short oit. This rendering technique is also known as depth peeling.
Attached is the example that makes depth peeling work with the fixed function
pipeline. Ok, this is 'old fashioned' but required for our use case that
still has to work on older UNIX OpenGL implementations as well as together
with a whole existing application making use of the fixed function pipeline.
I can imagine to add support for shaders when we have that shader composition
framework where we can add a second depth test in a generic way.
This does *not* implement the dual depth peeling described in a paper from the
ETH Zurich.
This example could serve as a test case for the feature that you can on the
fly remove pre render cameras that you made work a few time ago.
It is also a test case for the new TraversalOrderBin that is used to composite
the depth layers in the correct blend order.
This example also stresses your new texture object cache since you can change
some parameters for the oit implementation at runtime.
You can just load any model with osgoit and see how it works.
Use the usual help key to see what you can change.
There is already an osgdepthpeeling example that I could not really make sense
of up to now. So I just made something new without touching what I do not
understand."
creation of main shader to ShaderComposer and
collection of ShaderComponent to osg::State.
Also added very basic shader set up in osgshadecomposition example.
to get QWidgetImage to a point where it can fill a need we have: to be
able to use Qt to make HUDs and to display widgets over / inside an OSG
scene.
---------------
Current results
---------------
I've attached what I have at this point. The modified QWidgetImage +
QGraphicsViewAdapter classes can be rendered fullscreen (i.e. the Qt
QGraphicsView's size follows the size of the OSG window) or on a quad in
the scene as before. It will let events go through to OSG if no widget
is under the mouse when they happen (useful when used as a HUD with
transparent parts - a click-focus scheme could be added later too). It
also supercedes Martin Scheffler's submission because it adds a
getter/setter for the QGraphicsViewAdapter's background color (and the
user can set their widget to be transparent using
widget->setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground) themselves).
The included osgQtBrowser example has been modified to serve as a test
bed for these changes. It has lots more command line arguments than
before, some of which can be removed eventually (once things are
tested). Note that it may be interesting to change its name or split it
into two examples. Though if things go well, the specific QWebViewImage
class can be removed completely and we can consolidate to using
QWidgetImage everywhere, and then a single example to demonstrate it
would make more sense, albeit not named osgQtBrowser... You can try this
path by using the --useWidgetImage --useBrowser command line arguments -
this results in an equivalent setup to QWebViewImage, but using
QWidgetImage, and doesn't work completely yet for some unknown reason,
see below.
----------------
Remaining issues
----------------
There are a few issues left to fix, and for these I request the
community's assistance. They are not blockers for me, and with my
limited Qt experience I don't feel like I'm getting any closer to fixing
them, so if someone else could pitch in and see what they can find, it
would be appreciated. It would be really nice to get them fixed, that
way we'd really have a first-class integration of Qt widgets in an OSG
scene. The issues are noted in the osgQtBrowser.cpp source file, but
here they are too:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
QWidgetImage still has some issues, some examples are:
1. Editing in the QTextEdit doesn't work. Also when started with
--useBrowser, editing in the search field on YouTube doesn't
work. But that same search field when using QWebViewImage
works... And editing in the text field in the pop-up getInteger
dialog works too. All these cases use QGraphicsViewAdapter
under the hood, so why do some work and others don't?
a) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage [--fullscreen] (optional)
b) Try to click in the QTextEdit and type, or to select text
and drag-and-drop it somewhere else in the QTextEdit. These
don't work.
c) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --sanityCheck
d) Try the operations in b), they all work.
e) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --useBrowser [--fullscreen]
f) Try to click in the search field and type, it doesn't work.
g) osgQtBrowser
h) Try the operation in f), it works.
2. Operations on floating windows (--numFloatingWindows 1 or more).
Moving by dragging the titlebar, clicking the close button,
resizing them, none of these work. I wonder if it's because the
OS manages those functions (they're functions of the window
decorations) so we need to do something special for that? But
in --sanityCheck mode they work.
a) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --numFloatingWindows 1
[--fullscreen]
b) Try to drag the floating window, click the close button, or
drag its sides to resize it. None of these work.
c) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --numFloatingWindows 1
--sanityCheck
d) Try the operations in b), all they work.
e) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage [--fullscreen]
f) Click the button so that the getInteger() dialog is
displayed, then try to move that dialog or close it with the
close button, these don't work.
g) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --sanityCheck
h) Try the operation in f), it works.
3. (Minor) The QGraphicsView's scrollbars don't appear when
using QWidgetImage or QWebViewImage. QGraphicsView is a
QAbstractScrollArea and it should display scrollbars as soon as
the scene is too large to fit the view.
a) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --fullscreen
b) Resize the OSG window so it's smaller than the QTextEdit.
Scrollbars should appear but don't.
c) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --sanityCheck
d) Try the operation in b), scrollbars appear. Even if you have
floating windows (by clicking the button or by adding
--numFloatingWindows 1) and move them outside the view,
scrollbars appear too. You can't test that case in OSG for
now because of problem 2 above, but that's pretty cool.
4. (Minor) In sanity check mode, the widget added to the
QGraphicsView is centered. With QGraphicsViewAdapter, it is not.
a) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage [--fullscreen]
b) The QTextEdit and button are not in the center of the image
generated by the QGraphicsViewAdapter.
c) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --sanityCheck
d) The QTextEdit and button are in the center of the
QGraphicsView.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see I've put specific repro steps there too, so it's clear
what I mean by a given problem. The --sanityCheck mode is useful to see
what should happen in a "normal" Qt app that demonstrates the same
situation, so hopefully we can get to a point where it behaves the same
with --sanityCheck and without."
graphics context and link it with a slave camera. I don't know the
reason we perform like that, which will cause a problem that the
GUIEventHandler may not obtain correct window coordinates because the
main camera will use a default input range to receive events from the
slave camera's graphics context. It is also weird to see the
addSlave() used in non-cluster applications, which beginners will be
confused with.
I've make a slightly modification to the osgviewerMFC example to make
it work without setting slave cameras. I've tested with the MDI
framework and everything seems fine."
bool observer_ptr<>::lock(ref_ptr<T>&) to avoid the temporary ref_ptr<>'s
being created and destroyed on the stack along with the associated ref/unref() operations
The new example, named osgviewerQtContext (because of deriving from GraphicsContext), works fine on Windows XP SP3 and Qt 4.5.0, with 4 widgets in QGridLayout and a popup window and 60Hz frame rate. I haven't tested it on Unix/Linux and Mac OSX yet. So any feedback from these platforms is appreciated. I wish this example be a useful complement to current osgviewerQt and osgviewerQtWidgets ones. :)
Some unfinished functionalities: inheritedWindowData, sharedContext, and more tests needed."
few headers and the osgAnimation sources are also modified to make
everything goes well, including:
A new REGISTER_OBJECT_WRAPPER2 macro to wrap classes like
Skeleton::UpdateSkeleton.
A bug fix in the Seralizer header which avoids setting default values
to objects.
Naming style fixes in osgAnimation headers and sources, also in the
deprecated dotosg wrappers.
A bug fix for the XML support, to write char values correctly.
A small change in the osg::Geometry wrapper to ignore the
InternalGeometry property, which is used by the MorphGeometry and
should not be set by user applications.
The avatar.osg, nathan.osg and robot.osg data files all work fine with
serializers, with some 'unsupported wrapper' warnings when converting.
I'm thinking of removing these warnings by disabling related property
serializers (ComputeBoundingBoxCallback and Drawable::UpdateCallback),
which are seldom recorded by users.
By the way, I still wonder how would we handle the C4121 problem,
discussed some days before. The /Zp compile option is set to 16 in the
attached cmake script file. And is there a better solution now?"
- OsgMacroUtils.cmake, SETUP_LINK_LIBRARIES macro : allow linking with debug/release external libraries

