Hi Morne, You can modify the scene graph in the event traversal, just like you can with the update traversal. The only thing you need to be careful about is that if you are modifying StateSet (and its contents) and Drawables and their a rendering threads that are using these still running - this only happens for the DrawThreadPerContext and CullThreadPerCameraDrawThreadPerContext threading models. The way to avoid the main thread doing the updates and the rendering thread(s) for overlapping is to make the StateSet and Drawable with a DataVariance of DYNAMIC.
