Blender 2.8 OpenGL Buffer Exporter

mesh_c_io_export.py

# roxlu - 2019-08-04 - Blender 2.8
# ------------------------------------------------
# Very basic script that exports the vertices of the selected object
# to a .h and .cpp that you can use into your graphics app directly.
# Vertices are rotated to Y-up, -Z forward, following common OpenGL.
#
#
# Version:
# ------------------------------------------------
# v0.0.0  - 2019-08-04:   First release 
#
# Reference:
# ------------------------------------------------
