export as .mesh

Hi! I'm developing a game using Ogre and I want to use blender to model my characters. But ogre uses .mesh files. How do I export my blender models to .mesh?

I've tried a python script called ogreexport.py <http://www.ogre3d.org/modules.php?op=mo ... load&cid=3>
The problem is, i can't run this script in blender.
I already copied the script in the .blender/scripts folder. But the installation manual says to click "Scripts Window" run "Scripts -> Export -> Ogre XML" which I can't find.

I'm using blender 2.34. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure there isn't another (old?) version of the exporter in that directory. You also may need to update the menus: Scripts Window > scripts > update menus

I tested it just now by copying the script to the .blender/scripts/ directory, and it worked well, the script shows up in both the export submenu of File, and in the Scripts Window menu.

Hey Paul,

which version of Blender you use? Do you have copied the script to the Blender script directory (on windows in your user directory: Application Data\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts)?

Anythingh seems ok with the exporter.

hi! thanks for replying. Anyway, I couldn't find it in the scripts -> export menu even if I already updated the menus. So, I opened the script in blender and ran the script. after which, I was able to see it in the scripts -> export menu.

Unless you have installed blender 2.34 with the default settings, after which you'll have your .blender/ directory in the same directory as the blender executable. Also you might have chosen to have ./blender under %HOME%, or the old Application Data blabla dir as above.

Why aren't you asking this on the OGRE forums? OGRE has it's own XML export script, and from that xml you convert it to .mesh with an OGRE tool.
