Thank you for the pointers. However I am having some slight difficulty with path variables in windows such that I can't get any of the plugins to load.
I have the enviroment variables set as follows: User variables: PATH = ^otherpaths^;C:\Program Files\OpenSceneGraph\bin OSG_FILE_PATH = C:\Program Files\OpenSceneGraph\Data System variables: PATH = ^otherpaths^;C:\Program Files\OpenSceneGraph\bin OSG_FILE_PATH = C:\Program Files\OpenSceneGraph\Data I have built openscenegraph using the debug profile, so all the modules end with d. Could that be the problem? Just at the moment i need to copy the assemblies i need from the bin directory to my debug folder, whereas i thought that they would just be automatically found. However this does not fix the plugins issue.
