Hi Chris Thanks for your reply.
Yeah, it definitely feels like an off-road excursion ;) Last time I used OSG was when you still had to use Performer. I am trying to simulate a bunch of autonomous systems/agents that use cameras to control their actions (they can see each other, the environment, etc.). Each agent runs on a separate thread, and needs to render the scene according to its own point of view. I have three different rendering requirements: 1) Each agent must render their camera according to their POV at each instant and simultaneously. This rendering must be performed off-screen because their images are meant for processing by each agent's control system and are thus not intended for human eyes. This has not yet been implemented - I was planning on using a viewer in each agent's thread that renders to a pBuffer. 2) General overview view Display (for human eyes only): Here I want to render the scenery for general visualization where I can chose any vantage point. I have this working, as a viewer in my main thread. 3) Agent view Display (for human eyes only): Here I want to select an agent and see its camera feed. I was thinking of using one viewer here and then when selecting an agent to see its POV, I would slave the viewer's camera with the viewer in the agent's thread - it's here where things are going wrong. As you correctly inferred, I am a bit lost because I assumed that for each agent's camera view I must instantiate a separate viewer and I was doing this in each agent's thread. If you have any good advice for me, I certainly would greatly appreciate it!
