Is there a way to tell a NxOgre actor's shape to be automatically as big as the Ogre entity? Would came in pretty handy.
If it is not implemented yet, is there a change, betajaen, that it will be?

It would be difficult to do, not only that it doesn't really fit in the whole "Rendersystem should be seperate from NxOgre thing".

Okay, if not implement it then please give me a hint how to realize this the best.
I haven't found a method to retrieve neither the original size of an entity (or its mesh) which I could mulpitly with the applied scalefactors nor the current size. Any ideas?

AABB bounding box is probably the easiest.

And what was the relation between Ogre and NxOgre units? 1 Ogre unit = how many NxOgre units?
betajaen

Same.
But in NxOgre we use SI units so, one unit is a metre.

That is strange then. Because I did the following:
Ogre::AxisAlignedBox aabb = E->getBoundingBox();
Vector3 mySize = aabb.getSize();
E is my Entity and I just looked up its size. Then I created an actor with the size of mySize and it was far to big, more exactly by the factor of ten. So, mySize * 0.1 results in the right size.
Wouldn't that mean 1 Ogre unit = 10 NxOgre units?

No, your bounding box is wrong.
1 unit = 1 NxOgre unit = 1metre.
Vector3(1,1,1) = NxVec3(1,1,1)
I don't do anything to position, scale or anything - because it would be to expensive (processor time wise) to do so.

How embarrassing...
I've taken the wrong entity to get the size (and this other entity was ten times bigger).

Ogre::AxisAlignedBox meshBounds = mesh->getBoundingBox();
Shape* collisionShape = new Cube( meshBounds.getSize() );
That should do it.

Ogre::Entity::GetBoundingRadius can also be used if you're using a cube/sphere.

Yes, I've solved it already. Thanks however guys.
In fact I did not use the mesh for retrieving the size but the entity, but that results in the same.

mesh in that instance is an Entity*
