ok, sounds good. I'd be real interested in such a new exporter. I've always used it together with blender for pretty much every model I made for 3dgs in the last 2 or 3 years.

Started trying blender 2.5, and I'm loving it already. the Interface is much, much better, though it'll take time getting used to, and I can't exactly say why I like it so much better. but it IS better. and it looks better as well.
