I demoed a beta of the occlusion query work at the SIGGRAPH OSG BOF, so it does (in fact) exist and is not vaporware :-). Funding for the project was temporarily on hold but should be back online this fall. At that point, I hope to make the final changes required to get the work included into the core OSG distribution. The support for CAD models is PolyTrans- (and therefore Windows-) specific. I won't be contributing this to the core OSG distribution. However, I intend to work with Okino Computer Graphics to ensure that the code is freely distributed with their PolyTrans SDK. The details of this haven't been worked out yet.

Details are available in the following press release: <http://www.skew-matrix.com/press04.html> http://www.skew-matrix.com/press04.html You may have seen posts from me regarding the occlusion query work. This has been in development for some time. It's in the form of a NodeKit called "osgOQ" and is very close to beta. I'll post a tar/zip to the community page and announce it here after a few more changes. The osgOQ work will be open source and licensed under the OSGPL. My intent is to submit it for inclusion in core OSG. The PolyTrans work for importing CAD files through PolyTrans will be MS Windows-only (sorry, this is not my restriction). Distribution terms are being worked out. Again, I'll post here when I know more. Paul Martz Skew Matrix Software LLC http://www.skew-matrix.com <http://www.skew-matrix.com/> 303 859 9466
