After some serious digging and tweaking inside osgShadow::ShadowMap I
have come up with a partial workaround for this problem. The problem
seems to boil down to issues around the pushing and popping of
statsets containing instance of:
new osg::Uniform("osgShadow_shadowTexture",(int)_shadowTextureUnit);
ShadowMap uses a default value of 1 for _shadowTextureUnit
It seems that for geometries that have no texture assigned, I need to
set a value of 0 to _shadowTextureUnit, otherwise I get problems (as
least I do on my Radeon-X300)
So... my partial workaround is to setup my scene like:
osgShadow::ShadowMap* shadowMap = new osgShadow::ShadowMap();
shadowMap->setTextureUnit(0);
shadowedScene->setShadowTechnique(shadowMap);
For scenes that do not have textures, this is a perfect workround for
me, but for scenes containing textured AND untextured objects,
unfortunately the workround causes the textures to be lost.
I wonder if the PROPER solution to the problem requires some kind of
stateset override for nodes that is a function of whether the node has
textures?
Intersectingly the problem is a little bit bigger that I thought, as
untextured objects in shadowed scenes have strange artifacts on their
surfaces unless I setTextureUnit to zero (even the first time the
scene is assigned)
Is this info useful to anyone that actually knows what they are doing?
I'm begining to feel a bit out of my z-depth. ;-)
