Howdy. My immense (hmm?) user-base will be overjoyed to learn that I've updated the OGRE exporter for AC3D to be compatible with the latest version of OGRE.

There are a number of tweaks to this version; The ability to export AC3D models to OGRE's .mesh format is obviously still there, as is the ability to import greyscale heightmap images. But new this release are enhanced material handling options and the ability to import OGRE .mesh files into AC3D.

It seems that at least one person has been waiting their entire life for this plugin, so quick, go here and see what all the fuss is about;

Also, for performance and compatibility reasons the exporter will now only use a 32-bit index buffer if it really needs to, i.e. if your mesh (after the exporter has optimised it) contains more than 65,535 vertices. Otherwise, it'll use a 16-bit buffer. If you don't know what that means, don't worry, neither do I.
