Furthermore, OSG loader for VRML doesn't support full VRML, only a small subset useful for loading geometry (e.g. animations are *not* supported). Also the VRML exported by Max is of rather poor quality, not following the standard in some ways. FBX requires closed source, proprietary SDK if I remember correctly, but I haven't tried using it. If you are targetting an OSG application, you have a decent native OSG format exporter available for Max. That is likely your best bet, IMO. Regards, Jan
