Hi! I updated your code. I include support of BufferGeometry and support of AMD, common.js and ES6 modules. Also I published npm package and added you to contributors in package.json. https://github.com/atnartur/three-STLexporter

Hi! All I get is scene.traverse is not a function...
Do you have any idea why?
(using revision 81)

I've modified the OBJ Exporter to incorporate bones, and morph data like this one, only it uses bufferGeometry instead of the standard Geometry type
https://gist.github.com/jcarletto27/35b19f811c657ec73b0238d78413f88d

atnartur's version converts the BufferGeometry to geometry which loses all the bone and morph data, this version works with them directly. Either version should work depending on your needs.

I manipulate the positions of my meshes before exporting, but they all appear centered in the output STL.
Any way to get the proper positions in the STL?
Thanks

could some one help, i'm trying to make poser, where i have a fbx file send to three js and then via transform controller i i create poses, and i want to export the result . i tried this code and still did not work
