just a few notes on exporting, we should make a proper tutorial someday

Get Blender Exporter v1.4.0 to take meshes from Blender to Ogre XML. Requires the use of the OgreXMLConverter contained in the OgreCommandLineTools_v1.4.0.msi to turn the XML (item.mesh.xml) into a runtime binary mesh (item.mesh).

lower left : link mand materials : name the model
press n : transform window,
- set pos to 0
- lower right of the transform window should be near 1,1,1 for one ingame tile (press s to scale the model)
move the middlepoint to a position on the grid
go to edit mode and move the mesh so that it is aligned to a unit-sized grid
export :
- select everything you want to export
- open python-script-list (right bottom) : export > ogre.mesh
- "copy texture" should be active
- ogremeshexporter should be active so we get a .mesh instead of a .xml
- hit export
