Thanks for your replies people. Hopefully we'll see some work in this
area as it would be a great addition to OSG. In the mean time I shall
bodge something together.
Regards
Kim.

Not by OSG. The problem with COLLADA animations (which is actually a
good thing in most respects), is that you can really animate *anything*
in COLLADA (from transforms to material/shader parameters), so it's
quite a bit of work to get animation working in a complete way.
The other constructs not supported by the OSG loader are controllers,
such as skins and morph targets. If your file contains these, you won't
see them either. Most of the time geometry is attached to one or more
skin controllers. The bones of the skin controller are then
transformed, and the transforms are animated.
