Is there any modern way to convert mesh.xml files?

[SushiPro]

So far, the only converter I've found to import a .mesh.xml is ten years old and doesn't work at all. Is there any way that I can import the meshes into a 3D modelling program like blender without installing windows xp?

You mean "import from Blender to Ogre" i.e. Blender --> Ogre?

Last week, I used Blender 2.76 + Ogre 2.1 + Windows7, it worked (with material warning).

This is my step:-
exportedFromBlender.mesh.xml -----(OgreXMLConverter.exe)------>v1 .mesh --> Ogre1.10 ok, Ogre 2.1 not ok
v1 .mesh ----------(bin\Release\OgreMeshTool.exe)------> v2 .mesh --> Ogre2.1 ok

What is the name of the 10-years-old converter?
I used OgreXmlConverter from Ogre1.10. It is not that old.
bin\Release\OgreXMLConverter.exe

I'm trying to get ogre --> blender. The converter is simply called blenderImport. I know it's ten years old because it hasn't been updated since around 2005-2006.

You need blender2ogre.

This only seems to export. I'm looking for something that can import.

Sorry, I didn't read your post carefully, I have never heard about such tool.

Alternative (more difficult) approach is to write python script yourself.

By the way, why would you want to do that? Modeling in Blender is far better than from Ogre.

Have you heard of rigs of rods? I'm trying to convert some models so that I can remake the cars in another game.

Did you create the models of the game by yourself? If so, try to avoid the conversion step.

Even if you can convert Ogre.mesh -> Blender , you will lose a lot of valuable information for modeling,

• such as edge loops, blender's modifier, edge split, bevel, cycles, etc, everything will be diminished into triangles with simple UVs.

I think that is why such tool would receive low popularity, and die by itself.

Modeling a car in Blender from scratch is not too hard either. (except when you are too bored )
