I'm aware of that. I actually use both the email list and the forum interchangeably. I assumed most people did as well to see the full context of discussion. Apparently that is not the case. For individuals who mainly use the email list, I will try to be more explicit in referring back to the forum. In answer to your question...no, I'm not referring to another tutorial. This was the only one. I tried it out and it didn't work so well (so far). I simply asked why and I got answers. Nothing more, nothing less. > Right, correct.

Hmmm...you must have missed the email list response from Alistair Baxter on 4/3/13 @ 2:11am who was addressing my questions in behalf of Nathan Collins who is out of town. He apparently saw what I wrote and the context that it was written in.

Furthermore, their documentation for it is pretty much non-existent. Pretty hard to read documentation that is pretty much non-existent...even for a novice...;^) -Shayne ------------------ Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=53443#53443 _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