It solves the problem on XP and Win7 on Qt 4.5 and 4.62
It isn't necessary on Linux (ubuntu 8.10/9.04 Qt 4.5/4.6.2) but doesn't cause any harm.
But I have #ifdef'ed it with WIN32. I can't test it on 64bit windows (not sure if x64 defines WIN32?)"
Bone now inherit from MatrixTransform. It simplify a lot the update of
Bone matrix. It helps to have the bone system more generic. eg it's now
possible to have animation data with precomputed bind matrix. The other
benefit, is now the collada plugin will be able to use osgAnimation to
display skinned mesh. Michael Plating did a great work to improve this
aspect, he is working on the collada plugin and should be able to submit
a new version soon.
The RigGeometry has been refactored so now it works when you save and
reload RigGeometry because the source is not touched anymore. The
benefit with this update is that it should be now possible to use a
MorphGeometry as source for a RigGeometry.
The bad news is that the format has changed, so i have rebuild osg-data
related to osgAnimation data, updated the blender exporter to export to
the new format.
The fbx plugin could be touched about this commit, i dont compile it so
i can't give more information about it.
The bvh plugin has been updated by Wang rui so this one is fixed with
the new code of osgAnimation.
The examples has been updated to work with the new code too...
The example osg-data/example.osg should be remove, it's an old example
that does not work.
For people using blender the blender exporter up to date is here:
http://hg.plopbyte.net/osgexport2/
it will be merge to http://hg.plopbyte.net/osgexport/ as soon as the
modification will be push in the trunk.

