| 1 | This is the plugin for exporting from Maya to OGRE mesh and skeleton formats. |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | 1)Copy ogreExporter.mll to your maya plug-ins directory (I.E.: C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya7.0\bin\plug-ins) |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | 2)Copy Ogre dlls (you can find them in the "dlls" directory of this zip) to your maya bin directory |
|---|
| 6 | (I.E.: C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya7.0\bin) |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | 3)Copy ogreExporter.mel (from the "mel" directory of this zip) to your maya scripts directory |
|---|
| 9 | (I.E.: C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\maya\6.5\scripts) |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | 4)If you already have a userSetup.mel in your scripts folder, then append the line |
|---|
| 12 | source ogreExporter.mel; |
|---|
| 13 | to the existing userSetup.mel. |
|---|
| 14 | If you don't have a userSetup.mel file in your scripts directory, then copy there the one you find in |
|---|
| 15 | the "scripts" directory of this zip. |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | 5)Launch vcredist_x86.exe to install the latest visual studio 8 dlls |
