System Information
Windows XP 32 bit, Windows 7 64bit
Blender Version
Broken: Blender 2.69
Worked: Blender 2.68 and before
When saving a model while still in Edit Mode, exporting .blend files directly into Unity engine result in an error inside unity:
"Blender could not convert the .blend file to FBX file.
You need to use Blender 2.45-2.49 or 2.58 and later versions for direct Blender import to work."
Everything works fine if I save my model in object mode. This did not happen in previous Blender versions. Tried it with similar results Unity 4.2.2 and 4.3
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
1 Import the file in a new Unity project.
2 See the error in Unity console.
3 Open the blend file, press tab to exit edit mode. Save the file.
4 Open Unity editor again. This time the model should have imported correctly.
