Thanks again, guys. Jean-Sebastien, I apologize, but I did not notice your reply until just now!
I didn't write the Slow App code myself, but I do have the power to change it, if only on my local machine to test things. You are correct that, in both apps, the hierarchy is very flat, with a single group node, which I'll call the 'Scene Root', and all of the objects in the scene are children of this Scene Root, and siblings of one another. Although, by 'Object', what I really mean is a MatrixTransform that has, as its child, the root of a subgraph that contains many geodes, drawables, statesets, etc. It is the Matrix Transform that is given the 0x00 node mask in both the Quick App and in the Slow App. So, it SHOULD be enough to stop the cull visitor right away, and prevent it from looking any deeper into these objects' subgraphs. However, the way I did it in my Quick App is much simpler than how it is done in the Slow App. In the Quick App, for each object in the scene, I: - Load the FLT file & assign the result to a Node* - Create a new Matrix Transform - Set the Node* as a child of the Matrix Transform - Set the Matrix Transform as a child of the Scene Root - Set the Matrix Transform's node mask to 0x00 However, in the Slow App, there's actually a Model class of our own making, that has an osg::Group* member that stores a reference to the model's parent node, and an osg::MatrixTransform* that stores a reference to the model's Matrix Transform. The constructor of this class follows the same basic steps I outlined above, in order to wire everything together, but it's possible that I'm overlooking something amongst the added complexity.
