Description

Project: Blender Extensions
Tracker: Py Scripts Upload
Blender: 2.57
Category: Import Export
Python: 3.2
Script name: Import .pc2
Author(s): Jasper van Nieuwenhuizen
Status: Open

This is an updated version of the old script by Matt Ebb to work with Blender 2.58.1. Also thanks to Bill L. Nieuwendorp and Ivo Grigull for the old and updated versions of the MDD importer.
Copy the script to the addons directory. Now you can activate it as an addon. To import, select an object and go to File > Import > Pointcache (.pc2). Now you can select the .pc2 file and change the amount of frames to offset the animation (if you want to). Press import and you have animated shapekeys on your mesh. The mesh should of course match the original mesh (if you import an .obj, choose "Keep Vert Order") or you get a mess.

Hi,
Due to changes to the api including the merging of bmesh, several addons are outdated.
Please, if you are the author of an addon check your script with blender revision 44256 or newer.
That is builds made After blender 2.62 official release.
I would ask that updates be made to your addon before the Blender 2.63 release.
6-8 weeks away.
This allows time for the api to become more exposed & bmesh to stablize furthur.
If you need help, drop into irc freenode #blenderpython or #blendercoders & feel welcome to ask questions.
At the time of 2.63 release, scripts that are not repaired or in active developement will have their tracker page marked "Closed"
this will not affect your links to the tracker, similar to closing scripts in 2.49b, the page will be still availible & can be re-opened.

Thanks for your understanding & patience during these Exciting Times.
Brendon.

pc2 import should really be merged with pc2 export and uploaded to contrib svn!
