Bah. I have blender also, but I don't understand how python and the OGRE export work together in the NEWSET version of Blender. :33 If someone could help meh with that, I would give you KARMA! :3 Or a preset, map, marking, or object {Made in blender xD}

I don't use blender, so i can't help right now.
I will try it.
but seems the exporter for 2.5 doesn't exist, only for 2.49.
i'm looking for the blender 2.49.

Derp Ok xDDD And what about the python-ness?

[Thierry]

i have succefully installed blender with ogre exporter (in windows)

1 download and install blender 2.49b at blender-249. direct link: blender-2.49b-windows.exe

2 download exporter Blender+Exporter or direct link: BlenderExport.zip and unzip the file.

3 copy ogremeshesexporter.py, ogrehelp, and ogrepkg and paste where blender is installed at ...\blender\.blender\scripts.


4 download and install python 2.6
or direct link:
for x86 computers: python-2.6.msi
for x86-64 computers: python-2.6.amd64.msi

now open blender and export your model.
i assume you know how to export at blender and basic usage of blender.
don't ask me how to use blender, i have never used it before. simply click file->export->ogre meshes and use intuition.

OMG i have forget, not all people are ogre experts and have OgreXmlConverter. well...
at now we have the converted blender model to xml, is correct?
we need to convert from xml to mesh:

5 download OgreXmlConverter or direct link: OgreCommandLineTools_1.6.3.msi

drag and drop the .xml file in to OgreXmlConverter.exe and surprise!

you have a .mesh file!

if at some step I was not very clear, please let me know.

[Jayfeather55]

I'll try it naow!

to the path?

[Thierry]

to the path?

the path where your blender is installed
ex:
c:\programfiles\blender\.blender\scripts.

[Piebaby]

Oh I don't have scripts in my file

that is rare.
search the folder with the asistant (press F3 at desktop), maybe you aren't looking for at the right place.
if you don't find it, i will test again my tutorial.
