Peter, I'm not a modeler per se, but using either 3D Studio Max (3ds file format) or the Multigen-Paradigm (flt file format) tools would work well. OSG will allow you to import these popular file formats into OSG for rendering.

I was asked to look into the possibility to create a 3D first person walk through of a large research facility by my colleges at University. I have made my self a little familiar with OSG through some of the examples posted and believe it may be a viable tool to achieve this goal. For this I will have to create several realistic looking buildings and scientific apparatus and I would like to do so using a 3rd party 3D studio (to avoid having to do it all with programing it from GL primitives). I have not worked with these studios before but the OSG website mentions several which are compatible with OSG. Could anyone make a suggestion on which will be useful for my purposes so I can make an informed purchase? Also, when finished, the software will be offered for public download as part of the outreach program for this facility. The facility is non-profit and government funded and the release will be free of charge through its collaboration. From what I have read the OSG license supports this without royalty fees or restrictions, but I wanted to ask in case I have misinterpreted this. This is my first post to this mailing list and I want to apologize if it is not in conformation with posting standards or rules. Thank you for your help and suggestions. I am looking forward to productive work with the OSG software. bye Peter -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org) Debian Project (http://www.debian.org) _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
