There was some discussion some months back about settling on one, but that's unlikely to happen anytime soon. For now, your main option is Cal3D.

I've already contributed a bit to it and can speak for it's soundness, and both myself and Cedric use Blender a great deal--so it's exporter there will be rock solid. :) I've made some videos of AnimTK mixing some simple animations from a model made in Blender, they're on the osgWidget website (because it also uses a simple osgWidget::Frame window :)) http://osgwidget.googlecode.com I can tell you this though: AnimTK is divorced from any kind of mesh format, so it wouldn't be impossible for the Collada plugin to use it to facilitate it's animation in OSG one day... > Regards, > > > > Kim. > > > > > > > * > To view the terms under which this email is distributed, please go to http://www.hull.ac.uk/legal/email_disclaimer.html > * > ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
[osg-users] CG for Simulation BOF at Siggraph
Hello, Shameless Plug: SCS Simulation and Computer Graphics BOF Tuesday 12:30-1:30PM Room 507 Does not conflict with the OSG BOF. Note: SCS = Society for Computer Simulation International (www.scs.org <http://www.scs.org/> ) There was an OpenScengraph paper published in the SCSC '08 conference sponsored by SCS. Also, a COIN paper (standards) in the SISO (Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization) conference. My paper (VRML) mentioned COIN and OSG. I'll give a very short synopsis of the CG and simulation events at SCSC '08 and pass out flyers for SCSC '09. I'll also talk about some OSG stuff from the National Association of Broadcasters meeting. BOF Organized late and so the agenda is completely open.

For that last part, I think I saw someone doing a web browser plugin that uses OSG to display objects/environments in a web page, streaming the content over the net. I can't remember who or find a link though. Perhaps someone else will be able to refresh my memory. But other than that, OSG can read some Web3D formats, and perhaps more in the future (if the new OpenVRML library is integrated). > I do have a pocket universe with 29 hours per day > for those that have to attend more BOFs. I like your sense of humor. :-) If only that were possible... When making my Siggraph schedule I had a massive 4-way conflict on Wednesday, and another smaller conflict on Thursday.

Re: [osg-users] loading vrml segfault
Hello, There is some header information that identifies the file type. So just looking at the first few lines should identify the version. Editing the type information can make a VRML 1.0 file believe that it is a VRML 97 file. However, if there are serious errors in loading files then there is a node with a field that has changed between VRML 1.0 and VRML 97. The best place to find out such information is in the VRML 97 specification and by looking at the various documents at www.web3d.org. You have to search because the focus is on 3-D XML = X3D. So, some of the VRML stuff is buried. But all the specs are there and probably archives of the old stuff (like VRML 1.0). One simple strategy is to preprocess and input files. This can be done manually by inputting the file to Chisel [vrml syntax checker] http://www2.hrp.no/vr/tools/chisel/install.htm This will tell you what statements in the file are invalid. Then you have to just replace them with the VRML 2 equivalent. I thought that there was a VRML 1.0 to VRML 97 translator on the consortium site but can't find it. John F.

VRML should work quite OK with the existing plugin. However, it will load only the meshes, textures and few simple primitives, e.g. at the level as exported by 3DS Max. It was intended as a stop gap solution for loading old assets while migrating away from VRML to a better data format (osg, Collada, ... ) when the Coin3D plugin stopped working properly. It is *not* and was not intended to be a full VRML loader/viewer. That would be a huge task and some of the VRML features do not have a meaningful mapping to OSG (protos, scripts, interaction, etc.) Regarding X3D I do not know - I have never used that.

[osg-users] OpenSceneGraph BOF at SIGGRAPH 2010
Greetings and Salutations to the OpenSceneGraph community,
Just a First Heads up for the OpenSceneGraph BOF at SIGRAPH 2010 in LA.
Please add to the Latest Community News on the website...:)
Start thinking of participation! Prepare your advanced presentations!
I organized the Birds of a Feather (BOF) meeting early enough so that it
received a fairly reasonable time slot. The morning of the day of the OpenGL
BOF. The morning was chosen after getting some feedback from the community
which seemed interested in it not overlapping with the OpenGL BOF. The
OpenGL BOF is put on by Khronos in the late afternoon and they give out free
beers...:)
Note: Because I organized it early, it will be listed in the program guides.
Also, it will be listed on the SIGGRAPH kiosk. This is about as much free
advertisement as you get at SIGGRAPH.
Computer Graphics for Simulation BOF
Los Angeles Convention Center [Room TBA by the SIGGRAPH BOF staff]
Wednesday, July 28, 2:30PM - 3:30PM
http://www.siggraph.org/s2010/for_attendees/birds_feather ( to see the
official listing)
FYI SIGGRAPH BOF musings
OpenCL BOF is Tuesday [Khronos late afternoon and probably free beers] but
overlaps with the COLLADA BOF. WebGL {Khronos late afternoon and possibly
more free beers} on Thursday. The Blender meetings are Monday. Most of the
Web3D meetings do not overlap [Tuesday (Carto, X3D/HTML5, X3D Medical) or
Thursday (X3D CAD, X3D members)]. So, in general OpenSceneGraph BOF does not
overlap with other BOF's of interest. That is nice.
The Basic Conference [the inexpensive registration] has certain events. The
Poster sessions do not overlap with OSG. You can see the posters all week.
The Research Challenge does not overlap with OSG. The Keynote Speakers are
Monday and Tuesday. Exhibition, Sandbox, Studio and Emerging Technologies
are all week. So you have plenty of time to take in all the technology and
still ATTEND THE OSG BOF!!!!!!

