replies: text: I originally added the tag, and it was not so much out of concern about which features to list, rather, how the information is presented. There are quite some claims of high performance - notably in the very first sentence of the article - which would probably require (third-party) comparisons to other projects to justify inclusion in an encyclopaedic article; also, I'm a bit uncomfortable with wordings such as "...allowing terabyte database to be explored at a solid 60Hz" and "Hobby becomes Obsession". Finally, the article may be in a grey area regarding copyright - the content seems to have been largely lifted from here, here and here - which may be a problem, since the OSG wiki apparently does not specify a free-content licence (I may have missed something here). In any case, I think a rewrite from scratch would be the best idea for this article. Changed to  tag for now; feel free to remove if you disagree. — Peter L <talk|contribs> 19:25, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I have recently finished my master's thesis on the topic of the comparison of open-source rendering libraries - specifically OSG, OGRE, Irrlicht, Crystal Space and OpenSG. It was recommended to me by my academic supervisors to publish my conclusions online on a site like wipedia, so I could indeed write some article like Comparison of 3D Scenegraph APIs. However, my experiences with wiki are rather slim and I'd need some help in order to pull it off, especially if someone told me which categories to include and which sources to mention. I think I might be able to include a list of possible kinds of 3D applications (games, apps for embedded devices and so on) with information on which opensource rendering libraries are best suited for that purpose and why, and a rather lengthy table providing a comparison among the five libraries I mentioned according to ten different criterions, but not much more than that. The full thesis is available for viewing at http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/study/DP/DP.php?id=12836&file=t , but it's only in Slovak language. However, I won't really be much of a problem for me to translate some of the key parts into English.  Xzalet00 14:20, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

message: I am going to remove the term "high performance" from the description because there is no basis for this.
Additionaly, the factual background is that OpenSceneGraph is per definitien not efficient because the concept is not in conjunction with typical computer memory architecture.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.235.101.95 (talk) 02:28, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "high performance" 

message: I propose that OpenThreads be merged into OpenSceneGraph. I think that OpenThreads lacks sufficient existence outside of the OSG, is easily be explained in the context of OSG, and the OSG article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of OpenThreads will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. -- Ben (talk) 00:01, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
