Hi,

I have a small amount of extra info to add, which confuses me even more. 
Revisting all my code I discovered that my overlays actualy use two eye linear 
tex gens (one for close items, one for distant ones, a bit like the parralel 
split shadow maps) with different matrices and different units. These work fine 
in isolation, but don't work when I add in the third shadow tex gen. The code 
that adds the tex gens to the positional state container is almost identical.

I am now very confused as to why I can use two tex gens for my overlays but it 
wont work with shadows added.

Cheers,

Brad

Hi Robert,

I am currently adding shadows to my scene (which is going well) but in doing so 
I have hit this issue. I already use an eye linear tex gen in my scene to 
render overlays (very similar code to the osgSim::OverlayNode). I don't think 
it would be possible for me to split the renderering accross two different 
RenderStages as the two tex gens are used from within the same shader to render 
my terrain (one for applying shadows and the other for applying overlays). 

I have had a look at the PositionalStateContainer class and I do not understand 
why the issue exists. The tex gens use different texture units and as such 
there matrices are stored and applied seperately. However the result I am 
seeing is one of the two always 'wins' and its matrix is applied to both tex 
gens. 

This is an issue I will need to resolve so I am hoping you could provide some 
more guidance as to what would be the best solution.

Cheers,

Brad

Hi Paul,

Eye linear glTexGen is positional state, i.e. it's value depends on
the current modelview matrix, so has to be treated by the OSG like
other positional state like glLight and glClipPlane. All positional
state has to be positioned by a positional state node, and for
glTexGen this is TexGenNode.

During the cull traversal the OSG collects the positional state and
binds the TexGen/Light/ClipPlane to modelview matrix at that point in
traversal, this binding is done via the PositionalStateContainer, and
there is one of these per RenderStage.  During the draw traversal the
positional state is then applied prior to the traversal of the
RenderStage, and fixes each positional state in the appropriate place.
  While this technique doesn't properly fix the state as required, it
does limit you to one position, per stage, you can't have two eye line
tex gens/lights/clip planes applied on two separate subgraphs.

Object linear TexGen isn't positional state so can be applied in the
normal way and you have multiple of these per stage without problem.

To have multiple Eye linear TexGen/TexGenNode's you'll need to break
the scene up into multiple RenderStage and use the clear mask set to 0
on the subsequent stages so that each stage overlays correctly on the
previous one.  Other approaches are to write a custom TexGen that you
push/pop a custom modelview matrix.  I'm afraid both approaches are
rather hacky.

Robert.
