This version is obsolete. Please select Dark Exporter 2 in the left side menu.Dark Exporter is a Blender 3D plugin for exporting models to Dark Engine format. It was initially written for Thief 1/Gold in mind, but it was verified to work properly also for Thief 2 engine.The project is maintained on Sourceforge:

Features:

• • Supported materials: double-sided, transparent, self-illuminated

  • Supported shaders: FLAT, GOURAUD, PHONG

  • Documentation: http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/darkexporter/

  • BSP optimization options

Recent News:

Due to lack of time this project hasn't been active for a long time. The current version works only with Blender 2.5x which is out of date now. The Blender development team has introduced many changes to the new 2.6x branch. It's always great news to all Blender artists. However some of the changes are in conflict with the way Dark Exporter works. I've decided to rewrite Dark Exporter. It's not gonna be an update. It will be a brand new plugin that solves many problems of the previous version and takes advantage of newly implemented functions of Blender.

I hope to announce the new version this year.
