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

open the .blend file you want to export (or close blender and start it by double clicking the .blend file)
select the object you want to export using rightclick (you can only export single objects, but you can make multiple subobjects somehow)
on the lowest panel, select "buttons window" on the menu on the left.
on the "Panels" menu next to it select "Object"
set a unique object name in the panel on the lower left (avoid spaces and special letters, something like ke_biotube01 is good)

resizing, rotating and recentering has to be done in blender until we find the time to implement an editor for something like this in sfz.

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

this forum thread in iris2 about exporting ogre models might also be interesting : http://www.iris2.de/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1061
