Deferred rendering is now the de-facto standard rendering technique in many modern game engines, hence I think it is important to have this technique demonstrated in an osg code example.
This particular sample adds soft shadows as well as bump mapping into the rendering pipeline. The image files whitemetal_diffuse.jpg and whitemetal_normal.jpg from OpenSceneGraph-Data images folder are required (The OSG_FILE_PATH environment variable must be set correctly)
Two additional osgt models are included with the demo (best to also put them into OpenSceneGraph-Data, I think.
The shaders are currently defined in separate .frag and .vert files.
implementations being registered at the same time.
One usage case for this functionality to support usage of Wayland and X11 in the same version of the osgViewer.
As part of the new functionality there is now a osg::GraphicsContext::Traits::windowingSystemPreferrence string
that default to empty, but if defined will ensure that a specific WindowingSystemInterface is utilized when
you do a generic call like osg::createGraphicsContext().
Also implemented is standard proxy object for registering the new contexts and removing them automatically, and
declaration of standard graphicswindow_name() C entry point to help with static build linking.
"From I think that this piece of code in StateSet::setTextureAttributeAndModes is a copy&paste mistake:

OSG_NOTICE<<" assuming setAttributeAndModes(attr,value) instead."<<std::endl;

Font::getKerning(...), Font::getGlyph3D(...) doesn't ask for a font resolution so it uses the last font resolution requested by Font:: getGlyph(...).
This can leads to different results depending of the precedent call to Font::getGlyph(...).
See http://lists.openscenegraph.org/pipermail/osg-users-openscenegraph.org/2016-January/271952.html for more infos.
This fix adds a font resolution parameter to Font::getKerning(...), Font::getGlyph3D(...) and to the font implementations.
This was made under the base revision r15182."
forcing users to use osgDB::readRef*File() methods. The later is preferable as it closes a potential threading bug when using paging databases in conjunction
with the osgDB::Registry Object Cache. This threading bug occurs when one thread gets an object from the Cache via an osgDB::read*File() call where only
a pointer to the object is passed back, so taking a reference to the object is delayed till it gets reassigned to a ref_ptr<>, but at the same time another
thread calls a flush of the Object Cache deleting this object as it's referenceCount is now zero. Using osgDB::readREf*File() makes sure the a ref_ptr<> is
passed back and the referenceCount never goes to zero.
To ensure the OSG builds when OSG_PROVIDE_READFILE is to OFF the many cases of osgDB::read*File() usage had to be replaced with a ref_ptr<> osgDB::readRef*File()
usage. The avoid this change causing lots of other client code to be rewritten to handle the use of ref_ptr<> in place of C pointer I introduced a serious of
templte methods in various class to adapt ref_ptr<> to the underly C pointer to be passed to old OSG API's, example of this is found in include/osg/Group:
bool addChild(Node* child); // old method which can only be used with a Node*
tempalte<class T> bool addChild(const osg::ref_ptr<T>& child) { return addChild(child.get()); } // adapter template method
These changes together cover 149 modified files, so it's a large submission. This extent of changes are warrent to make use of the Object Cache
and multi-threaded loaded more robust.

This approach unifies much of the code handling the clean up of OpenGL graphics data, avoids lots of local mutexes and static variables that were previously required,

geometry is clipped as soon as it is tessellated. The clipping is
probably caused by rounding errors because it is only in one spot. The
clipping disappears when the camera is moved, and reappears when it is
moved back. Expanding the the bounding box fixed the clipping bug."
Tweaked by Robert Osfield to expand it to a -1 to 1 unit box.
Actual clipping bug is not due to rounding errors but the shaders creating vertices outside the bounding box of the original input vertices

Introduced a new shader composition example based on the new #pragama and #define based GLSL shader/osg::StateSet::setDefine() functionality now built into the core OSG.

