A XAML Exporter for Blender
The Blender export script was created to make it easy to get 3D models into the XAML format for use in WPF applications. The limitations is that only certain Blender items can be exported such as 3D Models, Materials, Textures and Lamps. The script has been tested with Blender version 2.71 and 2.79 installed on Windows. It may work on other versions but has not yet been tested.
INSTALL
You can use the Blender user preferences window to import the script into blender. The “io_export_xaml.py” script needs to be placed in the “C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons” directory, depending on your install location and Blender version.
ENABLE
To enable the script: Open Blender. From the “File” menu select “User Preferences”. From the User Preferences dialog select the Add-ons tab. Filter the list by selecting the Import-Export Category. Scroll to the bottom of the list and check the Import-Export: XAML format (.xaml) list item. Save User Settings.
EXPORT
Once installed and enabled it should be available in the “File >> Export” list.
EXPORT OPTIONS
