When working with NxOgre, is it best to have the modelers always working with Meters, and have pivot points centered, rather then aligned at the feet?
yes working with meters is good since that's the default unit for NxOgre if i'm not wrong. Personally, I have pivot point aligned at the feet, else the character will sink into the ground. Although it doesn't really matter much in the end, you could always tweak the model with meshmagick if there are any problems.

The reason I say center is because i did a test. I created a 1M cube in max, and put the pivot centered at the bottom.
- when I did a CubeShape(1), I actually had to offset the actors position by 0.5.
- with the pivot in the center, everything worked perfect.
oh right, pivot, I got it mixed up, what I meant was I had mesh aligned at x axis. Yes, pivot at the center would be good.
