In max you can add "User Properties". Right-click on your object, go to properties, and click on "user defined" tab. These are accessible through maxscript or the SDK during the export process. Cheers E. --- Eric Maslowski Research Computer Specialist University of Michigan

This really isn't noticeable unless you have very fast objects, or very low frame rates (sub-20fps). As long as you intelligently choose your occluders and conduct some simple tests to identify the above, there shouldn't be any problems. E. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mai

RE: [osg-users] Sun occlusion

Another common use of the Occlusion Query extensions is to delay the results one frame. This follows the same parallelization used for cpu-limited apps, where you grab the results from the last frame and use them on the current. This method works quite well on its own and hardly noticeable to the e

Hi Michael, When I get these sort of errors, the first thing I is check my "lib" paths to make sure they are setup correctly. I would then make sure I have included the necessary ".lib" files using either a #pragma statement or through the project settings (linker->input->additional dependencies)
