Something wrong with the xml/g3d exporter?

[erandur]

Don't know where exactly the problem lies, since I export it from 3DS max to .obj. Import it in blender (where everything is still fine). Export it to .xml then, and convert it to .g3d. But the .g3d is... well... 'wrong' it goes rotated 90° towards the ground (so it lies on the ground, in most of the cases).

Any suggestions on how to fix that? Pretty hard to imagine mushroom people coming out of giant mushrooms that lie on the ground...

You need to rotate the model in blender so that it is facing the right way. The easiest way to do this is to import an original Glest model and align your model with it.

The right way? that might get tricky, as it's completely symmetric...

Just import a model. It comes out the way your models should be pointing.

in blender you must press "numpad 7".
This is the orientation you will see it in glest.

In other words, 7 is the front in blender when you export to g3d.

Aah, lovely, thanks.

Because Blender and OpenGL/Glest have different orientated coordinate systems  
Means that xyz isnt xyz in the other one but maybe x,-z,y...
something like that

BTW, How can I set Blender to export let's say.. only 1 frame?

[wciow]

In blender press F10 then under the animations tab set the end frame to 1. This is what the export script reads when it exports your model.

Or go to the render panel.
