Thanks Frank. I don't think I'm having the same problem. I fail to
get an interestion hit of my HUD geometry when it's over the background.
I don't get 3-D geometry instead. I get nothing.
I'm not sure if J-S's idea that something in changing between the
perspective and orthogonal cameras is the problem either. I saw no
improvement running accept on the HUD camera first. It seems we wouldn't
be changing in that case.
It looks like I need some quality debugging time.

I had a problem in my application some time ago that sounds similar. I
have worked around the issue in a way not unlike Jean-Sébastien Guay.
If I remember correctly, the problem I was experiencing was due to the
fact that the intersections are sorted by depth without regard to
viewports. So even though the HUD geometry is rendered ontop of the
perspective geometry it could have a larger depth and thus ends up
further down the list. You can easily check if this is your issue by
printing all of the intersections.

Hi J-S,
Thanks for your suggestion, but your workaround didn't work for me.
I've been running OSG 2.8.3 and also tried 2.9.7 with no improvement.
In my code _s_scene->getHUDCamera() returns the post render camera for
my HUD geometry. I also have a pre render camera used for a background
image that I skip with a NodeMask. If I disable the NodeMask the only
node I intersect with the perspective camera is my background image quad.
Could this be a clue, or is it just a side issue?

Hi Don,
I'm having a problem with not being able to pick on my HUD geometry when
the main camera has a perspective projection. My app is able to toggle
between
perspective and orthographic. Picking on the HUD geometry works fine with
orthographic, and the HUDs are visible in both projections.
This sounds a bit like the reason why in the example I sent a little
while ago to test out the changed I had made to QWidgetImage, I had to
customize the computeIntersections() method when my widget was under an
ortho projection (i.e. displayed fullscreen). Unfortunately I didn't get
to look into why that was, I just worked around it.
The workaround I used was to give the IntersectionVisitor directly to
the ortho camera instead of starting it from the root (the viewer's main
camera, which is the perspective one).
If I had to venture a guess I'd say it looks like some values are
lingering around from the perspective projection once the
IntersectionVisitor gets to the ortho camera, almost as if it hadn't
seen that the ortho camera is in referenceFrame ABSOLUTE_RF (which means
it should start over fresh, not multiply by the previous matrix). But as
I said, I haven't dug any deeper, so that's just a hunch.
Hope this helps in some small way,
J-S
