Hi Andrey,

I did a proof of concept to put needed elements to osg. The main problem
is that currently there is no way to automatically get the location to
put the vertex attrib data.
The things i tried is to run the program once and dump the attrib
location and then edit the program to assign it. But it's hard coded and
not manageable for real use. The other stuff that would need some work
is the way to compute the bounding box. We can have different strategy:
- Define a specific bounding box, can be use when you just want to cull
without small detail so you setup a maximized bounding box.
- Define a low res skinning (software) and use the result to compute the
bounding box.

Currently the software implementation compute the bounding box from the
original vertex transformed. It can consume too much time and if you
have a lot of vertex and you just want to approximate the bounding box. 

There is a thread that talk about it

Anyway if you want to look to what is working, you can get my branch
at hg clone http://hg.plopbyte.net/osg-trunk/
the code is disabled but can be enabled to try it. I wait Paul Martz
submit its work about a new osg::Geometry that would be able to get the
attrib location.

Cheers,
Cedric
