That's really useful to know. :) If there really is a problem tied to the DAE loader, you might discuss it with its author(s). Yes, that's a good idea. I think I should probably narrow it down a bit first before I did that though, in case the fault does not lie with the loader. -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=41220#41220 ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
Re: [osg-users] Reliable OpenSceneGraph asset import pipeline for animated skeletal models
I've seen the best luck (originating in Lightwave 3D) with the FBX or COLLADA file formats. Did you build and try those? They can be tricky to build. -- Chris 'Xenon' Hanson, omo sanza lettere. xe...@alphapixel.com http://www.alphapixel.com/ Digital Imaging. OpenGL. Scene Graphs. GIS. GPS. Training. Consulting.

Re: [osg-users] Reliable OpenSceneGraph asset import pipeline for animated skeletal models
Thanks for the fast reply and the suggestions. :) I've actually got an update to my original post with respect to FBX, but I wasn't quite fast enough in posting it- the forum topic was enabled at 1am this morning my time (cursed timezone differences!), and I couldn't post a follow-up until it was enabled. Anyway, I just gave DAE another shot, and the behaviour differs from the scenario I described above- it actually crashes the viewer on load under Windows, as opposed to loading and crashing on button press. It turns out that I had also inadvertently skipped it under Linux (argh, my mistake). I think this came about as I'd tried Windows first, and under Linux I just ran the various formats through one after the other, skipping the ones that didn't load. As the DAE plugin hadn't built on the Linux side, I skipped it. I also noticed an error message in the log (Windows) when loading it under Windows (ChooseMatchingPixelFOrmat()- Unable to choose the requested pixel format) that might have contributed. It might be worth my digging into the DAE plugin a bit more based on this. Thankyou for the suggestion. :) Re FBX, this one turned out to be quite interesting. :) Originally, I hadn't tried it (not part of the default build), but on a recommendation, I had a look at it specifically. I took the time to get it to build correctly (Windows), and used it. With this plugin, it was possible load a test animated model correctly with osganimationviewer, and I could browse through the resultant animations. I could also convert the model with osgconv to osg format and load the result. This is using OSG 3.0.0. So, success, so far! :) I'm wondering if it is a reasonable assumption to make that the FBX plugin is a bit more mature then the others, or better suited to the purpose, with respect to animated skeletal models? At the very least, I suspect that I'm on the right track now. :) -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=41177#41177 ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
