Ampere,
I have also many thoughts for a switch to osg.
Well, I already have concrete plans how this can be done with a smooth
transition.
May be you can share your document?
I am preparing some abstraction classes to make such a transition smooth.
The first thing will be to make fg independent of sg* vectors and matrices.
Have a set of classes in my local tree which will be self consistent and will
interface very well with sg* vectors. The same interfacing can be made for
osg:: datatypes.
Using this we can easier use the same scenegraph independent code paths with
less 'type conversion by copy' operations.
What is really a problem and we need to do for osg is the ac3d loader which
makes perfect smooth models. But it ignores the crease angle and is dead slow
at the moment. Also a fast tri/quad stripper for that thing would be
beneficial.
So if somebody who has time and knows how these things must be done, this will
be very good contribution.
Greetings
Mathias
