Trying to get some stuff from Blender to Orbiter, and mostly failing spectacularly.
As far as I can see, there are 2 tools:
The one from vlad, which sounds excellent from the description, but is out of date and not compatible with Blender 2.8+ if I gathered that correctly:
Blender-Orbiter Mesh Tools, which work great, until you realise they only support one material per mesh, which is kind of a killer:
I mean, I could live with having to convert the materials for myself, but manually putting in proper meshgroup/material mappings is a bit much.
Have I missed any tools? I haven't found any others, in any case. So, given these two tools, or any others that might exist, how do you get complex meshes from Blender into orbiter without going crazy? Use an older blender version, or is there a trick to get your materials back without too much hassle with BMCDad?

Project - Blender 2.63 + to Orbiter import/export addon
Hi everybody, I've written an add-on for Blender 2.5 that imports / exports .msh files to / from Blender 2.5. 1 May, 2012. UPDATE! The current version of the add-on works only with Blender 2.63 or later with Bmesh (new powerful mesh system with Ngons). Feel free to test and use this add-on...
