Some time back I looked at loading blender files directly to python-ogre based on the awesome work carried out by the OgreKit developers, but never quite got it working.

http://code.google.com/p/gamekit/wiki/OgreKit

I've had another look and managed to load a blender file in python, albeit via OgreKit e.g:



import sys

sys.path.insert(0,'..')

import PythonOgreConfig



import ogre.renderer.OGRE as ogre

##from sf_OIS import * 

import SampleFramework as sf

import ogre.addons.ogreblender as ogreblender



if __name__ == '__main__':

    gkEngine = ogreblender.gkEngine()

    gkEngine.initialize()



    f = ogreblender.gkBlendLoader.getSingleton().loadFile('buggy.blend')



    it = f.getSceneIterator()

    while it.hasMoreElements():

        scene = it.getNext()

        print dir(scene)



    scene.load()



    gkEngine.loadResources("resources.cfg")

    gkEngine.setActiveScene(scene)

    gkEngine.run()

    gkEngine.finalize()

What started as addon to python-ogre ended with a fair bit of OgreKit being wrapped ( the .so file is about 60MB). The above is based on OgreKit source many months ago and will need updated/simplified.

Is anyone else working on something similar? Alternatively should we wait until python-ogre supports Python 3 and directly export from Blender 2.5.X, thoughts anyone?
