Re: [osg-users] Changing scenes on the fly
I haven't done what you're wanting to do. I only support the case where I have multiple scenes that I add before I enter the rendering loop. I then switch to whatever one I want during the rendering. Obviously this is trivial. Rendering more than one at the same time with the effect you want is more problematic. Perhaps someone else could offer some input here. Whatever you attach before the rendering traversal will get rendered. I suppose you could load up all your osg files into nodes and then attach the nodes you want to render on the fly, per your suggestion, and see what happens. I don't know how you would fade between two scenes. Maybe use RTT with FBOs and do linear interpolation between them or employ some sort of a shader.?.?

Some wrinkles though - I need a dynamic system, and there may be multiples active at a time, for instance in between a cross-fade. But my main question still applies - should I load the .osg file and attach the whole graph downstream of the switch on the fly?

I'll have a static setup of multiple cameras, then need to change what scene is being viewed.
