Morph animations! :) (Imagine a character "breathing", where no skeletal animation takes place but vertexes are displaced arbitrarily.) I know osgAnimation will support this one day--even if I have to add it myself--but it may not be anytime soon. > there is a some examples, so i know where to put it, there is also an > animation viewer but i guess i will put it in example, > and then when osgAnimation will be more stable we could add animation > viewer feature in osgViewer application ? Well, I've always wanted to make a standard GUI module for the viewer; something that would let you rotate, scale, and zoom the view, return home, change the state, etc. from an osgWidget-built interface (and demonstrate the usage of osgWidget). If I can finish this, we could also add animation support to it, if osgAnimation objects exist in the scene graph. > > > >> I have a few question about the exporter, where should i put it in the osg > >> tree ? > >> > > > > What form does the exporter take?

A great deal of the power of using osgAnimation currently comes from the very well written exporter--probably one of the better Blender ones that exist. It would be a shame if this couldn't find a home in OSG SVN, but then again I do understand if it is a bit out-of-place. > Cheers, > Cedric > > > Robert. > > _______________________________________________ > > osg-users mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org > > > _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
