problem saving/exporting

[joseratur]

First of all I would like to say that Makehuman software is excellent.
Second, I’m a newbie but I’ve spend several hours digging into the forum and I’ve didn’t found it, so if by chance the same problem is on another disc. I demand to the Admin to put the link page as an answer please.
I run windows 7 64 bits, and downloaded the last version of Makehuman (1.0 alpha 5.1).
When I start the application I’ve get on the log “import site failed; use –v for traceback” (don’t know if it is normal or not)
The problem is that when I tried to save, nothing happens… only get an UnicodeEncodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t encode character u’\xe9’ in position 12:
original out not in range<128>
Same thing exporting to .obj
Exporting in .dae LookupError: no codec searsh functions registred: can’t find encoding

I have ascii installed, as I’ve saw it on another post… the srange is that Makehuman 0.9.1 works fine… but I would like to upgrade…
All that I need is to export in .obj to work with a third-party software.
Thank you for your time

The latest version is alpha 5.1b (http://code.google.com/p/makehuman/down ... _win32.exe), the previous versions had unicode issues.

[joseratur]

same problem... the one that works is .mhx

[mflerackers]

Can you post a complete trace?

[joseratur]

ok this is it... a simple character with only one change (gender) and export to .obj...

I hope that helps...
As I've told you I have Aqsis installed...
Thank you for your help

[mflerackers]

The mh2obj.py has been changed by now

+from os.path import basename

-f.write('mtllib ' + filename + '.mtl\n')
+f.write('mtllib ' + basename(filename) + '.mtl\n')

It's in the nightly and svn, but wasn't fixed in 5.1b yet.

The aqsis renderer has changed more than a few lines, so I can't immediately say which lines to change/

[joseratur]

do you have some idea what's going on? do i keep hopping to have a solution?
thanks

[mflerackers]

Is obj export still failing with the latest nightly build?

[joseratur]

It works... thanks...
