I was looking for some SciVis classes for OSG, along the lines of VTK's very 
rich collection? 

It is possible to use use VTK as a "visualization" engine to prepare data for 
OSG (vtkActorToOSG), and I am prepared to go that way, but that is not 
particularly efficient in memory and speed as data has to be translated both 
ways.


I evaluated using either VTK and OSG for a project , but found the VTK scene 
graph implementation is, in my experience,  poorly implemented, and performance 
is not good once a scene graph gets more than a few levels deep. VTK's 
abstraction from the underlying graphics API also hurts performance. One of  my 
test cases showed a 20x performance hit over OSG.
