Has anyone implemented a picking solution that uses OSG's selection algorithm -without- utilizing viewer? I use sdl to handle window management and input, and bullet for physics (which could be fine for selecting objects in-scene later, but this it would be quite a hack to use bullet for gui

Hello, How might I enable parent/child culling, such that the world geometry of a primary (parent) object determines which small objects (children) are culled out of the scene? For example, there may be hundereds or thousands of small objects in my scene, that wouldn't occlude much of anything.

The proper way to go about this would be using an alternate shader for the infrared view. That way you can pull in any source texture (one that is already mapped on an object), and generate the infrared composite image on the fly. For example, if you want all of the walls (and other cold

The integration of PAL with OSG would in my opinion, be a waste of resources. PAL isn't maintained well, and doesn't support all of the features of the engines that it contains. In addition, documentation is -really- scarce for it. I do agree with Robert though, that any additions made to OSG
