    9 Blender and Orxonox have different coordinate systems. The y-axis looks up in Orxonox (z-axis in Blender), so you have to rotate your model by 90° before exporting.

    128 1. Delete all unused Materials
    139 1. Load the correct texture files for your meshes into blender (jpg or png)
     
    1511 1. Export the the Blender scene as an Object file (File -> Export -> Wavefront (obj))

    17 Now you should have two new files: a *.obj and a *.mtl file. The OBJ file contains all you meshes and texture coordinates. The MTL file contains all material (texture) related data. These files can be edited with any good text editor. (BUT NOT with: notepad or wordpad)

    23  * If your model is transparent in the engine (but shouldn't) you have to flatten you texture file in GIMP before exporting as png or jpg. That deletes the (unused) alpha channel. Image -> Flatten Image (or similar). German: Bild -> Bild zusammenfüegen
