Cedric, Thanks for you contributions!
The biggest issue I have with osgCal is that you have to load models differently, you can't use osgDB::readNodeFiles and you can't clone existing models. It complicates the applications loading routines. We typically preprocess all our models and convert them to .ive format, which we deliver and use for runtime. It would be nice to be able to do the same with the animation models.

After writing osgCal (the gpl version) i decided to re design everything to make something new now called osgAnimation. I would like very much to have report from osgCal community and replicant body. osgAnimation is young and need lot of work. Don't hesitate to contrib or to comment it Cheers, Cedric Jan Ciger wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Dusten Sobotta wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> From what I understand, in addition to OSG/Cal, OSG has some animation >> features built in.
