osgCal is quite low level - a simple wrapper over Cal3D, but it has hardware skinning and quite efficient rendering code these days. Last time I checked there were some issues with the hardware skinning, though - - a merge would be a good opportunity to clean the code up. > Would there be any interest to merge the two? I think that Replicant should drop its own rendering implementation (which is buggy with regards to multithreading and state management, not to mention the terrible performance) and use osgCal to render the characters. I started to look into this, it shouldn't be too difficult to do. > As far as I know, there are a few things in ReplicantBody that is good to > have, - - ground following, Yup, this is useful. - - animation blending Cal3D does that, therefore osgCal as well. - - fileformat specification etc.... This is not so great because it needs the special libraries and needs two different, non-standard file formats (.char and .rbody) on top of Cal3D data with their own, specific parsers and everything. I would really love to see an implementation where a character is a zip file containing everything and I would not need to hardwire path into the config files in order for the code to find the data.
