Thank you for your help, I turned the optimizer off before running osgconv
and when I compared the original .osg file with the new one I found out that
they are almost the same...they're exactly the same for my purposes, so my
application works fine now.
I just noticed one difference yet: in the converted .osg, UniqueIDs
properties are missing, for example:
UniqueID StateSet_0
...
UniqueID Geode_1
...
and some others UniqueIDs... could be this a problem? I don't use such IDs
explicitly...
Thank you again.
Regards.
Alessandro
