Hi Laurence,

I dont know what the winmail.dat in attachement is, i am not on windows. I will try tomorrow your main.cpp in previous mail and with the svn to be sure osgAnimation works fine with the svn.

About time in callback you can read the code of some updatecallback in osgAmimation. It will give you an example how to manage time.

Cheers,
Cedric

Hi Cedric,

hmm for some reason the post of Guy wasn't added to the right thread in the 
maillist ( 
http://lists.openscenegraph.org/pipermail/osg-users-openscenegraph.org/2009-March/025337.html
 )
I tried out his suggestion and got something like a self-deleting callback 
working (Demo file is attached). I just need to figure out how to measure the 
time between the callback calls. For now it just increments the 'time' value 
with a fixed number.
It would ofcourse be nicer if I could use an exciting class that handles the 
scheduling/timeline.


About your request, I do not know how to create a stacktrace here with Visual 
Studio 2005, but that would require the debug libraries of OSG right? I could 
try stepping through the code with the debugger later this week and see where 
it locks up/crashes.
I also noticed that there are some other issues with the (animation?) demos. 
After building the OSG 2.9.1 package (svn), I tried out a few of the animation 
demos. Running the demos is not a problem, but if you try to close them, it 
usually result in a crash. I'm not sure if its the osgAnimation part thats 
causing it or the viewer.

Kind regards,
- Laurence
P.S.: Sorry about the previous reply, I made a mistake while attaching the 
file... ;\

Hi Laurence, Before i dig into can you give the stacktrace to have an idea where it crashes ?

Hi Cedric,

I tried to create a simple project based on the 'osganimationmorph' demo as Robert Osfield suggested.

Instead of loading the geometries from a *.osg file, I define two new geometries (both quads but on a different position). These geometries are added as a drawable to the MorphGeometry. However, for some reason OSG doesn't allows me to swap the old geom0 and geom1 geometry objects with the ones I create. The application crashes when you try to run it.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,
- Laurence

<div class="moz-text-flowed" style="font-family: -moz-fixed">Hi Laurence,

You can easily do it with morphgeometry:
- define two geometry with morphgeometry
- use an custom update callback that use an ease motion to control the ratio of geometry to use

Would be great to make an example with it, it will help others users.

Cheers,
Cedric

Hi,

In the application I am working on, I am trying to create a smooth (transition) animation on the vertices inside an object.

Example:
I have included an illustration to make my problem a bit more clear. The current scene contains one geode with a geometry attached. The geometry is filled with 7 quads (4 vertices per quad) and is illustrated as red dots in the picture. (The 'edges' are stored in a separate geode)

The application allows users to select a specific layout (radial, force based, etc) for the quads. In the current implementation this change happens immediately. (It updates the vertex array with new values and uses the dirty() call on the vertex array).

On the OSG wiki page I found some information about animating objects in the scene graph. http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Community/NodeKits/osgAnimation
http://www.robertpenner.com/easing/easing_demo.html

However, it seems like this will only work on geode level (by modifying the Matrix or PositionAttitudeTransformation). Another problem with this method is that it seems that you need to create a predefined animation.

In my case the new position of a vertex will depend on the current position (and the animation only needs to be used once).

Question:
- Is there a way to use the osgAnimation functions on the vertex array and is it possible to use it with the transition methods from the EaseMotion demo?

Kind regards,
- Laurence
