The Reference Manual is a start, and so far it documents only the three core libraries: osg, osgUtil, and osgDB. Plugins aren't covered. Plugin features are almost completely undocumented and very inconsistent between plugins. It'll be a bear to document. > to be a way to scale the actual > model data on load (which would be nice as I would not have > to involve the artist again). One thing you should know about are the "pseudoloaders". These are plugins that use another plugin under the hood to load the model, then parent the loaded scene graph to an additional decorator node to achieve some effect. For example, you can do the following: readNodeFile( "foo.3ds.4,4,4.scale" ); This invokes the "scale" pseudoloader. It parses the file name to determine what file to load and how to scale the loaded model. In this case, it uses the 3ds plugin under the hood to load the model, then parents it to a MatrixTransform containing a uniform scale transformation of 4 units in x, y, and z. Note that you could just as easily do this yourself by loading the 3ds file as usual without the pseudoloader, and then creating your own MatrixTransform to scale the model. In your case, you'd have to write code either way. Where the pseudoloaders really come in handy is as command line arguments to osgviewer. For example, compare these two commands: osgviewer cow.osg axes.osg osgviewer cow.osg.10,0,0.trans axes.osg Hope that helps. -Paul _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
