[osg-users] How do cameras handle the render target?

[Werner Modenbach]

Hi Sebastion,

thanks for the quick reply.
What do you mean by composing to the same FBO? As i wrote attaching the
FBO to the child cameras the same way as with the main camera just 
delivers a black fbImage.

Concerning the screen capture example:
I remember an easier version where a slave camera was created with a 
pbuffer context and then
an image attached like thgat:

osg::ref_ptr<osg::PixelBufferObject>pbo=newosg::PixelBufferObject(image.get()); 


image->setPixelBufferObject(pbo.get());

image->allocateImage(width,height,1,GL_RGBA,GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,1);

camera->attach(osg::Camera::COLOR_BUFFER,image.get());

pbuffer->realize();

This seams more convenient than fiddling with gl functions.
I still have that version but it also shows only the rendered model.
Is it possible that the rendering is just not completed after the 
viewer->frame() call?
Is it necessary having a finalDrawCallback instead?

Thanks again
