That sounds interesting, especially since there are Open Source
exporters for Max, Maya and Blender. There is also an OS lib to
rad/write it, but I couldn't get it to compile on Linux. :(
I don't know how much support they have from other verndors, but it
looks interesting.

Well, our billion-polygon rendering is more targeted to using a cluster
to brute-force actually render a billion polygons (which we have done
before, see
http://opensg.vrsource.org/trac/wiki/Gallery/SortLastRendering). So it's
not meant to help with enormous scenes per se, which goes more into the
direction of having smart LODs, specialized code for intrinsically large
things like terrain, and very advanced paging strategies for managing
disc, main memory and graphics memory. All of these are interesting
problems, but not ones we have solved.
Sorry
Dirk
