[osg-users] Hardware skinning computeBound() calculation

[Julien Valentin]

Hi Steve
You say to have a transform scaling x0.1
so you want that shrink your rig...
But you seams not to want the initial bound to be shrink as well
I don't understand what you're doing?

If you want to compute correctbound of a HWskinned rig from the CPU  the solution is to merge both SoftWare and HW RigTransform and do the transform on the CPU and GPU independantly.
It's what is done in osgCal but in osg we've choose not to duplicate job so you'll have to write a custom RigTransform for it.
Perhaps I'll do it my self one day but I've always found a way to circumvent the problem with initial bound

Cheers
