Re: [osg-users] Thoughts on Vulkan

2015-04-13 Thread Chris Hanson
Personally, my thought on Vulkan is that it present an opportunity to solve a number of long-standing problems that history has shown OpenGL now has as a result of graphics software and hardware evolving. OpenGL was intended as standardized moderately high-level abstraction layer. Today, applicati

Greetings! Neil Trevett has made it clear that OpenGL is in its prime and not going away, so I'm not rushing to buy my Vulkan red book just yet - like there is any! I see Vulkan as something that is geared to a gaming engines for the short term! Over time, who knows! Valve, Unity and Epic are

2015-04-13 Thread Dave Sargrad
Can't figure this one out. It looks like it should work. Based on reading the cookbook documentation the only other thing that jumps to mind is something to do with the setNodeMask()/setTraversalMask() functions. But I dont set these masks anywhere, so I'd think the intersection visitor would

2015-04-13 Thread Dave Sargrad
Hi, I've been working through the osgRecipes cookbooks. I suddenly realized as I was working with cookbook_03_07 that the picking logic did not seem to be working. Indeed I have not been able to pick any of the objects displayed in the cookbooks I've been looking at so far (I'm working the cook

Re: [osg-users] StatsHandler rendering issue

2015-04-13 Thread Robert Osfield
Hi Sverre, The osgText::Text used by the StatsHandler was just written for the fixed function pipeline so wasn't supported by the GL3/4 core profile or GLES2/3. I recall a submission last month, but don't recall the details off the top of my head. I'm not in a position right now to be able to ch

[osg-users] StatsHandler rendering issue

2015-04-13 Thread Sverre Aleksandersen
Hello. I’m having some issues using StatsHandler with newer GL contexts. Initially, I compiled OSG 3.3.3 with GL 2/3 support and used setUseModelViewAndProjectionUniforms(true) and setUseVertexAttributeAliasing(true) in order to use modern GL features. I’ve since then switched to OSG 3.3.4 with
