1) Full DOS paths are now correctly opened by OpenVRML. A URL containing
a DOS path should be "file:///C:data/blah" rather than "file://C:data/blah".
2) The last primitive defined in "coordIndex" is now added if the
"coordIndex" is not terminated by -1.
3) Smoothed normals are computed if no normal field is provided.
Currently, there is no support for "creaseAngle", so all edges (even the
ones sharper than the creaseAngle) are smoothed. I might add this in the
future if demand rises.
4) If an IndexedFaceSet contains only triangles or quads then the
primitive type is set to TRIANGLES or QUADS, and the primset becomes
DrawArrays rather than DrawArrayLengths.
Question: I noticed that for DrawArrays you can still provide an index
array. Would the rendering be faster if I'd create DrawElements primsets
rather than DrawArrays? Phrased differently, what is the benefit of
using DrawElements over DrawArrays, as there is clearly not a one-to-one
mapping of these concepts to their OpenGL counterparts?
5) Objects are added to the transparent bin and blend mode is enabled
only if the transparency is nonzero. Rendered transparent objects no
longer write the depth buffer."
other GUI toolkit examples. It now takes a model file as command-line
argument (complaining if there isn't one), and its startup window size
is now actually applied (it used to be too small). I tested this with a
unicode-build of wxWidgets, as that is the recommended build type on
Linux with GTK. I'm pretty sure this version of the example will work
for the ANSI build as well, but I have no way of testing."
"texture" paths. This is to drop absolute paths that some
3d editors export (even AC3D itself!). But this also strips
directories of relative paths, which is wrong and contradicts
the ac3d reference implementation. (The reference implementation
doesn't strip anything, though, and so takes the absolute paths
as they are. Definitely not what we want.)
The attached solution checks absolute paths and only strips
those:
(1) A:\\foo\\bar.png -> bar.png (as before)
(2) /foo/bar.png -> bar.png (as before)
(3) foo/bar.png -> foo/bar.png (new)
(4) ../foo/bar.png -> ../foo/bar.png (new)

The files are:
include/osgSim/ObjectRecordData -- The new class. Derives from Object to support .osg IO.
src/osgPlugins/OpenFlight/PrimaryRecords.cpp -- Reads data into that class.
src/osgPlugins/osgSim/IO_ObjectRecordData.cpp -- .osg IO support."
From Robert Osfield, made the OpenFlight read object record data optional via the -O readObjectRecordData ReaderWriter option.
osgViewer::StatsHandler and other handlers which allow you to change the
key(s) you would press to get them to do something. Pretty simple change
but useful in our context and possibly in others too."
The problem can be reproduced by simply changing the osgpick example to
use a CompositeViewer with a single view initialized using
setUpViewAcrossAllScreens(). I have attached a modified osgpick.cpp so
you can test it out quickly (please don't check this file in though :-)
) The eventState is then incorrect and picking does not work. The only
changes are in CompositeViewer.cpp (eventTraversal() method), and fix
the problem for me.

The win32 pbuffer implementation returned an error unless both the
WGL_ARB_pbuffer and the WGL_ARB_render_texture functions were present.
This was too restrictive, as a pbuffer can usefully be created without
render-to-texture, e.g. for use with glReadPixels. The osg 1.2/Producer
pbuffers worked without RTT, and osgUtil::RenderStage has all the code to
handle both RTT and non-RTT pbuffers, doing a read and copy in the
latter case.
With these changes I have successfully tested the osgprerender example
on a graphics card which supports RTT, and one which doesn't. Plus
tested in my own application.
In order to aid diagnostics I have also added more function status
return checks, and associated error messages. I have included the win32
error text in all error messages output. And there were some errors
with multi-threaded handling of "bind to texture" and a temporary window
context which I have corrected.
These is one (pre-existing) problem with multi-threaded use of pbuffers
in osgViewer & osgprerender, which I have not been able to fix. A win32
device context (HDC) can only be destroyed from the thread that created
it. The pbuffers for pre-render cameras are created in
osgUtil::RenderStage::runCameraSetUp, from the draw thread. But
closeImplementation is normally invoked from the destructor in the main
application thread. With the additional error messages I have added,
osgprerender will now output a couple of warnings from
osgViewer::PixelBufferWin32::closeImplementation() at exit, after
running multi-threaded on windows. I think that is a good thing, to
highlight the problem. I looked into fixing it in osgViewer::Renderer &
osgUtil::RenderStage, but it was too involved for me. My own
application requirements are only single-threaded.
Unrelated fix - an uninitialised variable in
osg::GraphicsThread::FlushDeletedGLObjectsOperation().

I made DebugingHUD functional by adding special draw callback. Former version was simply drawing pale square.

I was tempted to make 4 th change but decided to not do it. Instead I put it whith #if VIEW_DEPNDENT_TEXGEN. If you decide you may let it go.
When objects are not centered at 0,0,0 coord but in some distant location (for example at surface of earth ellipsoid) shadow texgen suffers from inadequate precision of float matrices. I changed that by premultiplying Texgen matrix (using OSG double matrices) with inverse modelview and applying it later with ModelView identity matrix. This tweak may be appropriate for OverlayNode texgen as well.
I left former version because I suspect that this change will make osgShadow::ShadowMap view dependant. Currently texgen matrix remains the same no matter what View displays it. With my change it wuld be different for each view. This touches the subject of View Dependent Shadow Techniques that J-S asked recently."
there is a bug. The header file do specify something
like this:
FrameBufferAttachment(Texture3D* target, int zoffset,
int level = 0);
However in the .cpp file we have:
FrameBufferAttachment::FrameBufferAttachment(Texture3D*
target, int level, int zoffset)
Which means that the meaning of level and zoffset is
interchanged.
The file with the corrected line is attached. Should
go into src/osg/
