I’m a little new to blender but I have managed to create my first character, which I have painted completely green (for testing purposes). I have UV-mapped the the green texture and exported it directly into the /Models folder in jmonkey.
I get these files in jmonkey: cube.mesh.xml, cube.material, mycube.scene, testpaint.png. I convert the cube.mesh.xml file to j3o.
I’m using blender 2.69 which comes with jmonkey, and i downloaded the blender 2 ogre 0.6.0 python script.
When I convert the model to j3o I get the following error message:

The funny thing is that when I add in the scene composer, it works great and the character shows up with its green texture. So are these error messages really something to worry about? Anyway I don’t like error messages even thoug everything seem to work.
No I don’t understand what you mean. I just used the ogre exporter in blender and converted in jmonkey myself. I also tried exporting it to a folder, then import it from jmonkey by pressing “import model”. Everything works but the error messages remains…
Okey so I imported to jmonkey directly form my blender workspace and choose the .blend file, it converted to j3o directly as you said, and the error messages I got before disappeared, but now I got these instead:
Yes I thing it read it directly, but it imported camera and light and stuff.
But when I export throught ogre, I convert the mesh.xml file or .scene file, both of them work, but I get the error messages I listed above.
Yes it imported the blender file and it seemed to work (with those new error messages).
I just use the green import button in jmonkey to import. But I prefer exporting from blender directly into jmonkey.
Usually you want to “bake” “normal maps” instead of having high poly subsurfed models.
You then have a low poly or medium poly version of your 3d model with a “normal map”.
At least that’s how many games since Doom 3 made it.
If you understand the text above, you most certainly will understand where this illusion breaks -
until you have a better shading tech with tesselation, parallax shading, etc. for compensation.
At least parallax should work in the current engine, because I saw some demos, made by normen.
