[osg-users] PrecipitationEffect not updating

[Murray Curtis]

I'm having trouble getting osgParticle::PrecipitationEffect to update. I 
get particles that just sit stationary in mid air but they do die (fade 
off) after a few seconds.

I added an update callback to the precipitation node and can confirm its 
getting a valid (updating) framestamp.

I'm using a composite viewer with two views in a shared graphics 
context. I don't use the viewers run() method but I do run an update 
traversal ( _primaryRoot.get()->accept(updateVisitor);) as confirmed by 
the callback above.

Is there another part of the update I'm missing?

A trivial test program:

     precipitationEffect = new osgParticle::PrecipitationEffect;
     group->addChild(precipitationEffect.get());
     viewer.run();

works perfectly.

I'm using OSG 2.5.4 on Linux.

Any pointers much appreciated.

its raining for real outside...)
