.osg/.ive are not intended to be supported by any software other than OpenSceneGraph itself, so there is no formal spec per se. If you want to create a .osg file, the best way to do it is to write code that builds a scene graph, then call writeNodeFile() to dump it to .osg. You can then tweak it by hand. Creating it entirely by hand is only for the most gutsy among us, I imagine. And trying to support the format in other software, either for reading or writing, seems like it would be fairly tedious and particularly prone to obsolescence as OSG evolves.
Anyhow, to answer your question more directly, look in src/osgPlugins/osg. This is the source code that reads and writes the osg classes to/from .osg. -Paul > > I'd like to access OSG from Python but for the moment it's > not working for me.
