Well, then it's actually a bug (at least in OpenSG 1.8) but I can't supply a patch. I just wanted to inform you about this issue. My small changes were for testing purposes only and won't really fix the problem. Nevertheless I can supply these changes if you are interested in them. > 2) there is no sharing of materials across multiple file loads. > This is admittedly also not optimal, but OpenSG does not implement a > resource system that keeps track of loaded textures, meshes, etc. So > there really is not a good way for the system to locate already > existing materials (there is no central registry to ask).
