Thanks Ulrich and Dimi
I supposed that it has s.th to do with the missing material paramters; my idea was to change the original material of the node, therefore I set: osg::StateSet *ss = loadedModel ->getOrCreateStateSet(); osg::Material* blendMaterial = (osg::Material*)(ss->getAttribute(osg::StateAttribute::MATERIAL)); but the material is always NULL so I don't have the original material Is this the wrong function call ?

You're creating a new Material that overrides the material of the node you're fading. However, you're not setting the Material properties (ambient, diffuse, specular, emissive, shininess) and the default values for Material are unlikely to match that of the node you're trying to blend. Hence when you override the original material it will switch from the original settings to the default Material. For an experiment, have a look at any .osg file and look at the material properties. Then set those values on the 'blendMaterial' node you're creating and it should look smooth. You're probably better off modifying the original Material(s) of the node hierarchy. Or try another approach, like using blendcolor.
