[osg-users] [forum] add/remove nodes when rendering

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Sophie,

Are you simply looking to load databases in a background thread whilst the
main thread and rendering threads get on with update, culling and rendering
the scene?

The OSG has an database paging class call osgDB::DatabasePager that is
built into the osgViewer::Viewer/CompositeViewer that will automatically
load databases and merge them with the main scene graph during the update
traversal.  This is built around the osg::PagedLOD class, but you can also
use the osg::ProxyNode.

Robert.
