[osg-users] Textured ply file is black when loaded.

['Tom Pollok' via OpenSceneGraph Users]

While i agree that it makes no sense for ply to support any application 
specific formats, I still support the idea of allowing for importing a 
small subset of possibilities.
If the plugin is called osgdb_ply.dll, how should one know that it only 
supports the semantic of equalizergraphics. Is there a warning that only 
one format is supported? Is it documented other than by the implemented 
parser itself?

Anyways, I personally just think that the format that was used in the data 
that I used is not so special. If you take a look then it is semantically 
not much different than the ones used in obj files, except that there are 
extra  R G B A fields. And I think it is not a bad idea to have it, as it 
is then possible to have a binary way of storing large textured meshes.
