Hi Lee,
I don't know anything about the OBJ loader except what 'osgconv --format
obj' tells me. Do the 'noTesselateLargePolygons' or 'noTriStripPolygons'
help?
$ osgconv --format obj
Plugin osgPlugins-2.9.5/osgdb_obj.dll
{
ReaderWriter : Wavefront OBJ Reader
{
features : readNode writeObject writeNode
extensions : .obj Alias Wavefront OBJ
format
options : AMBIENT=<unit> Set texture unit for
ambient texture
options : BUMP=<unit> Set texture unit for
bumpmap texture
options : DIFFUSE=<unit> Set texture unit for
diffuse texture
options : DISPLACEMENT=<unit> Set texture unit for
displacement texture
options : OPACITY=<unit> Set texture unit for
opacity/dissolve texture
options : REFLECTION=<unit> Set texture unit for
reflection texture
options : SPECULAR=<unit> Set texture unit for
specular texture
options : SPECULAR_EXPONENT=<unit> Set texture unit for
specular exponent texture
options : noRotation Do not do the default
rotate about X axis
options : noTesselateLargePolygons Do not do the default
tesselation of large polygons
options : noTriStripPolygons Do not do the default
tri stripping of polygons
}
}
