Hi Viggo,
This is only a suggestion (you may have other reasons). To avoid the human
error as you called it, meaning that if someone forgets to call the reformat
code...
then you should have a method that 3rd party code/humans must use when
adding to your scene, for example
void CMySceneManagerThingy::AddToScene( osg::Node* pNode )
{
// add to wherever you want the pNode to be added in the scene
<code here>
// reformat your scene as you want
<code here>
}
on the other subject about rendering multitimes the same object.. you should
just create a new group and add your objects to that group
and the group to the scene (do this as many times as you want)..
don't know why you should be messing around with the renderbins? unless you
are trying somekind of render pass?
regards,
Peter
