I think it is ok also to discuss it here -- it is one of the tools we
kind of support for Tundra authoring, and the only one which we can
offer for free for anyone to try (and improve on etc, customize for
their world building needs even) so it kind of completes realXtend as an
open source 3d app / VW platform.

Sure the blender2ogre issue tracker etc is the correct one for it, I
just mean that figure that this is an ok place for reX/Tundra related
talks about it. And the direct TXML export etc. that the 'magic
button' :) does is Tundra specific, not generic Ogre.

We can (and have) but yep anyhow Brett created it and has been doing a
good job upgrading & enhancing it usually, also great tutorial videos
etc.

One issue we've encountered recently (a user complained) was that
current blender2ogre didn't work with new Blender (which introduced a
new mesh kernel, bmesh, and some subsequent api changes in 2.6.3) --
there was already an upgrade on the Ogre forum and that worked fine for
us (we tested with Rauli a couple of weeks back and tried to help the
user the update his script).

Dunno if Brett has taken a look at that yet. We can also help,
maintaining the exporter is actually among the covered possible tasks
for the work me and Jukka do with the reX foundation funding (but not
lots and there's a huge amount of other work so is definitely great if
Brett or someone can do it).

Have you also been using the direct 'run Tundra' button, or just doing
the TXML export and launching Tundra manually then?

IIRC the script tries to guess the Tundra location somehow, but if it
fails, the instructions cover how to set the path for it.

The live connection to then move objects, trigger animations etc.
requires a bit more and doesn't work out of the box on Windows releases
now as Tundra doesn't bundle Python anymore/currently in those
installers. 

The button should still work to do the TXML export + Tundra preview
launching nicely, though. Just needs to have the path, I don't think the
relevant command line arguments have changed in Tundra recently. It's
really quite nice to be able to open any blend, and just press a single
button to get it show in Tundra.

I've so far only used it on Linux myself, and that's what Brett used to
dev it too. Others (MasterJ?) did configure it on windows, Brett was
helping I think here then.

BTW the bconf demo that was referred is on the realxtend.org site /
youtube, so it would have been possible for also Jonne to know what i
showed :)
