Do you have the latest Blender importer/exporter? I do not know if reimpell implemented vertex animation import yet, but he says it's working for export.

Both, pose and morph animation export, are fully functional in this exporter. I had no problems importing a MD2 model into Blender and exporting it to Ogre.

No, it will replace Ogre HEAD when armature animation support is finished.

Oky.
So the best think to do is to wait for dagon release.

Another question:
When the Dagon will be release?
