 		Does anyone know a free tool for creating UML diagrams? I found UMLet but it looks like it works only as an Eclipse plugin.

 		Sorry its not useful but JDeveloper has a UML tool that converts your UML to actual code (and vice-versa).
I just use visio for my UML (not free for all but i got it for free)

 		I want it to create an illustration of the OSG object hierarchy. I was looking for something that is as simple as possible. I think I'll end up making it in notepad. That will do as a quick reference.

 		I think there may be a few over on SourceForge. I ran across one on CodeProject. I can't remember anything about it, though.

It's not that complex. It just lets you deal with things at a lower level than Ogre, Irrlicht, etc.

I decided to use NotePad. I don't feel like spending few days learning how those programs work.

 		lower level means more code i'm not bashing OSG; i can appreciate the power of it but like you said, it lets you do stuff lower level than ogre and certainly irrlicht. You just have to know your stuff a bit better though.

 		Visual Paradigm for UML 6.0 Community Edition has most if not all uml diagrams. Its fully functional, but put a watermark on your work.

I know you're not bashing it, I just wanted to nuance things.
