SceneLoader-Import of Spotlight causes error

[ghost]

I am trying to import a whole scene from Blender, what fails if the (spot)lights are included. Details about the issue can be found here (stackoverflow).

Details: Ubuntu 12.04, Nvidia GeForce GT 330M, Blender 3.69, all browsers

See 1cb9e9c

The code should at least run if light.target is replaced with light.target.position. Of course, it still needs to be tested.

I digged a bit deeper in that and found the following:

1. the fix suggested above works, so no errors occur any longer
2. I created a basic scene in Blender and exported, but the positions of the lights are wrong. After some playing around I noticed that the coordinates are not flipped correctly if »flip y and z« is enabled, so the y-coordinate seems to be negative in the result (I used only Spot- and Point-lights for tests)
3. If I rename the Camera from »Camera« to something different (in Blender 2.69), the export fails and no js file is generated
4. all in all everything works pretty nice and its a pleasure to use!

Just to precise that I just tested today and this bug is still here... Should I provide a pull-request ?

@metal3d go for it!

Ok, I will do both fixes:

• change loader
• modify Blender exporter to invert some coord + get the default Camera (I understood why sometimes the camera is not used... that's when Camera is not the selected objet when export is launched...)

I will try this tonight (it's 11:00am here in France)

Exuse my bad english, sometimes I'm typing very fast and I don't re-read what I write...

Arrrrgh I was working on master branch... just realized that SceneLoader disapeard in "dev" branch (git log says that it's moved to examples - #4739). That means that I should do some big changes...

[mrdoob]

Actually. I removed SceneLoader completely... It's way too hard to maintain :S

Maybe should keep it for some releases still, but it's buggy.
We need to focus on the new file format and write new/clean exporters for Blender.
