Poses: Not any version of Blender works the best with FH/IT.
I use Blender version 2.49b, and Python 2.6.2, along with certain scripts and versions of OgreCommandLineTools.
I. - Required Downloads & Installation
-If you have newer versions of any of these, move/delete them, they won't work. You MUST have the exact downloads below.
**If you do not have a program that can open .rar files, you'll need 7-Zip.
Python
Blender
Download and install Python and Blender first.
Secondly, you'll need these scripts for Blender.
Exporter
Script Bundle
Once you have the scripts downloaded, you'll need to EXTRACT the contents, and copy them to the scripts folder, located in
C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts
OR
C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts
Conclusively, you'll need the
Old OgreCommandLineTools.
Pass: ITOCLT
Once you have downloaded the .rar, extract it directly to your C: drive. Don't worry, there is a folder inside the rar, so extracting it directly won't cause the contents to spill all over your C: drive.
While you can use other versions, the setup above is the one I find the easiest.
OgreCommandLineTools isn't a plugin for Blender, it works on it it's own, so don't worry about trying to add it in.
You need to navigate to wherever your OCLT are, and drag+drop the mesh and skeleton onto the Converter.exe.
This gives you .xml files for both the mesh and skeleton.
You can use the XML importer script to import these into Blender.
