Hello Igor,
1) Is it hard to change components of OSG, to meet my requirments and use my
own version within scene graph integrated? For example, i'm not very satisfied
with render code and shadows\other FX, can i do a pure opengl replacement in my
engine and replace component without any problems? Or should i edit OSG code or
something?
OSG's design is well encapsulated, so it's generally easy to replace
parts of OSG's functionality with subclasses you would make yourself.
For example if you wanted to do your own shadow rendering code you could
subclass one of the osgShadow classes (ShadowVolume, StandardShadowMap
or ShadowTechnique). You could also create your own classes that do this
subclassing just a simple Node or Group and overriding the traverse()
method. See for example osgOcean which does this (osgocean.googlecode.com).
If you want to do straight OpenGL you can do that by subclassing
osg::Drawable and writing your code in the overridden
drawImplementation() method, or in a drawable DrawCallback. You just
have to make sure you leave the OpenGL state the same way it was at the
beginning of the method, otherwise you'll have trouble with OSG's own
drawing and state tracking.
2) Is LWO loader plugin fully compatible with latest LWO\LWS files(i have 9.6)?
I mean loading geometry, uv(can keep relative path to texture?), bones,
animation. If it isn't, what version should i use and what's limitations?
I have no idea. If you want bones and animations, I've found the best
formats are Collada and FBX.
3) That's all, folks!(at least, for now) I'm afraid you'll just send me to
RTFM. And sorry for bad English.
Oh, if you insist I tell you to RTFM, then I will :-) If you're new to
developing with OSG, make sure you at least read the Quick Start Guide
(www.osgbooks.com - it's free in PDF format). And don't be shy to go
into the OSG code when you want to know how something works (keep your
own build of OSG handy, put breakpoints and trace to see where it goes).
Hope this helps,
J-S
