Loading and saving

To load a 3D model simply click "File → Load Data..." menu item and select the model file. Loaded model will appear in the data list. Several formats are available for loading:

  • OpenSceneGraph binary (*.osgb) - most common format. Contains all textures embedded, uses less space.
  • OpenSceneGraph ASCII (*.osgt) - debug format. Stores textures as separate files, uses more space, but provides human-readable format.
  • Wavefront OBJ (*.obj) - compatibility format. Stores textures as separate files, might be opened with external software.
  • OctoNus 3D model (*.mme) - internal format. 3D models of stones were exported from Pacor or Oxygen (limited support).

To save a 3D model, open it in a new tab. Then click "File → Save Data..." menu item. Several formats are available for saving:

  • OpenSceneGraph binary (*.osgb)
  • OpenSceneGraph ASCII (*.osgt)
  • Wavefront OBJ (*.obj)
  • No labels
