If you use the latest developer release from OSG (2.9.5) it comes with the package so you don't have to compile it by hand. Anyways if you were able to build it successfully you don't need to worry about this.

You can use osgDB::readNodeFile(bone0.ply) osgDB searches and loads the library automatically. It works the same way for all file extensions. The only thing that could go wrong in this step is that something (osg build, your library path) is not configured properly and OSG will fail loading the plugin. But if you can load other formats and your compiled dlls are in the same directory as the rest of the plugins that shouldn't be the case. When the library is loaded it registers a reader that can handle that type of files. I've used that plugin to convert the Stanford repository models to .ive format succesfully in Linux. In Windows it should be the same, Cheers, Juan _______________________________________________ eq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.equalizergraphics.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/eq-dev http://www.equalizergraphics.com
