I haven't investigated MoltenVk yet, are there gotcha's involved in
supporting it?

Thanks, have the book and have done a bit of diving into Sascha's resources.

Excellent, I've added it to my list of resources.

While many of the osg Node abstractions could be replicated, at this
point I'm doing it clean room both conceptually and implementation
wise.  It's likely you'll see things in VulkanSceneGraph that will be
like old friends, but many other places I'll changes things
drastically, either that's what Vulkan requires or to improve
performance or flexibility a new approach is required.

Cheers,
Robert.
