[osg-users] Hardware skinning computeBound() calculation

[Julien Valentin]

Hi Steve,

I hope it's the last time i explain that:

-Do you know how hardware skinning work?
If it's the case you know that transformation are managed through vertex shader, so you can't expect osg to keep track of correctly transformed bounds

-Have you look at RigGeometry constuctor?
in osganimation default policy is to exand by 2 untransformed bounds, but it can be userdefined with setInitialBound

If your bug persists, give us the model to reproduce.

Cheers
