Eagerly waiting for the release of the kdTree support :) John

If you are using the OSG's osgUtil::IntersectionVisitor or the old IntersectVisitor for HAT calculatations then you will find it slow if you are doing many tests per second. So what to do about it? Oooh well you just be patient, then when I give the nod update to the latest OSG and just recompile your code and hey presto most of high intersection cost will be gone ;-) What I'm working on right now is KdTree support, this support will integrate directly with the existing scene graph and IntersectionVisitor. The KdTrees can be automatically generated on loading of data, and the intersection routines will automatically detect the presence of the KdTree assigned to geometry leaves and use these for intersection testing so it'll all work pretty transparently. This work isn't complete yet, but should be working early next week. Robert.