algorithm consisting of two consequent phases :
- first phase is a GLSL shader performing object culling and LOD picking ( a culling shader ).
Every culled object is represented as GL_POINT in the input osg::Geometry.
The output of the culling shader is a set of object LODs that need to be rendered.
The output is stored in texture buffer objects. No pixel is drawn to the screen
because GL_RASTERIZER_DISCARD mode is used.
- second phase draws osg::Geometry containing merged LODs using glDrawArraysIndirect()
function. Information about quantity of instances to render, its positions and other
parameters is sourced from texture buffer objects filled in the first phase.
The example uses various OpenGL 4.2 features such as texture buffer objects,
atomic counters, image units and functions defined in GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store
extension to achieve its goal and thus will not work on graphic cards with older OpenGL
versions.
The example was tested on Linux and Windows with NVidia 570 and 580 cards.
The tests on AMD cards were not conducted ( due to lack of it ).
The tests were performed using OSG revision 14088.
The main advantages of this rendering method :
- instanced rendering capable of drawing thousands of different objects with
almost no CPU intervention ( cull and draw times are close to 0 ms ).
- input objects may be sourced from any OSG graph ( for example - information about
object points may be stored in a PagedLOD graph. This way we may cover the whole
countries with trees, buildings and other objects ).
Furthermore if we create osgDB plugins that generate data on the fly, we may
generate information for every grass blade for that country.
- every object may have its own parameters and thus may be distinct from other objects
of the same type.
- relatively low memory footprint ( single object information is stored in a few
vertex attributes ).
- no GPU->CPU roundtrip typical for such methods ( method uses atomic counters
and glDrawArraysIndirect() function instead of OpenGL queries. This way
information about quantity of rendered objects never goes back to CPU.
The typical GPU->CPU roundtrip cost is about 2 ms ).
- this example also shows how to render dynamic objects ( objects that may change
its position ) with moving parts ( like car wheels or airplane propellers ) .
The obvious extension to that dynamic method would be the animated crowd rendering.
- rendered objects may be easily replaced ( there is no need to process the whole
OSG graphs, because these graphs store only positional information ).
The main disadvantages of a method :
- the maximum quantity of objects to render must be known beforehand
( because texture buffer objects holding data between phases have constant size ).
- OSG statistics are flawed ( they don't know anymore how many objects are drawn ).
- osgUtil::Intersection does not work
Example application may be used to make some performance tests, so below you
will find some extended parameter description :
--skip-dynamic - skip rendering of dynamic objects if you only want to
observe static object statistics
--skip-static - the same for static objects
--dynamic-area-size - size of the area for dynamic rendering. Default = 1000 meters
( square 1000m x 1000m ). Along with density defines
how many dynamic objects is there in the example.
--static-area-size - the same for static objects. Default = 2000 meters
( square 2000m x 2000m ).
Example application defines some parameters (density, LOD ranges, object's triangle count).
You may manipulate its values using below described modifiers:
--density-modifier - density modifier in percent. Default = 100%.
Density ( along with LOD ranges ) defines maximum
quantity of rendered objects. registerType() function
accepts maximum density ( in objects per square kilometer )
as its parameter.
--lod-modifier - defines the LOD ranges. Default = 100%.
--triangle-modifier - defines the number of triangles in finally rendered objects.
Default = 100 %.
--instances-per-cell - for static rendering the application builds OSG graph using
InstanceCell class ( this class is a modified version of Cell class
from osgforest example - it builds simple quadtree from a list
of static instances ). This parameter defines maximum number
of instances in a single osg::Group in quadtree.
If, for example, you modify it to value=100, you will see
really big cull time in OSG statistics ( because resulting
tree generated by InstanceCell will be very deep ).
Default value = 4096 .
--export-objects - write object geometries and quadtree of instances to osgt files
for later analysis.
--use-multi-draw - use glMultiDrawArraysIndirect() instead of glDrawArraysIndirect() in a
draw shader. Thanks to this we may render all ( different ) objects
using only one draw call. Requires OpenGL version 4.3 and some more
work from me, because now it does not work ( probably I implemented
it wrong, or Windows NVidia driver has errors, because it hangs
the apllication at the moment ).
This application is inspired by Daniel Rákos work : "GPU based dynamic geometry LOD" that
may be found under this address : http://rastergrid.com/blog/2010/10/gpu-based-dynamic-geometry-lod/
There are however some differences :
- Daniel Rákos uses GL queries to count objects to render, while this example
uses atomic counters ( no GPU->CPU roundtrip )
- this example does not use transform feedback buffers to store intermediate data
( it uses texture buffer objects instead ).
- I use only the vertex shader to cull objects, whereas Daniel Rákos uses vertex shader
and geometry shader ( because only geometry shader can send more than one primitive
to transform feedback buffers ).
- objects in the example are drawn using glDrawArraysIndirect() function,
instead of glDrawElementsInstanced().
Finally there are some things to consider/discuss :
- the whole algorithm exploits nice OpenGL feature that any GL buffer
may be bound as any type of buffer ( in our example a buffer is once bound
as a texture buffer object, and later is bound as GL_DRAW_INDIRECT_BUFFER ).
osg::TextureBuffer class has one handy method to do that trick ( bindBufferAs() ),
and new primitive sets use osg::TextureBuffer as input.
For now I added new primitive sets to example ( DrawArraysIndirect and
MultiDrawArraysIndirect defined in examples/osggpucull/DrawIndirectPrimitiveSet.h ),
but if Robert will accept its current implementations ( I mean - primitive
sets that have osg::TextureBuffer in constructor ), I may add it to
osg/include/PrimitiveSet header.
- I used BufferTemplate class writen and published by Aurelien in submission forum
some time ago. For some reason this class never got into osg/include, but is
really needed during creation of UBOs, TBOs, and possibly SSBOs in the future.
I added std::vector specialization to that template class.
- I needed to create similar osg::Geometries with variable number of vertices
( to create different LODs in my example ). For this reason I've written
some code allowing me to create osg::Geometries from osg::Shape descendants.
This code may be found in ShapeToGeometry.* files. Examples of use are in
osggpucull.cpp . The question is : should this code stay in example, or should
it be moved to osgUtil ?
- this remark is important for NVidia cards on Linux and Windows : if
you have "Sync to VBlank" turned ON in nvidia-settings and you want to see
real GPU times in OSG statistics window, you must set the power management
settings to "Prefer maximum performance", because when "Adaptive mode" is used,
the graphic card's clock may be slowed down by the driver during program execution
( On Linux when OpenGL application starts in adaptive mode, clock should work
as fast as possible, but after one minute of program execution, the clock slows down ).
This happens when GPU time in OSG statistics window is shorter than 3 ms.

