Blender to IQM
==============

h2. Blender when exporting to IQM

h3. Needed/Example files
 \* Bounding Box for Stand and Crouch: http://dev.xonotic.org/attachments/download/33/bbox\_crouch\_stand.zip
 \* Erebus example blend: http://dev.xonotic.org/attachments/download/291/erebus.blend
 \* Erebus example framegroups: http://dev.xonotic.org/attachments/download/292/erebus.iqm.framegroups
 \* Link to exporter: http://sauerbraten.org/iqm/

h3. Before You Start
 \* use the bbox.blend in order to see the size that your model should be. Iqm exporter scale function untested.
 \* use the duck\_bbox.blend in order to see the size that your model should be when crouching.
 \* for more information on bbox size refer to div0’s model specs [[Player\_Model\_Spec]]
 \* naming conventions for textures and model go as follow assuming the example is the umbra model: modelname: umbra.iqm, framegroups: umbra.iqm.framegroups, textures: umbra.tga or (jpg), umbra\_norm.tga, umbra\_gloss.tga, (need to add more)

h3. Exporting
 \# Select both mesh and armature in object mode.
 \# Go to scripts \> export \> inter-quake-model.
 \# Now make sure bounding boxes and meshes are both highlighted in the script window.
 \# Export to a file path of your choosing, /path/to/umbra.iqm. Put the names of all the animations in the animations box, using commas for multiple anims. Then hit the export button and hopefully it will work without any errors.
 \# Your model will need a .framegroups file to be used in Xonotic, look at the example file at the beginning of this article or check the [[Framegroups]] section of this wiki.
