SharedOSG was initially started by Rhys Hawkins who created an OpenSceneGraph plugin for Access Grid 2.3. The code has been rewritten and enhanced with new features for Access Grid 3.2

- Telepointer for each participant
- Latest OpenSceneGraph engine
- Wireframe viewing
- Resizable window & Full screen mode
- Colour code participants telepointers
- Filter files list to only display 3D files
- Control panel with configuration options
- List of current participants in session
- Ability to edit own telepointer colour, name, and ava
To Do
- Master / Slave options and Interactive Option
- Create Linux & Mac versions
- Add progress loading bar whilst 3d object is loading
User Guide
- Left Mouse = Rotate
- Middle Mouse = Move
- Right Mouse = Zoom
- Enter = Telepointer Mode
- w = wireframe mode
- s = gpu statistics
- spacebar = reset to default view
At present for version 2.0.2 you can modify the colour and shape of your telepointer but changing the config.ini file inside the SharedOSG folder found in the /Application Data/AccessGrid/SharedApplications folder. In the next release you will be able to modify these setting in the SharedOSG command windows.
Beta Download
Current requirements are:
- Access Grid 3.1 or 3.2beta1
- Windows XP
- Reasonably good graphics card (nVidia recommended) - depending on what model you load.
To install this initial beta version download the following file
http://www.hitlabnz.org/downloads/sharedOSG/SharedOSGv2.0.2.agpkg3
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 OpenSceneGraph 2.6 version and osgSWIG for the wrapping with python (the latter developed by Hartmut Seichter).