[osg-users] Call for Papers [Graphics Track at the Summer Computer Simulation Conference '11]
There has been OSG papers in SCSC before..and discussions of OSG at the presentations... I believe that this may of interest to the list members. Call for papers, The Computer Graphics for Simulation Track at the Summer Computer Simulation Conference [SCSC'11] is soliciting high quality papers for Presentation at the 2011 Summer Simulation Multiconference. 2011 Summer Simulation Multiconference (SummerSim'11) June 27 - 30, 2011 World Forum, The Hague, Netherlands SCS's 2011 Summer Simulation Multiconference is a part of the 2011 International Simulation Multi-conference (ISMC'11). This International Multiconference will include invited speakers, quality refereed papers, timely topical workshops, joint plenary sessions, consolidated registration, and access for registrants to all Multi-conference activities hosted at the World Forum, The Hague, Netherlands. The program consists of the following: * 2011 Summer Simulation Multiconference (SummerSim'11) o International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer & Telecommunication Systems (SPECTS'11) o Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC'11) o Grand Challenges in Modeling & Simulation (GCMS'11) TRACKS: + Methodology, Tools, Software Applications (M&S MTSA) o Posters Track * 2011 SISO European Simulation Interoperability Workshop (Euro SIW) Key Dates Paper Submissions February 15, 2011 Notification of Acceptance April 15, 2011 Final SubmissionMay 15, 2011 General Conference Site [Conference information / Author's Guidelines / Publication Details] http://www.scs.org , http://www.scs.org/summersim/2011 . TRACK SYNOPSIS Simulations can consist of focused physical simulations to complex interconnected systems. Simulations can be used to produce numbers. Some simulations can produce theories of human behaviors. Other simulations test security while others investigate industrial control. In some cases the result is just a number or statistic. In many cases, the result is anthropomorphic. Many simulations use graphics to present the results. Many simulations use virtual objects to represent the input to simulations. In many cases, the simulation must be visualized to reveal useful patterns in processes and models. This workshop/paper track is designed to elicit papers that present novel results in simulation visualization. The workshop/paper track focuses on several topic areas. The General Computer Graphics topic area is designed to solicit papers that apply state of the art graphics techniques to visualizing simulation results and simulation virtual environments. The Web3D / WebGL / HTML5 topic area is designed to extract from the research community, state of the art techniques for visualizing distributed simulations. Many physically based simulations require solutions of complex systems of equations that must have efficient computational grids to produce realistic results with minimal computer resources. The 3-D modeling and animation systems topic is an application topic that asks how mature and existing modeling and animation systems can be integrated into the task of visualizing simulations. The art and esthetics topic invites researchers to present their work on pure art applied to simulation visualization. Many of the topic areas involve advanced computer graphics techniques and in some cases, art of high caliber. Authors are encouraged to attach supplementary high-resolution renderings to their submissions for presentation in an exhibition at the conference [Fame and Glory is the reward].

Hello, The Communications Research Center of Canada is working on an X3D [VRML follow on] version of FreeWRL for the iPhone and Android. Try the Web3D consortium web site and see if there is a convertor. John F.

[osg-users] Work In Progress Paper Call for 2011 Summer Simulation Multiconference
Hello, There is a Computer Graphics for Simulation Track at the SCSC'11 conference and the conference attracts other graphics papers. The track has Simulation / X3D, WebGL and Scenegraph themes, so if you did not make the Web3D conference feel free to submit to the general WIP track. I know of one OSG paper that was submitted. Anyone want to make it 2. Or 3 or 10 or 100? WIP is your potential venue. Although this is call is for the WIP track for the multi-conference, I also encourage people to attend the conference if you are in Europe. It is a multi-conference and for the attendance fee you can attend SCSC'11 and other participating conferences [GCMS (sort of a supercomputer for Simulation conference), a telecommunications conference (SPECTS) and SISO's interoperability workshop]. CALL FOR WORK-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS = 2011 SUMMER SIMULATION MULTICONFERENCE (SUMMERSIM 2011) http://www.scs.org/summersim/2011 June 27 - 30, 2011, World Forum, The Hague, Netherlands The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum to discuss recent advances in various aspects and applications of M&S, which are addressed by focus areas of each of the conference within this multi-conference. The multiconference bridges various areas of modeling and simulation ranging from theory, methodology, and applications to verification and analysis, and the challenges involved in the process into a single exciting venue for the interchange of ideas and scientific discussion and education. Please submit the advanced but not fully developed results of your research for review by the technical program members of each conference using the following URLs: SCSC: http://www.softconf.com/scs/SCSC11/ SPECTS: http://www.softconf.com/scs/SPECTS11/ GCMS: http://www.softconf.com/scs/GCMS11/ The length of the Work-in-Progress papers is up to 6 pages in final conference format. All the papers of this conference will be included in the conference proceedings and the presented papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library for the SCSC and GCMS papers or in IEEE Xplore for the SPECTS papers.
