DeleD Community Edition

Anyone know if there is an exporter that can do the standard dmf + normals?
I'm finding the other plugin's way too complex.

or is there a really simply exporter?

that has texture name
vertex coords
text coords
normal coords

The simplest text file formats I know of are .OBJ and .X.

If you want to use DeleD, you can easily calculate the normals yourself. If you have three vertices A, B and C for a triangle, then the triangle normal is simply:

N = normalize(cross((B - A), (C - A)));

Make sure that the three vertices do not line up (as in, form a straight line). In that case, the triangle is degenerate and the normal calculation will not give proper results.

An import detail here is that DeleD itself does not actually manage normals (yet), so there is no use trying to write a specific exporter for them (as there is no data to export).
