Hello,

When i try to export from 3dsmax7 with ogreexporter 1.19 it says:

-- Unknown property: "exportHelpers" in exportOptions firstframe: undefined lastframe:undefined length:undefined animName:undefined scale1.0 flipyz:true flipNormal:false
exportColours:false exportUV:true

What seems to be the problem?
I dont have any animation in my mesh.

check the installation of the exporter again and check with the wiki for how to export meshes in 3dsmax. Havent seen this problem before in 3dsmax 7 you probatly messed up the installation of the exporter or the mesh youre exporting.

Try the Octopus exporter

Try the Octopus exporter over at www.yake.org

It will export .mesh files that are completely compatible with OGRE. It also does .material files aslong as you've got your material lists setup properlly. Check out the wiki for some notes on that.

I've used Octopus with 3dsmax7 and it works fine. Make sure you get a recent OgreXMLConverter to replace the one that's in it so you generate up to date .mesh files.
