hi, there~

just wondering if there were any problem for

blender 2.5.3 to work with unity?

i am currently using blender 2.49b, and thinking

about switch to 2.5.3 because it got the better user

interface but kind worry about it will not work well

with unity.

so~ suggestion anyone

I did it and it works for me. The automatic import into Unity does NOT work yet, but you can use the fbx export in Blender 2.53. I had no problems so far, that were not there with 2.49b.

Personally, I consider that a huge problem. I think somebody said they got it working, but 2.5.3 wouldn’t even respond to my scroll wheel when I turned it on so I just deleted it.

first, thanks for the replies :smile:

second, so the main problem will be no auto-import

for blender file, right?

well, i can live with that.

my concern is would the texture, armature and

animation done in blender work properly in unity~

if there were no such problem then i guess i will

switch to blender 2.5.3.

by the way, what is the problem with the scroll

wheel? is it happen in blender or in unity?

when i try to use blender 2.5.3, all mouse buttons

are working fine, though XD

Hi Jessy
I had the same problem with a scroll wheel (button press with it didn’t work as well), but it was not my one, so it wasn’t a big deal for myself.
Certainly automatic import would be nice. When I tried 2.5, I became comfortable with it. Now I don’t want to change back.
At the end it depends on what you prefer.

I prefer 2.5.x very much, aside from it not being usable!

I’m using Blender 2.5.x (I build my own from SVN) and I have no problems getting assets from Blender to Unity. UVs, animation, armatures, meshes the whole lot goes through.

The only problem I have is Blender being Z-up and Unity being Y-up, a problem I’m slowly but surely fixing in Blender (when my results are perfected I’ll share it with the community).

hope to hear the good news soon :smile:

Why not usable? Did you face other problems? Certainly the auto import for Unity does not yet work, but with that exception I didn’t have problems that were not present in 2.49b.
