Hi Robert, I'm also interested in introducing the shader composition implementation in my OSG book in progress. But I have a deadline for each chapter and have to finish current chapter including shader composition before 30th June. So I'd like to know if the osgUtil::ShaderGenVisitor class will be the only interface to users, which means that new features merged into svn/trunk will not affect the content and examples of this book. :)
I will also contribute OSG prebuilts for windows users when 3.0 is released. It contains various 3rdparty plugins like jpeg, gif, png, tiff, svg, pdf, dae, vrml, ffmpeg and so on, and most dependencies are static libraries. Is it possible to place them in the OSG FTP and provide an installer on the website at that time?
