Well, OSG can save to a few formats. Explore which ones support saving, and then if you can convert from one of those, through a modeling or conversion tool, into SVG or another 2D vector format. Alternately, if you used a 3D capture tool: http://www.planetpdf.com/creative/article.asp?ContentID=review_adobe_acrobat_3d&page=1 http://www.3d-test.com/interviews/OGLE_1.htm http://www.deep-shadows.com/hax/3DRipperDX.htm you might be able to convert from one of its formats to something you can use. -- Chris 'Xenon' Hanson, omo sanza lettere.
