I didn't know that osg::ProxyNode existed. Yes, it does exactly what I need.
I think that there's still some role to play for a plugin like the one I wrote. The plugin is a pseudoloader, which adds a osg::ProxyNode-like object above a subgraph loaded from the specified model file. This allows one to add external reference support to any OSG editor (or other scene-generation tool) without modifying the editor at all. Take osgedit for example. osgedit doesn't allow you to add osg::ProxyNodes to the scene. However, with a pseudoloader like the one I wrote, you could work around this by appending .extref to the end of the file name when adding a model to the scene (File->Add). So what do you think? Should I rework the pseudoloader plugin to use osg::ProxyNode? Or is the idea not worth pursuing? -Andrew --- Robert Osfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Andrew, > > There is already an osg::ProxyNode for managing > external references.
