Ogre 3dMax Exporters : Commerical Use.

oXYnary

If anyone out there is using Ogre in some fashion. What are you all relying on for your Max exporters? The ones supposedly to the Max files on the Ogre site are broken (and I think for sub 8 versions only). OgreMax requires a commercial license, and so does ofusion. Looking in Ogres forums, I see plenty of mention of OgreMax, but not about a standalone exporter for Max.

Did the guys at Runic build their own exporter from the source? Marshmonkey (ZeroGear) sounds like they used Maya, but maybe encountered similar issues?

neoaxis is also built on ogre, maybe check their freeware edition?

Freeware edition can not be used for commercial. I did find something mentioning ogre exporters and the modifications they made for Neo.. Which implies if not impossible, some loops to "downgrade" to standard ogre specifics.

I did do a google search and found a Max 9 exporter. But its so old, and never updated. That it crashes max upon every restart unless you continually delete a file created.

You could use the Blender Exporter, or write your own, if i´m not mistaken ogre´s models are more or less plain xml files

I'm using OgreMax, but I don't know how it is about the commercials projects. One thing I don't like about all the ogre exporters is that they are very bloated, I only want to export the .mesh
With ogremax I export the scene, which creates a material file, a scene file and the meshes, but I only use the meshes

I want something that could Get me my Max files exported in to
[.mesh] file format.

I just want to avoid it taking to blender only to get in the form .mesh"

I was messing with Ogre a bit, and was using the OgreMax, which works good,but ya isn't free to use . I started trying to add in different GUIS, but I couldn't get any of them to works, so I gave up . Need alot more C++/C# Exp.
