Plans for future developments

Fturue work include:

• Multi-pass fallback for when multi-texturing is not supported.
• Clean up the API for managing multi-stage and multi-pass rendering within the scene graph.
• Open Producer - cross platform library for transparently managing mulitpipe and cluster graphics systems. Similar in concept to OpenGL multipipe SDK, except cross platform and with support of graphics clusters.
• osgSim - cross platform library for the visual simulation market with support for light points, small target anti-aliasing, geometry correction and clip mapping.
• Replace osgGLUT with Open Producer for the demos. Open Producer is a much cleaner and more scalable windowing API. Move osgGLUT out of the distribution and into the bazaar.
• Introduce a new library osgEnv/osgShapes, which adds support for creating shapes and environmental effects such as stars, planets, cloud layers and ground planes.
• Integrate unit tests for all classes, using the osgUtx Unit Test Framework.

Books, tutorials and demonstrations

• Don Burns and Robert Osfield to write the OpenSceneGraph book!
• Development of tutorials to published as part of the distribution and on the bazaar
• Development of technology demonstrations for shows, presentations and training.

Professional services

• Set up a support contract and support systems for confidential, email, phone and onsite support.
• Set up the Open Scene Graph Professional License (OSGPL) which is conventional proprietary license that allows companies to distribute projects that do not comply with the terms of the LGPL, such as turn key systems.
• Develop training courses.
