Hi Paul, That's basically what it states in that link I supplied.
words like "derives new Nodes" would make me think I would have to derive from something else than osg:Node?? and you mentioned link the NodeKit library? which library? is in the osg project or another repositorary¨? When I look at osgFX i.e. the Cartoon effect it derives from osgFX::Effect which in turn derives from osg::Group - which makes me think what is the difference? there is no nodekit involved? or is there? You said that I need to link with a nodekit libaray and does this mean I have to use certain functions in that library? and if so,,.. which?
