Quote - [You'd be guessing correctly, if the coders are worth a damn. If the app itself can do it, it wouldn't take much at all to expose that bit of API to the scripting engine.

I wouldn't worry about that yet. Toss it on the wish list, IMHO. Not that user requests are insignificant or anything (on the contrary, they're damned valuable), but you've got a big enough hill to climb right now. :)

Lol - true enough.  Right now I'm concentrating on setting up the development environment.  Did something today that would have the Linux community storming my house with torches and pitch forks if they knew where I lived, I setup a copy of Linux running as a virtual machine under Windows XP 64. 

Yes, I know. blasphemy of the highest order, but my development machine at home also doubles as our primary desktop as well, so setting up a full blown copy of Linux probably wouldn't go over to well with the wife :)

So I'm running a Linux distro under Sun's Virtualbox, must admit so far I'm pretty impressed with virtualbox, seems to run pretty stable and all in all offers pretty much all the bells and whistles VMware does without the hefty price tag.

But I've gotten most of the development environment setup now and the libraries installed, so next step will be mocking up a basic interface and seeing about getting an api built to read Poser format files.  My least favorite part of any job, trying to write code to deal with file formats that somebody else came up with and never fully documented :)

Oh well, once that's out of the way it should be fairly smooth sailing, OGRE already has a lot of the capabilities I need built in, and from what I've been reading ODE will make up a good portion of what OGRE doesn't cover.  Don't get me wrong, still going to be a long haul to alpha, but so far so good

-Never fear, RenderDog is near!  Oh wait, is that a chew toy?  Yup. ok, nevermind.. go back to fearing...
