The script OGRE Meshes Exporter converts meshes and armatures from Blender to OGRE file format (-XML / binary mesh). It supports the export of

• mesh objects with vertex colours, multiple materials, UV textures and blend modes,
• a multitude of material properties, most notably: ambient, diffuse, specular, emissive, UV textures with and without alpha channel, vertex colours, normal maps, two sided faces,
• keyframe animations of armature actions as skeleton animations,
• keyframe animations of relative mesh shapes as pose or morph animations.

Installation

• Download + install Blender
• Download and integrate the Blender Exporter. (zip | SVN)
• Copy ogremeshesexporter.py and subfolders to the path ...\blender\.blender\scripts.
  • Note: .blender for Blender 2.49b (latest stable) on Windows 7 is located in C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts
• Install Python 2.5.4. This is not needed for Blender itself, but for the exporter.
