Hi Christophe,
The definitive answer comes from the source:
void StateSet::setRenderingHint(int hint)
{
_renderingHint = hint;
// temporary hack to get new render bins working.
switch(_renderingHint)
{
case(TRANSPARENT_BIN):
{
_binMode = USE_RENDERBIN_DETAILS;
_binNum = 10;
_binName = "DepthSortedBin";
break;
}
case(OPAQUE_BIN):
{
_binMode = USE_RENDERBIN_DETAILS;
_binNum = 0;
_binName = "RenderBin";
break;
}
default: // DEFAULT_BIN
{
setRenderBinToInherit();
break;
}
}
}
Which shows that setting rendering bin number *and* bin name is
equivalent, but not bin number alone.
