Hi Jason I looked at the file in an older version (3.0)
It had no Material palette and the Color palette look pretty hosed as well so I suspect that is malformed as well, I think the file is just not really Open Flight compliant and thus why the OSG reader is struggling ____________________________________________________________________________ __ Gordon Tomlinson www.photographybyGordon.com www.gordontomlinson.com www.vis-sim.com "Self defence is not a function of learning tricks but is a function of how quickly and intensely one can arouse one's instinct for survival" -Master Tambo Tetsura -----Original Message----- From: Jason Daly [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 7:07 PM To: [email protected]; OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: Re: [osg-users] flt file not working On 03/25/2011 03:00 PM, Gordon Tomlinson wrote: > I would expect Creator to handle things better than OSG as Creator has > a quite a robust and forgiving FLT file reader ( as it should : ) ) , > and it can handle malformed files quite well, it will skip records it > does not know etc. and try to create usable structure, you might see > issues in things like the material and color pallets etc. Yeah, I know.
