[osg-users] Tiny normals: osgviewer vs osgcompositeviewer

[Per Nordqvist]

Hi there, thanks for your quick input.

@Robert; The use case is pretty common: the original model assumes mm, I
assume meters. Hence the extreme scaling.
Yes I noticed the transforms are flattened, which is probably a good thing
in my case but it shouldn't
change the rendering. (The model is exported by a 3rd party software so I
don't have full control)

@Sebastian: Yes you are probably right, I thought that some normals were
completely lost though due to
the scaling (rescaling = division by 0) but maybe I was lucky this time.

Thanks again,
Per
