1.42 - Blender 4.1 Update
Hey, this release is just to catch Capsule up to the latest API and exporter changes inside Blender 4.1
This release should only be used with Blender 4.1.
Special Notes
For a few of the Export File Types you may see a few options have moved or their names changed slightly, either due to API updates or as part of me trying to best organize and keep the menus easy to read and understand. In this update this warning mainly applies to GLTF.
GLTF currently doesn't export Color Attributes unless they are used in one of it's materials. This was a design mistake the GLTF exporter devs made and it will be fixed in Blender 4.2 but please keep this in mind (personally I just use UVs when I want to pack weird data into my models).

API Updates
GLTF
In the last few releases GLTF has gotten a crazy amount of new export features and Capsule now has feature parity (more or less).
Around 15 new properties have been added from the most recent GLTF exporter updates, mostly focused on Animation and Rigging (which now gets it's own tab).
The only option to not be added from 4.1 is "Full Collection Hierarchy" as it's broken in 4.1 and doesn't export the collection hierarchy that's contextual to the objects or collections being exported.
STL
Capsule now uses the new re-written STL exporter introduced in 4.1, and a "Batch Individually" option was added.
USD
Five new properties were added:
- Export Armatures
- Only Include Deform Bones
- Export Shapekeys
- Subdivision Schema
- Root Primitive Path
Alembic
- Changed "Export Vertex Colors" to "Export Color Attributes" to match Blender's removal of the term.
- Evaluation Mode now defined as "Use Settings For" to match the exporter and other exporter terminology.
---
Known Bugs
- Sometimes when creating Capsule Data an "Area not found in screen" error will appear.
- On rare occasions, changing settings in the 3D View for Collection Exports will not change the associated data shown in the Properties > Scene Panel.
