Hi Neil, I second this. With the scene you're discussing, I wouldn't expect to be able to sprinkle a few OccluderNodes around the scene and have it magically work and run at 60fps. If your database already won't fit in memory, you're at least going to need to do some paging. --"J" _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
