A "standard" system for skeletal animation is something OSG currently lacks. There was some discussion some months back about settling on one, but that's unlikely to happen anytime soon. For now, your main option is Cal3D. However, when I'm done with osgWidget I'll probably devote that new time to helping Cedric Pinson more with AnimTK, which I really believe to be a great toolkit (though we'll have to eventually address it's usage of the GPL). I've already contributed a bit to it and can speak for it's soundness, and both myself and Cedric use Blender a great deal--so it's exporter there will be rock solid. :) I've made some videos of AnimTK mixing some simple animations from a model made in Blender, they're on the osgWidget website (because it also uses a simple osgWidget::Frame window :)) http://osgwidget.googlecode.com I can tell you this though: AnimTK is divorced from any kind of mesh format, so it wouldn't be impossible for the Collada plugin to use it to facilitate it's animation in OSG one day... > Regards, > > > > Kim. > > > > > > > ***************************************************************************************** > To view the terms under which this email is distributed, please go to > http://www.hull.ac.uk/legal/email_disclaimer.html > ***************************************************************************************** > _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list > osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org > http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
