Hi Randall and osg-users... I ran into very similar issues in my attempt to implement OSG & Collada. I tried to download the latest version suggested from OSG to get the Collada plugin to work on MS Visual Studio. Have you had any luck or made any progress or heard back from any other users since you posted your message on 4-26-2013?
Below are the exact versions of OSG/Collada/MS VS I tried to integrate and the problems I encountered. Basically, the bottom line is after compiling and linking and finally getting a version that links, the Plugin is not recognized when I try to write a ".dae" file. Here is exact error message I am receiving (also highlighted in my documentation below)-- Warning: Could not find plugin to write nodes to file "lod1.dae".

I tried downloading the recommended version from the website, but that now leads to a dead-end. I dug the the same Collada 2.2 download I use on Mac & Linux, but I am completely unable to get CMake to recognize boost on windows, as well as getting lots of Cg header errors when using their provided solution file. Has anyone tested if the new Collada 2.4 works with the OSG Plugins? Can anyone provide a copy of the good-working version of Collada for me to build? -- Randall Hand www.yeraze.com<http://www.yeraze.com> Steve Rice Associate Technical Fellow Distributed Technologies Strategic Development & Experimentation, Phantom Works Boeing Defense, Space & Security The Boeing Company +1-714-896-2659 (Office) +1-714-861-9655 (Cell)
