# Panda3D BAM Exporter

This is a Blender plugin to export models to the `.bam` format, which can be loaded
into the <a href="https://github.com/panda3d/panda3d" target="_blank">Panda3D</a> engine.

It provides several advantages over <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/09th/YABEE">YABEE</a> (which
is an exporter for the `.egg` format), mainly speed and smaller exported files.

### Installation

You need to clone the repositority, since it uses a submodule which will not be 
included when you use the `Download ZIP` button.

After cloning, make sure to execute `git submodule init` and then `git submodule update`.

Alternatively, you can clone the repository using the `recursive` option:

`git clone --recursive https://github.com/tobspr/Panda3D-Bam-Exporter.git`

### Usage

If you want the preview to work, you need to start the RenderPipeline's render service.
It is located in `$RenderPipelineDirectory$/toolkit/render_service/service.py`.

After you installed the plugin, you should have an entry `File > Export > Panda3D (.bam)`.
You can also use the quick search, press `space` and then type `bam`.

If you click that entry, a standard exporter window will open, with several options
in the lower left.

**TODO:** Write wiki entry about export options.
