Hi, A new version of OSGEdit, the OpenSceneGraph editor, has been released. This is the first release candidate of 0.7.0, and it is a complete rewrite. This time the major focus has been making it much more extensible and easier to maintain. It has a new reflection mechanism, similar to osgIntrospection, but specific to the scene editing requirements. As osgIntrospection, it is generated mostly automatically, and supports every OSG object. The new engine that powers 0.7.0 opens a lot of customization possibilities, allowing you yo create:
* Custom actions, that will be activated from menu / toolbar items * Custom controls, that will provide GUI for new object attributes, or enhance usability of existing controls with a better GUI. * Custom 3D controls, that provide on-viewport direct manipulation of object attributes, like the current rotate, scale and translate 3D controls. * Custom wrappers. This is the most powerful customizable feature, because it allows you to add support for your own osg::Object (osg::Node) subclasses. * Custom layouts. So you do not like the default layout when you edit some object? You can change it by editing a simple XML file. This allows selecting which control to use for each attribute, which attributes to show, how to organize the attributes in tabs, and so on. * Your own menu and toolbar layout. All the menubar and toolbar is located in a XML file that you can edit to better fit your needs. This allows not only to change where each action is located, but also to give support for your custom actions. All this customization is supported by an extension mechanism, that is already being used by the core actions, controls and wrappers. To improve the usability, OSGEdit 0.7.0 supports direct manipulation of transformations by dragging handles in the viewport, a log window where you can check what is happening without the need of a terminal, and a history window where you can know what exactly will you undo or redo. Please, take into account that this is a release candidate and it may have lots of bugs. Send any bug report that you may find to the OSGEdit bug tracking system.
