That change is the result of the '[osgPlugins] VRML plugin - "file" url'
discussion on osg-users.
The attached change avoids rewriting file names into some kind of file urls
and then use the url for opening an fstream. Instead just use the given file
name to open the stream.
Also this change adds some Notify output for the error paths.
"
As it works (for our needs at least) I've done and attached a tar.gz file for the VRML2 plugin with a new part to write a VRML2 file from an osg one.
The read part is the same as in osg 2.9.9.
The write part code is in convertToVRML.cpp and .h files. It works for some osg nodes (group, geode, matrixTransform, positionAttitudeTransform and geometry). Textures are converted to jpeg (if not translucent) or png (if translucent).
There are some options that could be given to the writer (with -O switch) :
convertTextures=0 to copy textures without converting them to jpeg or png
convertTextures=-1 do not copy textures, keep them in their original format and location
convertTextures=-2 do not use textures, parse only geometry
convertTextures=-3 (default) convert textures to jpeg or png ones.
textureUnit=X in case of multiple textures, X= texture unit to use (default value=0)
directoryTexture=aPath when texture will be copied, it will be in this directory, not in the current one."
The plugin can now handle embeded PixelTexture fields in addition to the
already implemented ImageTexture fields.
Fixed a bug with texture repeat being applied to the wrong texture dimension.
Added handling for IndexedLineSet geometries."
osg::ref_ptr<osg::Node> ReaderWriterVRML2::convertFromVRML(openvrml::node *obj)
The fixes are:
* Added the source's parent directory as search directory for image files.
* The material properties are now set in the stateset of the Geode rather than the Geometry. This will allow geometries to be reused with different material properties in future updates.
NB: I planned for a caching scheme in which multiple occurences of the same primitive (e.g., Cylinders with radius 0.8 and height 1.2), would use the same Geometry object. Unfortunately, my planning moved me to other areas, but I might still finish the caching scheme in a quiet hour. For the time being I decided it would be a good thing to already submit my current changes.

1) Full DOS paths are now correctly opened by OpenVRML. A URL containing
a DOS path should be "file:///C:data/blah" rather than "file://C:data/blah".
2) The last primitive defined in "coordIndex" is now added if the
"coordIndex" is not terminated by -1.
3) Smoothed normals are computed if no normal field is provided.
Currently, there is no support for "creaseAngle", so all edges (even the
ones sharper than the creaseAngle) are smoothed. I might add this in the
future if demand rises.
4) If an IndexedFaceSet contains only triangles or quads then the
primitive type is set to TRIANGLES or QUADS, and the primset becomes
DrawArrays rather than DrawArrayLengths.
Question: I noticed that for DrawArrays you can still provide an index
array. Would the rendering be faster if I'd create DrawElements primsets
rather than DrawArrays? Phrased differently, what is the benefit of
using DrawElements over DrawArrays, as there is clearly not a one-to-one
mapping of these concepts to their OpenGL counterparts?
5) Objects are added to the transparent bin and blend mode is enabled
only if the transparency is nonzero. Rendered transparent objects no
longer write the depth buffer."
* Support for Box, Sphere, Cone, and Cylinder. These nodes are converted
to osg::Geometry conform the VRML97 spec.
* Backface culling is enabled/disabled according to the "solid" flag for
geometries that are converted from IndexFaceSets.
* PROTO instances can now be used for "appearance" and "geometry" fields
in a Shape node.
The file ReaderWriterVRML2.cpp is adapted for the latest stable public
release:
http://www.openscenegraph.org/svn/osg/OpenSceneGraph/tags/OpenSceneGraph-2.2.0
The changes where needed for being able to read VRML file which are
output by VMD (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/). A sample VRML file
is enclosed in this submission.
The plugin has been tested against a number of VRML samples that include
texturing. The texturing is found to be VRML97 compliant for all added
geometry nodes.

will bring the change in line with what is done on other OSes (Linux)
and works in all tested cases.
For reference, this was tested with:
osgviewer <file>.wrl (file in current directory)
osgviewer <dir>\<file>.wrl (file in child directory, relative)
osgviewer .\<dir>\<file>.wrl (file in child directory, specify current)
osgviewer <drive>:\<dir>\<file>.wrl (absolute path)
"
OpenVRML 0.14.3 and is without the Boost dependency.
The changes:
- - Fixed loading of textures and normals when no corresponding indices
are specified. It uses vertex indices now, compliant with the VRML spec.
- - Added colour per vertex support.
- - Added group node support.
- - Changed the code to use osg::ref_ptr instead of naked pointers to
avoid memory leaks.
- - Fixed breakage for loading files specified by relative path."
completed the new registration of the plugin-readerwriters
("REGISTER_OSGPLUGIN") according to your osgstaticviewer-example (see
attachment, based on today's svn)."
