Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for the info. So far I do not encounter a lot of problems (other than, well, lack of documentation, as some functions do not have explanations in the exported doyxgen format). My application right now has just some basic features : loading objects, rendering using shader (I disabled the fixed pipeline in cmake), selecting/unselecting objects (selected objects are hihglighted with wireframe), transformation, undo/redo. If I am not wrong, there was something related to Draggers that was deprecated, so I had to searched a bit to find the working functions to use.

I started November last year with those two books. Then I pulled and compiled the "master" branch (Yeah, I should not have done that) Recently I just switched to the more stable version, the one with "OpenSceneGraph-3.5.6" tag.

Thanks :D
