Look at Draw call backs on pfChannels
and or pfNodes

You have to do this in the Draw process
as only this process has Opengl context.

Subject: mixing various API's

pfGreeting,

Here's a question. How do I mix different Open GL api's within a single
Performer app? For instance: Say I've got a Performer scene, of maybe a
car. I want to do the car, and some ofthe surrounding geometry with
Performer, but the hubcaps could be nicely done with Open GL Shader. Say
that I've got a routine for volumizer for doing clouds, and I've already got
a gui written in plain old open gl that I want to put over the app. How is
this done?

I've heard it's possible to do this -- but actual implementation is hard to
find.

pfThanks in pfAdvance
