To export your models as Ogre XML meshes with materials:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-. Open the menu File > Export > OgreXML Exporter to open the exporter dialog.
|
|
|
-. In the Export Materials field: Give the material the same name as the model. For example, the model `something.mesh.xml` goes with `something.material`, plus (optionally) `something.skeleton.xml`, and some JPG files.
|
|
|
-. In the Export Meshes field: Select a target subdirectory of your `assets/Models/` directory. E.g. `assets/Models/something/`.
|
|
|
-. Activate the following exporter settings:
|
|
|
-** Copy Textures: YES
|
|
|
-** Rendering Materials: YES
|
|
|
-** Flip Axis: YES
|
|
|
-** Require Materials: YES
|
|
|
-** Skeleton name follows mesh: YES
|
|
|

|
|
|
+. jMonkeyEngine requires a matrial file to be named the same name as the model so prior to export you must name the material the same name as the model. The model will export files named `ModelName.mesh.xml` with a `ModelName.material`, plus (optionally) `ModelName.skeleton.xml`, and some JPG files.
|
|
|
+. Open the menu menu:File[Export > Ogre3D] to open the exporter dialog.
|
|
|
+. In the `File Path` field: Select a target subdirectory of your `Project Assets/Textures/` directory. E.g. `Project Assets/Textures/ModelName/`. See <<jme3/intermediate/best_practices#multi-media-asset-pipeline#,Best Practices>>.
|
|
|
+. In the panel at the bottom left of the export window toggle the following export settings:
|
|
|
+** Swap Axis: xz-y

|
|
|
+** Trim Weights footnote:[Occasionally when exporting you may get a warning complaining about vertices weighted to to many bones. You are then asked to try increasing the trim weights option. Slightly increase this spinner and try exporting again. Repeat the process untill the warning goes away.]

You can now use the <<sdk#,jMonkeyEngine SDK>> to <<sdk/model_loader_and_viewer#,load and view models>>. You can <<sdk/scene_composer#,create scenes>> from them and write code that loads them into your application.
