[osg-users] Texture units and TexGen

[Bradford, Chase]

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the info.  I hadn't tried the RenderStage approach because I
thought it was specific to culling over CameraNodes.

Is there a significant performance hit when multiple render stages are
used?  I'm assuming they aren't cheap.
