applying a texture to an mesh exported from blender

Hi any and all, I'm having some issues applying a texture to an cylinder object I've made in blender. I used the blender to ogre exporter and now have a mesh file, along with a texture file (.png) that was applied to it in blender. How would I go about applying this texture to the object? I've been looking around but can't seem to find an answer on the forum or mogre wiki, have I missed something?

I'm using VB.net (but I assume it's not a ton of effort to "translate" from another language version of mogre) with mogre, I made my own "framework" based on tutorial 5 (i think it was 5).

I can only imagine this needs to be run in createscene(), after I dim the entity..?

If anyone can spare a moment to help with that, it would be appreciated.

other things I need to do but can probably find out about myself, if you already know how to do this then please let me know;
add textbox to write in to the window
add clickable button in the window
"reset" the scene (IE kill everything except the window itself, and then re-run the createscene code)

Hi, I have same problem but I found only one amateur solution. There must be a better solution but for me it was enough. I used OgreMeshMagick.exe and setted my material (http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/MeshMagick) you must have prepared you texture in material.
You can have some simple material like:

material Venus
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 0.588235 0.588235 0.588235 1
diffuse 0.588235 0.588235 0.588235 1
fog_override true
scene_blend alpha_blend
texture_unit
{
texture_alias 0
texture venus.png
}
}
}
}


I dont know if it helpfull but this will set texture without any programming. And about your buttons. Have you triyed Miyagi?

Ok, I'll give that a go, I'll let you know how it goes.

Have you triyed Miyagi?

Not entirely sure what that is, I'll give it a look tonight.

Thanks very much!

Miyagi is GUI for Mogre http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/Miyagi

Hiya, sorry for the pause between posts.

I've made a material as shown in your example, but I'm unsure of how to actually apply it to the entity; I assume it uses the setmaterial function, but I don't know how to set my material to a variable. Would you be able to offer any help with that? I'm really struggling to work this out.

Now I am little bit confused. I thought you exported object.mesh from blender and you have troubles with a texture. If I am right so you just use OgreMeshMagick.exe and rename material. Firstly you find what material is used. (command info) and after that you set your material -material=:before:after:. I don't know what is VB syntax (using C#) but if you setted material you just create an entity and a sceneNode. Material should be applied because Ogre load it into your mesh object.

I used meshmagick but it didn't seem to actually do anything in my actual program
Info etc from meshmagick (changed material name from _missing_material_texture to sylinder.material, and submesh 0 name from _missing_material_ to 0):

in the program it still uses a blank white texture/material. I managed to use "QTmesheditor" which did apply the texture to the mesh successfully (ogremeshy views it with correct texture), but this causes my program to crash with a "SEHException" when it completes this line, specifically crashing on the name of the mesh (different filename as it is NOT the meshmagick version):

Dim smallscale As Entity = sceneMgr.CreateEntity("smallscale", "micromrotatscale2.mesh")

in ogremeshy:

in the program:

in a nutshell: meshmagick renamed the material but didn't actually change it in the program, QTmesheditor worked but crashes the program when MOGRE tries to load it.

Apologies if I've missed something obvious

Here my skills endings =(. My last idea: Make sure you have material in Media/materials/scripts, texture in Media/material/textures and your object in Media/models. And look into Ogre.log if you can found some error like loading material or something like it.

For my purposes, I'm allowed to be a bit lazy and just use text overlay to solve the problem (for now), but if/when i get a chance to come back to this I will add a post with a fix if I've managed to find one.

Here my skills endings =(
thanks for you advice so far though, it's actually been really useful!
