[osg-users] Layered rendering with a geometry shader

[Wojciech Lewandowski]

Hi Chris,

This is the idea I wanted to try myself some day but the day for this never
came. I probably would attempt the method described here
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25058627/is-it-possible-to-render-an-object-from-multiple-views-in-a-single-pass
(see
answer with 4 likes).

Cheers,
Wojtek Lewandowski
