Probably you have a new version of Blender (2.63*) and an old version of blender2ogre which has not been adapted to work with the new mesh kernel 2.63 introduced (bmesh - current Blender really should be called 2.7 or something to notify the big change, compared to 2.62). This was discussed here in late June, in "[realXtend] Belnder->Tundra integration" https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#! topic/realxtend/XyxZBnVWuXM > the preview in Tundra is not working.

The old mesh api in Blender was just dropped so the old script simply fails to export any geometry. We dug an updated version from the Ogre forum back when encountered this -- it was there early on and worked well, so there should be no prob. http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=61485&start=525 links to this at the end and it states 2.63 support: blender2Ogre-0.5.7-preview1.rar http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/download/file.php?id=4095&sid=64a791e6cf0e21f8631628ec216889e8 .. seemed that that was the latest version there. At one point I understood that Brett would have adopted that to blender2ogre upstream but haven't checked. Adminotech hired him earlier to write the exporter (when there was no Ogre export at all for the new Blender 2.5 series) but I was told recently that Brett is now busy with other things, possibly means that we'll start maintaining it from here In the meetings last week we, as in the association, proposed to use money liberated from me (university starts paying me part-time similarily as the foundation has done to take care of reX) to bugfixing (issue tracker cleanup) and maintenance and blender2ogre is within scope there (was my proposal). Adminotech made a good offer to do this work pretty cheaply (for non-profit price, as all foundation work) so situation with maintenance of these things should get better now. > Peter ~Toni > > > -- > http://groups.google.com/group/realxtend > http://www.realxtend.org -- http://groups.google.com/group/realxtend http://www.realxtend.org
