Thanks Paul, Jeremy, So after some contemplation I am pretty sure I want to use the painter's layering. The reason is that if for example I want to rotate a panel in front of another one I don't want it to intersect with panals behind it. I could use orthographic projection and dynamically change the z distances based on bounding box but this just seems overkill if I could just disable depth testing. I just want it 2.5D--looking 3D but layering 2D.
So I tried forcing the osgText in a the opaque render bin with the following but without much luck. mytextstateset->setRenderBinDetails(0, "RenderBin", osg::StateSet::OVERRIDE_RENDERBIN_DETAILS); Is there something else I need to do other than that? If I understand correctly there are two default bins--"RenderBin" and "DepthSortedBin". Former is sorted based on the binNum, latter based on the depth. I guess what I don't understand is how does the binNum realate to the other items in the default bin. I know they are rendered in the order they are added to the scene. How to they relate to the binNum? Still a bit confused. Will read some more of the osg source code but let me know if you guy know what I am doing wrong. Thank you!
