[osg-users] replace tile with my own Node in VPB generated QuadTree

[Trajce Nikolov NICK]

Thanks Sebastion, Robert,

I did indeed dump the part of the scene into osgt and here is the hierarchy
(GeometryTechnique used):
PagedLOD->Group->TerrainTile (4x these)->MatrixTransform->Geode

After some experiments I am successful now in injecting my own node (simply
replaced the Geode with my own Geometry). I am after replacing the
TerrainTile with Group or MatrixTransform. Havn't looked into TerrainTile
but probably this contains some transformation (which one, the local to
ECEF??) since simply replacing it by Group is not working

Also, In my replacement of the original VPB Geode, I am using Geometry
where I am generating normals with osgUtil::SmoothingVisitor, and these are
wrong in the final output as well. Any clue?

Thanks a bunch for so far

Nick
