[osg-users] Normal bindind

[Christian Buchner]

Wouldn't that imply that neighbor triangles cannot share their vertices
because the normal is different for each primitive? For high resolution
meshes this could create quite some overhead (memory and processing wise).
Is there a more efficient way to get flat shading that would not require
any vertex duplication?
