Hmm, does quite large mean > 8k or 16k on most hardware? Particular for trees, we easily have tens of thousands of instances, and if the hardware could cope, we might scale even higher. However there's already code to split this into batches, so even with a limit of 8k or 16k, it's still a viable solution. I'm happy to post a submission to support the extension, but would need a bit of guidance on what the API should like to be in keeping with the OSG spirit, and hence be likely to be accepted :) James _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
