Hi Robert, I was looking through CullVisitor and trying to get my head around the difference between the eye point and the viewpoint. Is the viewpoint stack is used to deal with internal camera nodes then? Then the "eye" point is the main camera's position while the "view" point would be used for currently executing camera node. If you don't have any internal camera nodes, then would the eye point and the viewpoint be equivalent?
Do you think it would make sense to just copy the implemention from CullVisitor for the viewpoint/eyepoint stack into IntersectionVisitor? Thanks!
