Blender 2.80 and higher

Doesn't appear to be compatible with 2.80, any chance of an update? The new 2.8 interface is sexy stuff 🥇

Just some rough points of what that would entail:

  • Blender 2.80 organizes objects in collections instead of layers. A large part of what this addon does is selecting objects from layers and funneling them into the right exporter. That would have to be rewritten to fit with Blender 2.80 collections.
  • The texture handling should use Blender's new Principled BSDF shader because that probably maps 1:1 to SE's PBR renderer and would allow to use Blender's new real-time renderer Eevee.
  • Some Blender Python APIs have changed or have become stricter
  • It's probably hard to automatically upgrade existing .blend files

EDIT: It should be noted that Blender 2.79 will remain available, so this addon does not become unusable in the forseeable future.

I feared that. But than it is good that i work on a fork of 0.7.0, to get the best out of 2.79 and the plugin. Don't know too less about that stuff to make more (didn't know anything about python and blender api a week ago).
