It definitely sucks. It never worked ok for our type of models. The other annoying thing about the wrl reader is that it creates material groups which cause a lot of trouble in our system. > > One more question: Would the OSG-Collada loader also hold the > animations? > > Since OpenSG currently has very little support for animation, I doubt > that this will happen just because we get a Collada loader.

I remember a discussion on the same topic, the problem was that animations need some global clock, which was somehow incompatible with the clustering concept of OSG... But, as always, there are solutions (which were also posted on this list). > We want animation here at my place, but haven't yet found a good way to > export it from 3ds/maya into OpenSG, so we avoid it for the time being.) > If the Collada loader turns out nice, I could probably write something > useful for us, that others might find useful as well (albeit I'll need > help getting the FCD-stuff right. We could probably contribute on that, we definitely need animations!
