Im sorry, but I have new problem. Im using version "0.3.2" of Blender exporter. So when I converted model and opened it in feathered or in my program it didn't look the same as the .blend model. Here are the files(.blender and .lfm, .lfmg) so you can see where is the problem.

Hi, opaki!

By using blender for modeling you should not use scale for object, only for vertices in edit mode. That is, if you scale your object with "S" you must clear scale with Alt + S (as well ar rotation (Alt + R) and translation (Alt + G) - but thats not so vital).
Or if you want to keep your scale, i.e. apply it to mesh - press Ctrl + A - apply scale and rotation.
Next time if you really need to scale/rotate/tranlate your model - simply go to edit mode with TAB, select all with A and then use tools as usual (S, R, G).
Yes, thats not that easy to get into modeling for game models, but if you ever tried to model in blender and export to any other format - almost all of them dont like object scales as well...

Probably thats not so difficult to add another matrix in exporter for multiply vertex position / normal with object scale / rot / trans... In future version...

Hope this will help to get into modeling for LF
