For a static scene in a CAD environment, the answer is 'no'. Continuous rendering is needed for the "immersion effect" for VR systems, so for a smooth animation or smooth camera movements. For animation, OSG has an internal notion of "frame time". > 2. Are there any known uses of OSG like this, or in a similar > environment? > > 3. Is there anything else I need to be aware of if I am doing this? Look out for window repaint events. You need to rerender your scene then, or you have to buffer your rendering output using FBO's or pbuffers. > > On a different note does anyone know what method OSG uses to manage > coordinate truncation / scaling issues when dealing with the teapot in > the desert like scenario?

So put your geometry in local coordinate systems with an origin nearby your geometry and transform them to the correct places. This is also valuable for your database design, as anyways floats or doubles loose precision when they have large values. regards Ralph _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
