The modeling world has embraced COLLADA as the format for interoperability and most of the major modeling packages now support COLLADA
see http://www.collada.org/mediawiki/index.php/Portal:Products_directory and http://www.collada.org I would suggest that is were we should spend more time, my own group may be in the future but cannot guarantee when(also KML) G. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Osfield Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 12:53 PM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: Re: [osg-users] 3D Studio Max (3DS) Output Hi Chris, As you have found out there is no write support in the 3ds plugin. The 3ds format is not a good format so its not something I'd actually recommend as a route for interoperability. The OSG is open source though, so if you have the itch then feel free to dive into the code and add write support. Robert.
