Wanted: Cinema 4D Exporter for Mesh, Animation and Material

Post by simply »

First the question: Is there anywhere such a Cinema4D to OGRE format exporter available? I love this software, I think it is the most user-friendly 3d modeling and animating tool, and it comes with Bodypaint3D, the best texturing tool. :)

If not, and I know it's cheeky, has anyone the time and is fancy to take the challenge to write one? I would if i could, but I don't know how to do...

I agree that BodyPaint is a great tool!
I usually use Blender as the OGRE exporter.
BP is good at importing 3ds, and good at exporting to Lightwave (lwo), which Blender happily loads.
I am not sure if an exporter is *really* needed, but it would be nice of course. :wink:
