I've had mixed results with the blender osgexport plugin, it doesn't appear to export animation constraints (i.e. "copy rotation from"). It also seems to forget local coordinate systems occasionally. More importantly I don't think it is being maintained any more. If something like collada is being maintained, and is a standard supported by many tools it would be a better choice for me.
Robert: What should we expect from the collada import (or from other paths into OSG)? Obviously we'd need to investigate collada export from a modeling tool separately.
