In fact, CompositeViewer is usually needed whenever we have an *independent* entity (where object A may see a completely different part of the scene than object B, so that B may no longer get access to the PagedLOD nodes that A discarded already), but if the camera can be "slaved" to a parent object in the scene, that's probably what should be done? Looking at osgcompositor.cpp, it can combine both kinds of cameras at runtime.--[[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 09:53, 16 November 2020 (EST) | In fact, CompositeViewer is usually needed whenever we have an *independent* entity (where object A may see a completely different part of the scene than object B, so that B may no longer get access to the PagedLOD nodes that A discarded already), but if the camera can be "slaved" to a parent object in the scene, that's probably what should be done?

: Not sure whether this relevant, but Fernando said that Canvas uses scene-graph cameras, and it seemed that the use of scene-graph cameras caused some issues with canvas-view, but it would be quite a lot of work to change canvas to use slave cameras? --[[User:Cgdae|Cgdae]] ([[User talk:Cgdae|talk]]) 10:57, 16 November 2020 (EST) | : Not sure whether this relevant, but Fernando said that Canvas uses scene-graph cameras, and it seemed that the use of scene-graph cameras caused some issues with canvas-view, but it would be quite a lot of work to change canvas to use slave cameras? --[[User:Cgdae|Cgdae]] ([[User talk:Cgdae|talk]]) 10:57, 16 November 2020 (EST) | ||
:: scene graph cams basically means that canvas based scenes are rendered "redundantly", that's true regardless of Comp/CV. And an obvious optimization for a number of canvas heavy aircraft (think shuttle, airliners).

:: Review Tim's original suggestion<ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/36659646/</ref>: Another [Canvas] optimization is to use a pre-render camera that isn't in the scene graph to do the Canvas rendering.

* [https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/flightgear/ci/next/tree/src/Canvas/canvas_mgr.cxx#l72 This is how Canvas placements are registered] (the canvas provides a default placement that is added via the gui camera) [https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/flightgear/ci/next/tree/src/Canvas/gui_mgr.cxx#l205] | |||
