issue with subsurface modifier

[delepoulle]

When a modifier is used, the mesh is not exported correctly unless the modifier is apply and the mesh turn in edit mode.

I use blender 2.82. The exporter work but if I use the subsurface modifier :

• if I don't apply it, the exporter dont use it (why not ?)
• if I apply it, many part of the mesh are not exported ! I read the pbrt file produced and the number of vertex is not changed !
• if I turn into edit mode, the mesh is now exported correctly

I think there is the same problem with many (all ?) modifier. A very cool solution would to have a checkbox like "apply modifier before export" in order to keep the modifiers in the blend file.

Hi, thank you for reporting the issue, it's the way I'm accessing the mesh that causes it. I have seen this problem before. I will prioritize this fix now and get it sorted. It's not good that it exports the way it does now, it needs to be fixed.

I have pushed some fixes for this now. Please give the latest version a test and reply back.

I've just test it and it's great ! The modifiers are now exported into the pbrt scene. Thanks a lot, I will appreaciate to use this fantastic plugin. As I think the problem is solved, I close the thread.
