[osg-users] [Blender and OSG]

Bonjour Jean-Baptiste,

Try the blender-osg exporter posted earlier

It has worked well for me (even though I have not used it that much). It 
preserves the hierarchy, but you need to take care when you do some 
things (like applying textures) to make sure they survive the export and 
come out correctly in OSG.

Here is my collection of links when I had to explore the world of 
Blender-OSG exporting. :)

Note: I am *not* a modeler. I just play one on TV. ;)

Hope this helps,

J-S
