The 'OpenGL Distilled' is a good book to get you going
 
There is currently is no OSG book a lot of this has to do with a moving target and the cost, if you want to know more do a search of the mail archive this has been discussed quite a lot recently
 
If your new to SceneGraphs then I recommend grabbing the Performer Getting started and Programmers Guide, while targeted at SGI Performer, these are still a very good reference and most concepts cross directly to OSG
 
 http://www.sgi.com/products/software/performer/developer.html
 
 
Looking through the Examples provided with OSG  will give you an insight as to how Opengl and OSG are related and used together and then of course you have the full source to OSG to really see how it is done..
 

Best Regards

 

Gordon

An OSG book (probably a set of books) is in the very early stages of development. We do not have a schedule yet. We're just working on the form the book(s) will take, table of contents, etc.
 
The OpenGL Programming Guide is the definitive OpenGL book, but if you are already familiar with another API then I'd recommend OpenGL Distilled, http://www.opengldistilled.com (sorry for the blatant plug). I understand the OpenGL SuperBible is being revised but that work will not be done for quite some time yet.

Is there a OSG book? Either purchasable on Amazon or available in PDF?
 
What book do you recomend for OpenGL? I am a little lost on how OSG uses OpenGL.
