Art,
Here are the link to the MPV project:

As well the scene graph looks something like this, before adding much data in
there:
RootNode
EntityBranchNode
Entities...
TerrainBranchNode
Terrain info...
SkyBranchNode
Sky info...
If I do a sceneGraphDump when there a terrain and other stuff loaded I get a
really long dump but I still can't see any information about cameras or such...
What I do get from the MPV which is related to the rendering is:
In a RenderCameraCigiSDLOSG plugin they handle the viewport and get the
sceneView as such: osgUtil::SceneView *sceneView = viewport->getSceneView();
(would need to modify the current MPV code to get a hold of this)
What I can get a hold of directly is:
//=========================================================
//! The camera matrices, one for each view. Each one of these is a
//! complete modelview matrix. Retrieved from the blackboard.
//!
std::map< int, osg::Matrix > *cameraMatrixMap;
//=========================================================
//! Map containing the view group parameters (provides additional
//! view transformation, etc). Retrieved from the blackboard.
//!
std::map< int, ViewGroupParams * > *viewGroupParamsMap;
//=========================================================
//! Map containing the view parameters (used for frustum setup,
//! entity-following, etc). Retrieved from the blackboard.
//!
std::map< int, XL::XLPtr<View> > *viewMap;
Again thanks for your help!

Hi Patrick,
osgPPU does use the camera only in to get its
texture (so the texture to which the scene is rendered). You do not
require a camera at all, you can use UnitTexture to provide osgPPU
pipeline with any texture (or with the texture you get from MPV). To
provide a texture you need some protocol to get the texture from MPV
into osg::Texture container. Have you some link to the MPV, so that I
can get more info about it?
How are you managing the combination of osg and mpv?
cheers
Art,
