hi,
I'm currently writing an export script for a custom 3D-format (used in my own game). Until now, it works fine for Polygon Objects, but i've got no Idea how to deal with Spline and Point objects. To be precise, I didnt know what a Spline is until today (I'm more the programmer type, the models are created by my graphics-person). As I see it (correct me, if there is another way), I will have to convert the Spline (a kind of curve isnt it?) to a polygon object, but the Coffee SDK isnt a great help at this point.
The other thing is the point object, because... if it is just points, what could you see there an therefore export? Blank vertices are unvisible I think...
Could someone give a hint?thanks
Kroxps: well, excuse my bad english^^

A spline is a spline.
Just open any college or general math book and look up something like Bezier curve - that is the type of thing that splines are based upon. They are procedural objects - you can't convert a spline to a polygon object. Splines are only useful if you intend on supporting them in the game for some reason.If you don't need them, don't export them. If they are used in a physical representation (hair or part of a generator for instance), you'll need to convert that representation into a polygon object using CurrentStateToObject (this is a modeling command - but forget how to do it with COFFEE).

okay... my script seems working for the moment, but one little questions remain: Where is the difference between an object's local and global matrix ? (the return values of obj->GetMg() and obj->GetMl())
