I'll start pushing vertices then, and maybe I'll get around to releasing a new version. I might hold on to it a while though, as apparently osg<v2.9.10 hasn't got support for bc5 .dds normalmaps :( . > > Btw: I think the Tempest looks great, and it's a shame to use such a > > small texture, please consider using at least 2048x2048 ;) > > Thank you for that.
