3dsMax Cal3D and OSG exporting in a R3 and R2.5 environment

[Gladsomebeast]

OSG:

For Vizard 3 compatible output:
Get the statically linked exporter from the OSG page and install it.
0.9.3 prerelease 4: http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php?page=OSGExp.Download
This OSG exporter produces IVEs and OSGs that do not work with Vizard 2.5.

For Vizard 3 and 2.5 compatible output:
1.) Download the OSG exporter zip from the Vizard download page.
2.) Ignore readme.txt and copy OSGExp.dle and OSGHelper.dlo into your Max plugins folder.
3.) Copy the following DLLs from your Vizard 2.5 bin directory into the Max root folder:
OpenThreadsWin32.dll
osg.dll
osgDB.dll
osgdb_ive.dll
osgdb_jpeg.dll
osgdb_osg.dll
osgdb_osgParticle.dll
osgdb_png.dll
osgdb_tga.dll
osgdb_tiff.dll
osgFX.dll
osgGA.dll
osgParticle.dll
osgSim.dll
osgText.dll
osgUtil.dll
Previewer.dll


Cal3D:

1.) Get the zip from Vizard download page.
2.) Put the .dle and .dli files in the Max plugins folder.
3.) Put the .dll in the Max root folder.

This Cal3D method works with Vizard 2.5 and 3.

This new exporter install procedure is necessary due to the removal of the Vizard 2.5 bin directory from the PATH variable for Vizard 3 to work.
