Monstrous noob-a-saurus here, but I'm hoping to join the community here very soon. Anywho, I have a python/Blender/Makehuman/Collada/dumby McDumb Dumb issue. We will start with the fact I am working off of Windows...more specifically the beloved XP home edition. I downloaded Blender, downloaded Truespace 7.6, downloaded Makehuman, downloaded the current Python 2.5.2, downloaded the Blender plugin for Collada, downloaded some music for me, and built some shiney happy people in Makehuman. Now I have exported the models in .dae form successfully from Makehuman. I boot up the mythical Blender and click on file --> Import --> Collada 1.4, only to be greeted by, "CANNOT FIND FOLDER: Please set path in file 'colladaImport14.py'" Sweet Odin's Ravins!!!!
So I do what the previous fellow does and uninstall and reinstall Blender. No good. So then I Copy and past my mesh.dae file into the Blender folder...no go. Then I download the current Python to see if it is a scripting error. I shortly realize later that I'm a noobasaurus and begin to cry when I can't figure out python. So I download the current Collada plugin for Blender and hope the Blender understands my intentions. When I get the same message again, I begin to cry and tell the computer where the folder is. I then realize that my computer doesn't understand speech, so I copy and paste the Collada file into the Blender script folder found in the .blend folder. I then rub my hands manicly and try to import again. No cigar. So if anyone can tell me why Blender doesn't want my shiny happy people to hold hands....that would be great.
Anyone with the intention of helping me should understand that I have the computing powers of a very small monkey. Short from flinging my own poo, I have figured somethings out. I would, however, like to request from the most Noble and dare I say possibly sexy person that wants to help me that if they are going to type computer stuff to me, do so in the manner as though you had been soundly struck in the face with a shovel after drinking twenty nine bottles of mai-tais, and were trying to explain it to a small monkey. I think I should understand that. Or at the very least give me the special-ed version.
Well thanks again for the help my jiggedy g-funk chilley cheese dog home skillet brew slice. Peace, I'm outee.
