i am trying to get orge in max to work, but the problem is

the screen does go black, but the ninja does not appear, then the screen goes back to grey

and in the max window i get the error like i have not done the steps properly

this is the error i get in the max window

Init Ogre context 37950976 with win size 640 480

i have put the Ogre.framework in the framework folder

i have not installed xcode, do i need to install it?

I am using it on a macbook 2ghz core 2, with max 5.0.2

1. Bang the render context
2. Send the window to fullscreen
3. restore the screen size
the screen does go black, but the ninja does not appear, then the screen goes back to grey

this is the error i get in the max window
Init Ogre context 37950976 with win size 640 480
error retrieving window pointer

I am using it on a macbook 2ghz core 2, with max 5.0.2
as anyone got it working on a macbook?

jit-ogre has not been ported to max 5 yet. hope to do so in the near future.

also, please direct any jit-ogre questions to support _at_ jitogre.org

I would love a simple tutorial on how to convert and utilize a model. I tried watching the tutorials on the wiki, but from the get go they are addressing things I feel are extraneously technical. I would love a "jitter ogre walkthrough" that just says something along the lines of make a model in maya, with bones and and whatnot, and save and convert it like this, load it like this and play the animations like this. maybe its super easy, but just after watching the first few videos on the wiki I was under the impression that it would be a huge undertaking involving coding in xml just to get something working. am I wrong?

there should be no need to code any xml to get a model exported, assuming everything works as it should. however, getting a hang of the export process is a bit of a challenge.

my free time is non-existent right now, but i hope to have some time before the end of the year to finish the windows port and perhaps even a max 5 port (along with some new features i've added). i will also try and throw together a quick tutorial on exporting from maya.

i think it's easier than it looks, once you get the hang of it.

well...
you're not entirely wrong.

the process is tricky but I've been able to get it working, try going though some of the WIki docs on the actual Ogre Dev site:

http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/OGRE_Exporters

BTW Rob, great to hear you're working on a Max 5 port for Ogre. I'll make you a deal, if you want to concentrate your time on just coding I'll make you the Maya export screen casts, when it's done for Max 5!

Wick'd! Offer totally stands, am giving the new build a run-through now. I'll take a stab at a screencast this weekend and let you know how it goes.

good to hear. please note the readme file regarding an existing maya ogreexport plugin. you will probably have to put the new (jitogre max5) ogre.framework in the maxmsp app contents/frameworks folder.

Yeah got it all sorted per your README, I've posted a zip that might make things easy for new users:

http://ctrl.dreamhosters.com/lo-ryder/ogreMayaExporter2008-OSX.zip

This contains the (fixed) Maya 2008 ogre exporter & mel scripts + the right version of ogre.Framework to run it with. (Downloaded it from the TrickyFly guy who maintains Eihort).

So far so good, everything works as expected. Your welcome to host that zip on your wiki, I can't guarantee that it will stay on my FTP forever
