Hello All!!

I'm just started testing Ogre and how to use it with Maya, for a maybe one day game me and my brother are planning.
Last night I ran into my first problem.
I'm using the maya exporter from the Tools download section, by fra.giordana@tiscali.it.
I got the exporter up and running and it seems to export my simple animated model fine.
I am trying to use it with the 'skeleton mesh' example that comes with Ogre, you know the one with the ten white 'storm troopers' walking in a line. I recompiled that, only changing the name of the mesh and the name of the animation.
But when I try to run it I just get a black screen and then it crashes...

Could anyone suggest some classic beginners errors or things to keep in mind??



Using Maya6.0
Single, triangulated mesh
softskinned to a single skeleton with max 2 influences
Animated with various Ik's and control objects
Default shader
I made sure the name of the exported animation matched that in the c code
Same for the mesh and skeleton name



cheers

post the Ogre.log, not entire only the final.

if you have two material diffrent material scripts in the same place using the same material it will crash. You must name the material diffrent and then re-export it.

Thanks guys for your help, and willingness to.

I just got it to work this morning. It seems that my problem was that I had 'all' ticked rather than 'selected'!
(I hope this does not means I will have problems with multi mesh models?)

So can I get the exporter source from the CVS? I have never used CVS before but my brother might be able to download it.
