Ah thanks. Gerrit have merged my pullrequest and pushed it there. Either way seems fine, but as I already had a github fork of OpenSG, that was easiest for me. > The places I've been previously that've used OpenSG are looking for > > options, mainly because development is dropping (their/my fault too, not > > making any contribs) and OpenSG is a bit too big & complex for their > > needs and a scene-graph isn't really state-of-the-art in how one express > > a 3D scene anymore (most game engines, and Qt 3d 2.0, use an entity > > based approach instead, and an frame/render-graph for stages). > > Could you elaborate a little so that I fully understand what that mean. I don't want to pick on OpenSG too much here, I'm still kind of fond of it, of course. But forcing both transforms, materials, lights (and sometimes render-graph order) to be defined by the same hierarchy (Nodes) isn't optimal in all (most?) cases. Very few game-engines are built that way these days, as it doesn't really scale to BIG scenes. (The guys I'm working with have done optimziations to save the render tree for static geometry to avoid traversing the graph each render, as that was a performance issue for some of their data sets.) Look at Qt 3D 2.0 for an example on an Entity based system, with and explicit render graph. (One could of course re-use the fieldcontainer concept and build an entity based system on top of it.) > Btw, I've gone from Lead Dev to a consultant so I've done most of my > > hacking in C# the last two years, on various projects in various places, > > and this task was something that fit well, as I've used OpenSG for ~10 > > years.

Yeah. Traffic seems light these days so I don't mind. My current assignment ends at end of October.
