[osg-users] Adding nodes to the scene while theviewer is running

[Gordon Tomlinson]

Yes you can add new objects to your application whiles its running all you
need is a pointer to your scene graphs and use addChild on that node 

The man caveat is that you cannot do this in the cull or draw so you have to
add your objects before the CULL and draw are dispatched.

Also make sure your loading your model in the same thread as the app/update
thread

Robert,
If it is possible to add objects while running, what is the purpose of the
realize function? I thought it initialize not only the camera. Is it
possible to add ANY object while running or there are some limitations to
this?

Thanks,
 Guy.

Thank you! A small typo in my code resulted in that my geodes didn't get

any children. No wonder they weren't visible...
