Thanks for the compliments, glad the QSG is helpful. I'm pretty thick-skinned. I didn't really take Renan's post as offensive. I would, however, like to extract some useful criticism so that I can make improvements if necessary. Specific change requests are appreciated. For example, I had a specific request to flesh out the transformation info further, and I'd like to do that in a future edition.
If Renan really is looking for "Tutorials" as the subject implies, Joe Sullivan has some excellent ones here: http://www.nps.navy.mil/cs/sullivan/osgtutorials/ I understand the comment that it'd be nice to create some geometry before having to learn memory management. I can't really figure out a way to do that without a) a lot of hand waving, or b) showing code that leaks memory. So I'm open to suggestions here. I intend to produce other OSG documentation in the future with Bob Kuehne, such as an OSG Programming Guide that will be more comprehensive than the Quick Start Guide. Maybe that will help. -Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Nick Prudent > Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 3:21 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [osg-users] Tutorials > > I'm a newbie too and I disagree.
