[osg-users] different materials for a geometry and highlight

Hi Gianni,

So basically you are raping the primitive sets to color the primitive?
That is certainly a complicated way in case you simply have a bunch of 
triangles which you want to re-color during selection. I'd advice to use 
an additional vertex-attribute (per vertex) holding your "color-index" 
and evaluate it in the vertex-shader and modify this based on the 
intersected indices.

just my 2 cents
Cheers
Sebastian
