Unity 5.5_b07 is no longer importing .blend files from Blender 2.78

Hi,

I thought I would give Unity 5.5 a try lastnight to also give Physx3.3 a go.

Unfortunately it seems to have broken the blender import.

I also run, 5.3.4, 5.3.5, 5.4.0, 5.4.1, 5.4.2 of which all work fine with my current build of Blender 2.78.

Testing with the Blender default cube and in Object mode.

Unity Message : -

Blender could not convert the .blend file to FBX file.
You need to use Blender 2.45-2.49 or 2.58 and later versions for direct Blender import to work.

Just to update.


I have fully updated my PC and installed Unity 5.5_b08, and re-installed a clean copy of Blender 2.78.


I have also checked the MSVCR120.dll and it is bang up to date. Still getting the same error.


Still working fine on previous version of unity 5.4.2 backwards.


Removed the Blender version of the DLL so it used the windows one, same error in Event Viewer.

Tested with single monitor setup as well, same problem.


Also Tested on another machine, I get the same errors.


Acer Aspire Laptop 9300.


Could it be an AMD issue.



Thanks

Hi All,

Just tested all the above on an Intel I7 and all works fine.

Could very well be the AMD Phenom 2 architecture.

I am upgrading soon anyway, so should be fine.

Thanks

Reply from Unity Bug Reports.

Well it appears this issue has something to do with Windows 7, as that is the only environment that it was reproducible here. Even so, I have sent it through to the developers for further investigation. When, or if this may be fixed, I cannot say.


Obviously, a workaround for now would be to save elsewhere and then import into Unity, or export as a different format entirely. Or, another option is, of course, to upgrade to Windows 10, leading to the issue being irrelevant.
