Big Problem with Blender for Mesh convert

calimax · Post by **calimax** » Sat May 06, 2006 9:44 pm

My problem is that I want to use Blender for modelling butI don't manage to convert my mesh in format .mesh
I have seen that I must use OgreXMLconvert but I can't found it ...
And for exportinf files ine xml format I have downloaded the mesh exporter but it says : " can't import pickle module"

I hope that you could help me

If you haven't got OGRE compiled and ready, you need to download the command line tools, which includes the XmlConverter.
Do edit the python script to point to whereever you install the tools.

The Pickle module is from the standard Python library, not the internal Blender mini-Python:
Install Python 2.4 - and provide an environment variable called PYTHON_HOME, pointing to the newly created python directory.

does the file say cube or is the model a cube?

This is not a problem: just model your models, select them and export.

There are instructions in the readme.html with the Blender exporter, and guidance in the OGRE Wiki.

If you want to learn how to use Blender for OGRE modeling, consider the Dungeon Hack Tutorials.
(You'll be able to find the topic by browsing the A&C Forum).

In fact when I want to choose in the panel of the xmlexporter I can only choose "cube" I click to update but nothing happen

Finally I've managed to view my model in ogre but it is very low quality , there is aliasing and it doesn't look 3D

Thanks for the tuts I will try I hope it isn't too difficult because for the moment I begin to try to use ogre all is difficult

...

SDL was so simple why don't he makes 3D

That panel only let you choose objects that are selected in the 3D View to set the animation export options for that object. All objects that are selected in Blender's 3D View get exported.

Ok thanks you're right

now I've again two other problems

(my problems have no end

)...

I've read the readme and another tutorial but I don't manage to make an animation with my mesh ... I export my mesh in the xml format and a squeleton file but it doesn't seems to work when I put these 2 elements on the ogrxmlconverter ...;

Problem number 2

I don't manage to add textures to my meshes, I think I must use material files but I don't manage to export material files in blender because I can't select it

Thanks for helping me and I hope that I am not too boring

with my problems...
