STL sequence not animating #170

Closed mboop127 closed 2 years ago

mboop127 commented 2 years ago

I am using the most recent github release of this library and blender 2.93.5

Steps To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Load attached zip, unzip to folder
load sequence

For me, the sequence loads but does not actually animate. I have confirmed my plugin is working using both test files (horse gallop and hypergrid), and have attempted converting the STLs to OBJ in blender, but the OBJ sequence did not animate either. I may be doing something wrong, or the plugin may be having trouble reading these stls (exported from a program called QBlade).

Any help appreciated!

A few questions:

Can you include the version number of Stop Motion OBJ that you're using? (e.g. 2.1.1 or 2.2.0.beta.0)
Can you take a screenshot of the Import Mesh Sequence window after you've filled everything in and just before you click Select Folder? The test files you sent have no file name prefix (they're all just 0.stl, 1.stl, etc., not mesh_0.stl) so I'm not sure how you're able to import them at all.

Confirmed the issue was no prefixes, once added it worked. Apologies - if it wasn't clear in the docs (it may have been!) you may consider adding that requirement explicitly.
