I recently looked at something fairly similar to what I imagine you are trying to do, so I can say that there's definitely other interest in this sort of thing too. I wasn't successful in what I set out to do, but I found an acceptable workaround, and I can share some thoughts.
Basically, I had an existing virtual file system and was looking to see if I could integrate it into OSG at a low level to ensure that all files accessed were routed through this system. Looking at OSG, many of the plugins are also capable of reading from istreams rather than real files, so I'd hazard a guess that being able to read from this more generic source in preference is a direction OSG is likely to head in, and it'd be something that would be essential to using low-level VFS hooks in the future. Now, for my purposes, just using the OSG istream variants (for which I already had an adpater), and then repainting loaded models with my own images loaded separately, has been sufficient (and in many ways, beneficial), so I stopped there. Ideally though, I would have liked to be able to specify my own adapter to the VFS I am using in some way. I know that personally I would be watching any developments in the VFS area quite keenly. ------------------ Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=41863#41863 _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
