Hi All -- I recently posted a change to osg-submissions that adds FLT export capability to OSG. Assuming it doesn't break the build, I expect Robert will have this available on current SVN soon. Thanks to Dave Wolfe and Bob Kuehne for their assistance. Thanks to my client, who wishes to remain anonymous, for funding the development. See the KnowledgeBase page on the wiki for export Options., or see ExportOptions.cpp in my recent submission. I've focused on this project for the past month and I really like what I see. I'm now loading in fairly complex FLT models to OSG, writing them back out as FLT, and reloading them. I see little visual difference. I am also writing the OSG scene graphs out as .osg files and diffing them. Again, I see little significant difference between the .osg from the original versus our written FLT files. There are currently some outstanding issues I'm aware of that I need to address, which I've summarized below. * Should support BIND_PER_PRIMITIVE color binding better, use the Face/Mesh record colors instead of (what we currently do) per vertex colors. * Need to add support for Shader Palettes, Instance Definition, Instance reference, and Extension records. * I'd like to support osg::PagedLOD nodes as an LOD record and an External Reference record. This is on my to do list. * Billboards are not yet supported. This is on my to-do list as well. I still have funding for these and other mods, and appreciate the community diving in and testing. The bulk of my focus has been on exporting scene graphs that were created by loading FLT files, so I'm sure there are many ways to break this code. Let's see what's broke, and get s list of needed mods together and prioritize them. We developed a regression test suite that I'm working on making available to the community. I'll post here when I have more info. It has a dependency on Python so is not suitable for inclusion in core OSG. Thanks in advance for testing and feedback, Paul Martz Skew Matrix Software LLC http://www.skew-matrix.com <http://www.skew-matrix.com/> 303 859 9466
