__OgreXMLConverter__ - The OgreXmlConverter is a command-line tool that can convert binary ''.mesh'' and ''.skeleton'' files to ((-XML|XML)) and back again. It is a very useful tool for debugging the contents of ((-mesh|mesh))es, or for exchanging mesh data easily. Many of the modeller mesh exporters export to XML because it is simpler to do, and OgreXmlConverter can then produce a binary from it. Other than simplicity, the other advantage is that the OgreXmlConverter can generate additional information for the mesh, like bounding regions and ((-LOD|level-of-detail)) reduction.
%help% A compiled version can be found in the Ogre ''Command-Line Tools''. Often a newer version can be obtained via [http://ogre.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ogre/trunk/Tools/XMLConverter|SVN].
