Hi all, As presented at the OSG BOF last week, the OSG plugin for COLLADA v1.4.1 is available on SourceForge. There is no .zip package yet, you may grab it from CVS at http://sourceforge.net/projects/osgdb-collada
Previous versions of the OSG COLLADA plugin were hindered by limited access to the COLLADA DOM (document object library) library. The licensing issues have been resolved, and the DOM itself is accessible from SourceForge CVS at http://sourceforge.net/projects/collada-dom That code is what was demonstrated at the COLLADA social event following the OSG BOF last week. For more information, see Andy's OSG BOF presentation at http://openscenegraph.org/osgwiki/pmwiki.php/Documentation/Documentation A major new feature is the plugin now implements COLLADA file writing capability. Using osgconv, the plugin was used to convert Performer Town from OpenFlight to COLLADA, which was then imported into Google Earth, giving pfTown a "real" location on the globe! ;-) There is still much work to do on the plugin. The basic geometry support is in place, but advanced features such as animation, skinning, and physics have yet to be implemented. However, the code is good shape as a solid foundation for those further developments. Sony Computer Entertainment funded Andy to develop the plugin up to this point and release it as open source. With that foundational work publicly available, it is now time to find another primary maintainer. Please let Andy or me know if you would like to take over development. Cheers -- mew _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://openscenegraph.net/mailman/listinfo/osg-users http://www.openscenegraph.org/
