[osg-users] Issue with Model Display in OSG with VR Juggler

[Galen Faidley]

Gerrick,

Thanks for the tip.  I searched for osg and "normalizing normals" and
came up with:

posAttitudeTrans->getOrCreateStateSet()->setMode(GL_NORMALIZE,
osg::StateAttribute::ON);

We gave it a try and sure enough it worked.

Regards
Galen
