[osg-users] Can a FrameBufferObject be shared by multiple cameras?

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Glenn,

If there is a way to share FBO's between osg::Camera I don't know of
it off the top of my head.  You'd need to look at the
src/osgUtil/RenderStage.cpp so see how it sets up the FBO's.  It's
able to ruse it's own FBO on subsequent frames so there may be a way
for forcing it to use an existing FBO.
