I'll go over the initial setup within UDK, the setup with Blender, and then go through the…

   This kind of thinking is pretty common but if you think about it you can make this really easy on yourself even if you exporting individual pieces. UDK places the object's control handle at the origin based in whatever 3d program you used. So if you built a complex object in Maya for example, and then exported each piece…

   Excellent script man! The t3d export is a must. I suggest you tu post it over blender artist forum and UDN to gain visibility. This script is gold.

   Thanks for the feedback! At the moment I'm working on modifying the script to interface with Unity. I will look into adding a scale input box. I chose a scale of 50 because Blender and utgame has a 1:50 scale ratio, and I wanted each blender unit to be 1m. Until I get around to adding the UI element, you can set the…
