---
Exporter for the Gile[[s] global illumination tool - that's a tool which lights a scene realistically offline, calculating soft shadows and interreflections, and saving that information into lightmaps.  A .rar archive containing the necessary files for copying into the Gile[s] folder and subfolder(s) is attached to this page.

Gile[[s] scene is exported into a single binary .mesh file (and .material) for use with the OGRE engine.

Features:
* Automatically fixes mask textures to work with Ogre by adding alpha channels.
* Option to copy all scene textures to destination directory.
