[osg-users] Questions about using OSG.

[A Z]

To whom it may concern,

I have a group of basic startup questions about use of the OSG
C++ 3D graphics library.

-Is it compatible with Windows, Android, Max, Linux?

-Are prebuilt 64 bit Windows .dlls available for download?

-It it easily compatible with WXWidgets?

-Can I use it to load and display/manipulate my model objects
from Blender 3D?

-IS OSG a low level C functions library like OpenGL, or is
it a higher level C++, one like Java 3D for example,
where everything is clearly named?

-Can I avoid use of Shaders quite entirely
and systematically, all whatsoever, when programming
via OSG?

Yours truly,

poweruserm.

Yes.

Also, the plural of "Mac" is "Macs", not "Max".

No, but there are plenty of build instructions online.

Blender outputs tons of different formats, many of which OSG can import.

C++.

"clearly named" sounds pretty subjective, but yes OSG objects are "clearly
named".

Sure, I don't see why not. You can even use OpenGL immediate mode for
everything if you want to.

I think you're overselling yourself with that name.
