To export models directly from 3DS to an osg format (osg or ive), you can
use osgExp :

 1) You could use osgconv to convert your 3ds file out to .osg.
2) Or, in your app, you could call:

osgDB::Registry::instance()->writeNode( *(root.get()), "filename.osg" );

There are many benefits to the .osg format. It is compatible across OSG
releases (unlike .ive) and it is ASCII text so is easily editable and useful
for debugging. Conversely, because it is a text file, it is not the most
efficient format.

I don't know about the animation benefit you mentioned? Once loaded into a
scene graph, anything can be animated; the file format is irrelevant, right?

I don't have problems loading  3ds files in OSG, however I was wandering
if there is a way to export models to  osg files. Are there any other
advantages in using the osg file format beside animation?

thanks
