I think you are almost finishing step 3 since I saw you in the blender exporter thread. For posing the hand, you have several choices: pose it in blender in a predefined animation and then reproduce it with OSG or just move the model by modifying the bones transformation matrix in OSG. You were right, osgAnimation is the library to use. For the depth map capturing, I would render to texture using a Camera which would store the depth component of the rendered image. -- Alberto _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
