[Bf-python] Blender and UE4 compatibility

[Josh Beresford]

To all the Python scripters and Graphics lovers out there, I would like to
bring your attention to the latest innovation of the next generation of
Game development.
Recently Epic released their Unreal Engine 4 for the world to use(
https://www.unrealengine.com/), This innovation was outstanding and has
sparked hundreds if not thousands of kids to start building there own
computer games and release them.
However Software like 3DS and Maya max are currently the only Software that
are able to stably create content for it.

I Put to all of you amazing, interesting and gifted people to build a
solution to solve this problem.

Blenders current .FBX export option is in desperate need for updating, As
well as falling behind in terms of PhysX development (Available as a free
to use SDK via (http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx_downloads.html) Meaning
Integration shouldn't be impossible.

Lets not let blender be another option for the next Generation of game
engines, Lets make blender the Only option.

Hi Josh,

Discussion about this is happening on bf-gamedev mailing list.

http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-gamedev/2014-May/000239.html

Just to note we have 2 developers working on this (part time),

Bastien Montagne - updating FBX support.
Mitchell Stokes - joined us recently to help testing troubleshooting
different engines (including Epic's engine)

So check nightly builds which include the updated exporter and report
any bugs you find in our tracker.
