Hi Michele,
Thanks for this. You're probably right, I was floundering about a bit
in that snippet of code I sent. Robert's suggestion contained a much
neater solution - using the sign of the dot product of the vectors
between eye point and face normal. i.e. cull when this is negative.
(Convieniently, the node visitor gives you the eye point in local
coordinates). All this is neatly wrapped up in ClusterCullingCallback
class, so all I needed was one line of code to acheive my objective!
Cheers.
Chris.

Hi Chris,
I did something similar once, I am not totally sure but I think that the
vector should be multiplied before the matrix and that you need to multiply
only the direction component without the position. Once you have the
direction transformed in camera space to see if it faces the camera you
should only need to test if the Z component is > 0 (assuming a right handed
reference system).
Good luck,
Michele
