Re: [osg-users] Performance regression 3.6.3 vs 3.4.0

Hi Robert,
To clarify what I meant by 'link'. If you post on the forum, a matching
email would go to the mailing list. At some point that stopped working -
various SMTP errors would display  and so on. Simply put, if someone posts
on the forum, I don't think this mailing list gets the message.

[osg-users] [3rdparty] ImGui integration again

2019-08-08 Thread Noè Murr
Hi all,

I would like to use dear ImGUI with openscenegraph.
I see that the argument is already been discussed on this mailing list 
in 2017 
(https://www.mail-archive.com/osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org/msg75576.html).
Is there any news about that?
Is there a usable library that does the interaction or that would be a 
good starting point for my own library?

Greetings,
 Noè

I am not aware of any stability issues on the osg-users mailing list, so
this might be an issue with the link.  Could you point me at the webpage
where you had an issue with the link?

I think it was back working after a bit offline while I was away on
holiday, hadn't checked it recently (I don't admin the forum), checking
this morning it's offline again.

As a workaround for the above issue, and as I don't have any role in
management of the forum I took over admin of the osg-users googlegroups
mirror and enable it's use as a forum, though as the forum came backonline
I didn't announce it:

 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/osg-users

So perhaps it's time to just default to the googlegroup.

Just how many PrimitiveSet are you using?  It has to be pretty extreme to
cause performance issues when creating the scene.

My guess is that this slow down in creating the model is could be thought
of as a canary in the coal mine. OpenGL and modern hardware really don't
like being passed primitive data in small chunks, it's a huge performance
bottleneck having large number of small bottlenecks.

You will for sure get better performance when creating and rendering your
scene once you starting using a small number of primitive sets with a large
number of primitives.
