There's very little that's not possible. ;)

OpenSG's Geometry is targeted at rendering with OpenGl. As such it is 
pretty low-level as far as Geometry data structures go, so there are no 
edges or other elements that typical geometry processing tools like 
OpenMesh have.

So if you need a geometric representation of Silhouettes and feature 
lines, we don't have support for that, sorry.

That said, there are ways to just render them, based on GPU tricks. I 
haven't done any of that, but there have been a whole bunch of 
publications. One of the older ones is Ramesh Raskar 'Image precision 
silhouette edges' or his 'Hardware support for non-photorealistic 
rendering'. Find them on google scholar and check out the papers that 
cite them, that should give you enough information to get it going.

I don't know anybody who's done NPR with OpenSG yet, anybody?
