Structure Synth simple exporter template

Here’s a simple export template for Structure Synth that produces easy-to-parse output. Save the file linked below in Structure Synth’s misc directory. Note that there is a limitation in the 0.8.5 version of Structure Synth (a small buglet, actually) that prevents RGB data for line primitives from being available to a render template.

Output format:

  1. lines starting with ‘#’ are comments
  2. tokens are simple ascii strings separated by whitespace
  3. primitives are output one per line, and start with one of: “box”, “sphere”, “grid”, “line”, or “dot”, followed by an object name
  4. box primitives specify a floating-point RGBA value, followed by the elements of a 4×4 transformation matrix
  5. grid primitives have the same format as box primitives
  6. sphere primitives specify an RGBA color value, the 3D coordinates of the sphere, and the radius of the sphere
  7. line primitives specify an alpha value (no color available info available at this time), and the starting and ending 3D coordinates of the line (from, to)
  8. dot primitives specify an RGBA color value, and the 3D coordinates of the dot
