Hi Peter. > So am I understanding correctly that "osg" and "osgt" are actually different > formats (and custom serialization automatically works with "osgt", but not > "osg")?
The .osg format is the old deprecated ascii format, that is still supported for backwards compatibility. The .ive binary format is also deprecated but still supported. These two formats are hand written and independent from one another so require tool lots of hand written wrappers, and .ive is user extensible. The new .osgb, .osgt and .osgx file formats are a family of formats that are all leverage the new object serializers that are user extensible and resilient to versioning. Once you implement your serializers you get automatic support for all these formats. The serializers are also much easier to write than either then .osg or .ive wrappers. So all round goodness :-) Robert. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
