Hi, Jeremy: i don't know if this can be of interest to you, but if it can help you...
The book DirectX 9 User Interfaces: Design and Implementation is the only reference i have found that explain how to do a GUI with DirectX from ground up. You can avoid the directX things, the book has some (short) comments about the pitfalls to avoid when designing a GUI. The GUI developed in the book seems quite similar than the one that ships with DirectX (coincidence?), but there will not be many issues doing that with OSG. Of course, i have nothing to do with the author or the publisher. This is not 'propaganda', just knowledge interchange. :) I haven't found any other reference about the topic of designing GUIs. Have you? Cheers. 2007/7/3, Jeremy L. Moles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I'm working on one myself. :) Just need time... time... who ever has enough? At any rate, if you don't use CEGUI there really isn't much else. Hopefully I can have the osgHUD NodeKit working in the coming months. > Manu. > > > 2007/7/3, Robert Osfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi Guy, > > The osgcegui example was my abortive attempt at getting CEGUI > to work > in a well that integrates well with the OSG.
