[osg-users] Tearing hair out over simple GLSL instancing

[Christian Buchner]

Does your vertex shader code perform any lighting calculations?

I remember that in my instancing vertex shader code I had to explicitly
perform required lighting calculations for ambient, diffuse, specular
components (the usual Blinn-Phong lighting equations) and set the vertex
colors accordingly.