Currently osg2cpp removes "\n" line endings to replace them with a textual equivalent ("\\n") in order for the string representing the shader to contain line endings in the string. But if the file that was read contained Windows line endings ("\r\n"), the resulting file looked really weird (the \r were left there and editors interpreted that as an additional newline). Also, I can imagine that if the shader file that was read had Mac line endings ("\r") then the output shader would all end up in one long line since there are no "\n"...
What I've done:
I've added a search and replace of "\r\n" to "\n", and then "\r" to "\n" (note that the order is important).
I've also changed the filename handling so that the output file will be put in the same directory as the input file in case it was specified with a path. Previous functionality is retained for files specified with the filename only.""
osgcamera -r 5 --vbo cow.osg
Which repeats construction of the viewer 5 times in a row, and enables VBO, and on each repeat a new model is loaded.
osgcamera -r 2 --vbo --shared cow.osg
Which repeats construction of the viewer 2 times in a row, and enables VBO, and on each loads the model once and shares it between each instance of the viewer.
The texture in data/Images should be copied to osg-data. I created the texture myself with the help of an explosion generator, so no license issues there.

Most notable the __hpux define stuff. The __hpux__ variant seems to be not

Selection is now just a typedef of osg::MatrixTransform, and is deprecated
CommandManager is shell class that just sets values directly on Dragger, and is deprecated
Dragger now has list of DraggerCallback that takes over the roll of tracking changes to the Dragger, and
allows users to track the dragger in any way they wish.
Dragger now has a convinience method making MatrixTransforms track a dragger.
Selection and CommandManager are no longer required for use of osgManipulator and are kept around for backwards compatibility.
I believe this is now fixed ... I have attached the new DistanceAccumulator.cpp, along with a modified example file that uses a PositionAttitudeTransform to draw the Earth's orbit around the Sun."
Very simple cases of state configuration are supported (all the ones I really need):

- exp2 fog ON/OFF
- diffuse texture in rgb + optional specular gloss in alpha (Texture unit 0) ON/OFF
- normal map texture (Texture unit 1 and Tangent in VertexAttribArray 6) ON/OFF
- blending and alpha testing (not in shader pipeline)

LD_LIBRARY_PATH so the XUL libs would be found) I noticed that although
the gecko plugin was found it could not be loaded. But this did not
trigger any visible warning/error message (at least not without INFO
notify level). Would you mind if we change the notify level for a
dlerror() to WARNING? This will also make it more explicit for the case
when a plugin isn't actually found, which seems to come up a lot for
novice users (e.g. no freetype on win32, so no freetype plugin, etc).
Also, the current error message is misleading ("Warning: Could not FIND
plugin to ...") because the it's not always a case of not finding the
plugin. I slightly enhanced the situation of not finding a plugin versus
finding it but not being able to load it.
Here's also a few fixes to some of the examples:
- osgfont: make usage help line more in line with the actual behaviour
- osgcompositeviewer: complain when no model file was provided
- osgmovie: don't include quicktime-dependent feature on Linux
- osgocclussionquery: comment addition (as I was surprised that lines
were being drawn in a function called createRandomTriangles())"
the workaround we discussed for adding/removing views in a composite
viewer at runtime. A dummy view is added to the viewer to always keep
it live.
Also, I added a #define to the Qt event relay methods to not override
them on a Windows system. This fixes the bug where duplicate events
are being sent and making it impossible to throw the trackball."
- The text and dark background rectangles are now correctly placed, and
slightly resized here and there.
- All counters (vertices, etc) now use a fixed formatting with 0 digits
precision, to prevent the text from being shown in scientific notation
when the number get large (e.g. 6.34344e+6). I tested with a scene
containing roughly 4 million vertices, to make sure its stats would
display correctly.
I also made slight changes to osgcompositeviewer (attached) to aid in
testing the stats display, specifically displaying of camera and view
names."