There was code in the osgViewer/Viewer.cpp and osgViewer/CompositeViewer.cpp that transformed the Y-coordinates of an event. The code in the composite viewer did however miss the touch-data of the event. I thought that it should really be the GUIEventAdapter that should know about this, and hence I added the
GUIEventAdapter::setMouseYOrientationAndUpdateCoords which is re-computing the coordinates. First I simply added a boolean to the setMouseYOrientation function:
setMouseYOrientation( MouseYOrientation, bool updatecooreds=false );
but then the serializer complained.
This function is called from both the Viewer and the CompositeViewer. We have not tested from the viewer, but I cannot see it would not work from visual inspection.
The other change is in MultiTouchTrackballManipulator::handleMultiTouchDrag. I have removed the normalisation. The reason for that is that it normalised into screen coordinates from 0,0 to 1,1. The problem with that is that if you have a pinch event and you keep the distance say 300 pixels between your fingers, these 300 pixels represent 0.20 of the screen in the horizontal domain, but 0.3 of the screen in the vertical domain. A rotation of the pinch-fingers will hence result in a zoom in, as the normalised distance is changing between them.
A consequence of this is that I have changed the pan-code to use the same algorithm as the middle-mouse-pan.
The rest of it is very similar from previous revision, and there has been some fine-tuning here and there.

To select standard OpenGL 1/2 build with full backwards and forwards comtability use:
./configure
make
OR
./configure -DOPENGL_PROFILE=GL2
To select OpenGL 3 core profile build using GL3/gl3.h header:
./configure -DOPENGL_PROFILE=GL3
To select OpenGL Arb core profile build using GL/glcorearb.h header:
./configure -DOPENGL_PROFILE=GLCORE
To select OpenGL ES 1.1 profile use:
./configure -DOPENGL_PROFILE=GLES1
To select OpenGL ES 2 profile use:
./configure -DOPENGL_PROFILE=GLES2
Using OPENGL_PROFILE will select all the appropriate features required so no other settings in cmake will need to be adjusted.
The new configuration options are stored in the include/osg/OpenGL header that deprecates the old include/osg/GL header.
Added the Cmake option OSG_USE_LOCAL_LUA_SOURCE to control whether to build and use the Lua source code in the lua plugin, or look for lua as an external dependency.
To the Lua plugin added support for assigned lua functions to C++ osg::Objects via the new osg::CallbackObject mechanism. To invoke the scripts function from C++ one must get the CallbackObject and call run on it.
Renamed ScriptCallback to ScriptNodeCallback to avoid possibly confusion between osg::CallbackObject and the ScriptNodeCallback.
From Robert Osfield, changed the example so that the vertical and horizon scalar bars are rotated to the XZ plane so you can see them with the default viewer's camera orientation.
Tweaked the positioning of title text of vertic scalar bar to avoid overlap of text.
I added a new tag to p3d called forward_touch_event_to_device and renamed the existing forward_event_to_device to forward_mouse_event_to_device. This new tag will transmit touches to the virtual trackpad as touch events. I added the MultitouchTrackball to the p3d-app so zooming and moving a model remotely should now work, if you use forward_touch_event_to_device. I kept (and fixed) forward_mouse_event_to_device for background compatibility, so old presentations works as in previous versions, without the ability to zoom + scale. of course.
forward_touch_event_to_device needs some more testing, (e.g. with image-streams and keystone, afaik there’s no support for touch-events...) but for a first version it works nice.

Provided are lua, python and V8 (for javascript) plugins that just open up enough of a link to the respective libs to run a script, there is no scene graph <-> script communication in current implementation.
This version adds:
- an encapsulation of the entire Depth Peeling procedure into a class (not currently a scene graph node) for easier integration in other projects.
- compositing with opaque (solid) geometry is possible and the opaque model is only rendered once. This needs to performs some depth buffer blitting between FBOs.
- mix and match with GLSL shaders in the transparent objects is possible, as demonstrated with a 3D heat map intersecting an opaque truck model.
Some Drawbacks:
- the display framebuffer does not receive any depth information from the compositing camera. This could be fixed by compositing with a GLSL shader and writing to FragDepth."
From Robert Osfield, ported the code to work under Linux and without the automatic ref_ptr to C* conversion.
