[osg-users] [Blender and OSG]

[Bob Huebert]

Our best experience has been to export either as either obj or osg (using 
osgexport). The osgexport blender plugin has the advantage of handling 
animations within a single .osg file, obj handles anims as well, but 
produces one .obj file for each timestep.
