Hi guys, Thanks for the tips. In case anybody else reading this thread might find it useful, I found a nice subtle way of highlighting a selected model (see attached screen shot). Using the stateset decorating method from the scribe example and outlining code from the cartoon effect in osgfx, I draw thick line around the silhouette of the selected model. This nicely conveys the message that the model is selected without obscuring the geometry too much.
Thanks again, Morne On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 1:52 PM, Fuesz, Matthew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Color "overlays" are fairly simple.
