Converting to .mesh?

Post by RSBioMage »

Hi all. I just started with Ogre yesterday so I apologize in advance for knowing nothing at all.

I'm working on a project with a friend of mine, and we've run into an issue with the models. From what I understand, Ogre3D models have to be in a .mesh format, and my friend is creating models in ZBrush, which can't export .mesh files. I've spent awhile searching and haven't managed to find anything at all that can convert to .mesh files, so I must be missing something. Is there another file type that works, or perhaps a widely used converter to produce .mesh files?

Thanks in advance :)

Have a look here for Ogre exporters: http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/tiki-ind ... +Exporters
The ones that support Ogre the best are OgreMax (for 3ds max) and the blender exporter.

Apparently ZBrush has an FBX exporter, you could export to that and try loading it into Blender (free) for export to ogre.
