<u>Plans for future developments</u></h2>
|
|
Now we have reached the beta phase (0.9.x) of OpenScenegGraph project,
|
|
and are now working towards the full 1.0 release, with a likely release
|
|
date in second half of 2004.
|
|
<h3>Future work include:</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
StateSet composite structure for managing multi-pass effects and
|
|
alternate rendering implemations. This will allow one to manage the use
|
|
of extensions and provide effecient fallback rendering paths.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Clean up the API for managing multi-stage and multi-pass rendering
|
|
within
|
|
the scene graph.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Support for clustering in Open Producer and osgProducer.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Enhance osgDB and plugins to allow them to be used with alternate input
|
|
streams. Add support for native binary file format for rapid loading
|
|
and saving of scene graphs.</li>
|
|
<li>Introduce a new library osgEnvironment, which adds support for
|
|
creating
|
|
shapes and environmental effects such as stars, planets, cloud layers,
|
|
oceans and
|
|
ground planes.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Integrate unit tests for all classes, using the osgUtx Unit Test
|
|
Framework.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
Books, tutorials and demonstrations</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|

|
|
<li>
|
|
Development of tutorials to published as part of the distribution and
|
|
on
|
|
