dotscene question

I can't understand something about ogre .scene format. Where can i find the specs of this format ? what's the difference between 3dssceneexporter and dotsceneoctree ?
Dotsceneformat is the classes i need to read .scene format in ogre?

3dssceneexporter is just an exporter for 3ds; to export to .scene, nothing else.

if you want to use .scene files, use Demo_dotscene (in the dotscene directory) how to use it. it's very easy
te difference between dotsceneformat and dotsceneoctree is that dotsceneoctree just displays the .scene as an ordinary octree

The specs are available in a directory call 'dotsceneformat' in the ogreaddons module.

I'd like to add two things:

1. .scene files can be used with any scene manager.

2. The dotScene Octree SceneManager uses a precompilation step to 'bake' static geometry into an octree. For certain applications it makes sense to do so (-> performance).

I noticed that Octopus exporter does not work with dotsceneoctree ! And i haven't got max sdk to compile 3dssceneexporter

Why we can't never find a binary version of the plugins ??

Can you be a bit more specific? What doesn't work? Are the dotsceneoctree capable of reading the latest dotScene format?

The octopus exporter create a .scene file with these lines:

<rotation qx="0.0" qy="0.0" qz="0.0" qw="1.0" />

that make my dotscene convert crash.

I don't know what version i have of dotsceneoctree, or octopus exporter.. CVS are driving me crazy!!

No, no! Not at all! Really thanx! I even didn't know that you can run a .scene with the normal scene manager

That's the reason why I repeat myself so often regarding .scene

The name of the scene manager is really misleading, IMHO.

I try and take a look at octopus over the weekend. I'm not familiar with its code but I can't reach the author atm.
