hi raft,
I got the new files from my artist (not using shared vertices/geometry) and finally, I was able to load the multiple objects with the corresponding textures!!  .  And thanks a ton for all your help and patience  .  I think, I am off your back for some time 

Note: Mailed u the screenshot as I couldn't figure out how to place an image in this post.

raft, also I've mailed you the bunch of files..

Quotehave tried downloading Ogre SDK? it contains OgreXMLConverter too.

Done that.  But the mac version of the SDK seems to be having some problem.  However, my artist was able to download the windows version of the converter and he sent the .xml files.

But when I ran them through the BonesImporter, I got the following exception.  Any hints on resolving this exception??
Skeleton created out of jME OGRE skeleton, 69 joints

Quoteto run converter on your machine, get latest version of converter. seems as precompiled Windows version is not latest, so you can try building from source.

I got the source from their SVN.  But when I tried to build, I found that some more files are required.

I am searching for these missing files in their SVN, now 

Quotemaybe there is an option like "export unused joints" ?

Ok, I will ask my artist to explore this.

QuoteOgre also has an OgreMeshUpgrade tool, to upgrade mesh file to latest version. try using that before using OgreXMLConverter. if it doesnt help send me your mesh files

My OgreXMLConverter doesn't even launch.  It doesn't even show usage options.  I will try to explore ogre3d forum. 

Quotewe can try this, but only once  i cant do it all the time for you.

Thanks a lot.  Even doing once would be great  .  I've just mailed you the .mesh and the .skeleton files.

yesterday, when I was working with our artist, I got is confirmed that he is using a single skeleton.  But it's the OgreMax exporter that exports multiple skeletons... seems that it picks up the joints corresponding to the mesh its exporting.

we can try one more thing: I will get the single .mesh and .skeleton generated by the other exporter.  If your ogre2XML converter is working fine, may be we can try converting them to .xml files 

sorry, raft.  My bad  .
By mistake I sent the link for the folder instead of the documents.
The mesh files are really huge and so I wouldn't able to send them in mail attachments.  However I have sent the proper links this time to you by mail.

The files are uploaded here:
https://docs.google.com/?authuser=0#folders/folder.0.0B85w3AW2-YdVYzY1YmZjM2UtNTQzZC00NDE0LWFmNmQtZTkyMDQxNTM4ZDc1

Quotei'm surprised that OgreMax for Maya doesn't support exporting many objects. OgreMax for 3ds Max is quite successful. what happens if you select many objects and do export selected?

OgreMax, in fact, supports exporting many objects.  Only that it doesn't give an option to export them into a single xml file.  It generates multiple pairs of "mesh.xml and skeleton.xml" files, a pair each for an object.  i.e. for upper-body, it generates upper.mesh.xml and upper.skeleton.xml and for lower-body, it generated lower.mesh.xml and lower.skeleton.xml.

The exporter from ogre3d.org is able to generate a single .mesh file for all the objects; but we ran into problem when trying to convert that .mesh into .xml 

hi raft,
thanks a lot for the new API; that would my save my iteration stuff.

Today, I was working with our artist to get all the meshes exported to a single .xml file.
Our artist is using OgreMax exporter (http://www.ogremax.com/downloads) to export from Maya.  This OgreMax exporter doesn't seem to give an option to export to a single .xml file.
Then we downloaded another Maya Exporter from http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=63214.  But with this we could only get the object format and not the xml one.
Then we downloaded OgreXMLConverter from http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/OgreXmlConverter&structure=Tools.  When tried in our artist's windows machine, it gave some error related to the absence of some serializer.
When tried in my mac, I got the following error
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/Ogre.framework/Versions/A/Ogre
  Referenced from: /Eng-Repo/Reference/Graphics/Skeletal-Animation/Tools/./OgreXMLConverter
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

Do you have any idea what's going on??

Quote from: raft on April 15, 2011, 05:51:18 PM
2) Is it possible to link each of these meshes to different textures??
yes of course, they are seperate objects

I was thinking that each mesh would have got loaded as an Animated3D.  So I thought of iterating through the AnimatedGroup and assign the appropriate textures to corresponding objects using the object names.  But I found that the objects don't have any specific name, but object3, object4 and so on.   
Is there a better way to find the object that one's looking for?

thanks, raft.
I had in fact asked a single file from my artist (based on your previous suggestion) ... just waiting for the file from my artist...  meanwhile thought of trying out the multiple files that I had with me...
I'll check the single file out once I get the file and then get back to you.

I tried number 1.  Everything seemed to go fine, but at the end, I got this exception...

hi raft,
I've some new questions...
1) Is it possible to have multiple meshes for the same skeleton?  Something like, separate meshes for head, upper-body and lower-body built around the same skeleton?  If so, then I guess that all these meshes to be passed as -in parameters to the ogre2Bones converter script?

2) If the above one is feasible, then is it possible to link each of these meshes to different textures??

3) If the meshes to be changed on the fly, (i.e. from thin-upper-body to fat-upper-body) then I think I have to rebuild the entire ".bones" group programmatically. Is my understanding correct?  If so, then I think it will be performance issue.  Is there a performance friendly way to get over with that?

hi raft,
I went through the mesh.xml files to check for the polygons.  I think that the polygons are listed under <faces>.  Am I right?
If so, getting the right polygon id will be a big guess work   .

Then went through the karga thread and even registered myself in aptalkarga.com  .  It is great    Unfortunately, when I logged in there wasn't anyone except the beauty-bot Alice and I couldn't even kiss her due to lack of money  .  I will log-in again after some time, anyway.  Great work! Keep it up!!

I am thinking about your suggestion of the creating the textures on the fly.  I couldn't figure out how to do it, at least till now  .  I couldn't find any sample code in the karga thread as well.    Any hints??
