Exports:
20 1 kaetemi
* All shape nodes with lod (shape_with_coarse_mesh/nodename.shape)
21 1 kaetemi
* All shape nodes without lod (shape_not_optimized/nodename.shape)
22 1 kaetemi
* Animations per shape if any (shape_anim/nodename.anim)
23 7 kaetemi
* Generates lightmaps (LM) if required per shape per lightgroup (shape_lightmap_not_optimized/filename_nodename_lightgroupid.tga & filename_nodename.txt (log))
24 7 kaetemi
** We might want to modify this to export the data required for a lightmap generation tool only to a data file, and run a lightmap generation tool outside of the 3d export process, that uses the exported shape and light information from the data file. See calc_lm*.* files under nel_mesh_lib.
