.com
Manifold lab is ggaliens project, he comes and goes..
