Hello, Is Blender exporter being maintained? This is a crucial tool for the engine, since I plan to evaluate and create app instances from `.babylon` scene elements. Last commit in Github repo is from 2 years ago. **Blender version:** 4.3.2 **Blender2Babylon version:** 3.3x.zip I don’t see the exporter panel after clicking on `File` → `Export` → `Babylon.js ver 3.3.2` Am I missing something? I’m trying to export a simple scene and I get these errors: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/8/c/8c32514dbb66d18fb5d41f63a3d94d351f6ae704.png) ---

Duplicated, following this thread: [Install Blender exporter failed in blender 3.3.2 - #7 by Joshua](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/install-blender-exporter-failed-in-blender-3-3-2/47164/7) ---

Generally, I would directly use Blender’s glTF exporter. ---

But I’m trying to export a whole scene, I’m not sure glTF is the right format for a scene with all its components. ---

Yeah if it is more than camera, light and mesh then yes babylon is better for sure. We may need to ask @JCPalmer what he believes is the issue ---

I have decided to hang up the keyboard & mouse, so I will not continue with the exporter, sorry. Changes for 4.x were too great for zero benefit ---
