Hi Warp,
As you said, parsing a mesh or mesh2 object is very easy (I've already 
implemented it). The tricky part is to design the dialogs to effectively 
edit the meshes within the modeler as each triangle of the meshes can be 
individually texturized.  But that is not an impenetrable obstacle, and 
I am working on the support for mesh and mesh2 objects.

You are right, but this is still a work in progress. Each day the 
re-exported scenes look more and more like the original ones and 
eventually I'll have all those things sorted out (hopefully).

Hugo.
