.SH NAME
VRMLConverter \- converts VRML to OGRE .mesh files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B VRMLConverter
.RI \ sourcefile\ [destfile]

.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBVRMLConverter\fP converts VRML97 files to .mesh files containing static meshes and materials.
.SH OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.

.TP
.B sourcefile
Name of the VRML97 file to convert

.TP
.B destfile
Optional name of file to write to. If you don't specify this OGRE
overwrites the existing file.

.SH NOTES
Make sure your objects are tesselated. They don't have to be
triangulated - the converter takes care of that, but primitive
shapes (like spheres, boxes, etc) are not recognised.

If you want the mesh to contain normals (which is usually the case),
then make sure that normals are exported. There is usually an option
for this in the modeler, but the default is 'off' in most programs.
