FYI a little caveat on Collada/KML it does not have support for the Point ( as in GL Points)
Also Adobe PDF, 3d & Geo aware format is now a published format and is currently undergoing approval as an ISO standard ( 32000 something or other ) ( Not saying there many tools to help, but if you know post script our good with adobe stuff :) ) http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200701/012907OpenPDF AIIM.html ____________________________________________________________________________ __ Gordon Tomlinson [email protected] IM: [email protected] www.vis-sim.com www.gordontomlinson.com ____________________________________________________________________________ __ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jan Ciger Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 7:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [osg-submissions] Updated VRML plugin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Martin Beckett wrote: > The cmake for osg2.9 flags the ANTLR lib as not found, I haven't > checked if it will build without it yet. It should build. I do not have that library neither.

There isn't one. There are competing proprietary solutions, but not really a cross-platform open standard with working viewers. Collada is more a data interchange format, VRML is dead, Google's stuff is not mature yet and the Adobe stuff is proprietary. If you can make your own plugin, you can embed OSG directly. If it is for wide distribution, then it is likely not going to fly, though.
