[osg-users] Culling with custom clip planes

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Jannik,

You could add culling planes to the frustum during the cull traversal (see
osg::CullingStack/osg::CullingSet or osgUtil::CullVisitor), or use the
osg::ConvexPlanarOccluder support.

Going the cull traversal route will be doing something I haven't done
before but in principle you should be able write a cull cullback that gets
the current Frustum and adds the planes you want to test against.  You'd
need to restore the original Frustum planes after the traversal of the
subgraph below where you've attached the cull back.

Robert.
