Demo Models

Double click on SharedOSG.agpk3 and it should automatically install itself in your Application Data/AccessGrid3/SharedApplications directory. This will also automatically install itself in AG 3.2.

All complete!

To run the application, load Access Grid. Upload your 3D file that you want to view in the data section. Right mouse click on Application Sessions and create a new SharedOSG session. Right mouse click on the SharedOSG session and click "Open". Then in the SharedOSG window Select File>Open. Choose your 3D model from the menu and click OK.

Depending on the model size, it may take a few moments to load up.

More information

The rewritten library is now using [www.openscenegraph.org OpenSceneGraph] 2.6 version and osgSWIG for the wrapping with python (the latter developed by Hartmut Seichter).
