You seem to be making this more complicated than it is. osgFX is a library containing classes that derive from Group. These classes, when used in your scene graph as parents of subgraphs, enforce new rendering effects on the subgraph. If you want to use the classes in osgFX in your application, you must link your application with the osgFX library. This is all just really basic C++, so don't let the term "NodeKit" confuse you. -Paul

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?

But I'd like to hear Robert's definition. Use them just like any core OSG Node, Drawable or StateAttribute, but note that your app will now have to link with the NodeKit library. -Paul _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Wraae Marino Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 12:36 PM To: osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org Subject: [osg-users] osg Node kits Hi users, I'm trying to understand the concept of a node kit, but the documentation is very limited: http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Support/KnowledgeBase/NodeKi t I believe that the osgFX is a node kit? what is it that defines a node kit? and how does one use them? perhaps someone can give an example how to apply the cartoon effect? I can see that they register themselves, does this mean I can apply them to any object runtime? anyone?
