Robert,
Thanks for the quick response. I'm definitely not attaching any
manipulators to the viewer, so I don't think that's the problem; just to be
sure, I set the manipulator to NULL, and it's still rendering one frame
behind.
How would double buffering work with an attached osg::Image? Do I need to
attach two images to separate buffers? Right now I have one set to the
depth buffer and one to the color buffer, and I expect that after calling
renderingTraversal() the rendered scene is available in the image. Is there
something wrong with that logic?
Thanks again,
- David
