BTW besides the old way of uploading the mesh, material and texture
assets individually to the inventory, from where you can assign them to
objects that you create in-world, we've been now using full scene import
to RealXtend and I think there is a suitable exporter for Maya too:
http://realxtend.blogspot.com/2009/12/tutorial-to-import-scene-from-blender.html
is a tutorial where Blender is used, and there is an open source
exporter for Maya which should be compatible:
http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/Maya+Scene+Exporter

The thing there is that you get to upload meshes, materials and textures
in one go, and don't have to re-assign them manually in-world. They also
go to their right places if you export the whole scene, but it can also
be handy for even just individual objects (just need to export a scene
with that single object). Besides the opensim console implemented last
year and explained in that tutorial, there is now a work-in-progress gui
frontend to it in Naali.

For uploading individual meshes, I actually realized yesterday that we
could perhaps simple drag&drop of the mesh from your desktop to
in-world. Because the ogre .mesh file has the material ref inside it,
and the material refers to the textures it uses, Naali could inspect the
mesh and load all the assets and assign them correctly. Something to
investigate, perhaps next week.

cheers, and please be patient with us :)
