Scenegraph rewrite

[joevenzon]

Sorry to hijack your thread Joe.

No problem. :-)

I've started to integrate car coloring( http://vdrift.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=1325 ). My current idea is to create the car texture from color.png + rgb + bodyXX.png in software(using SDL). The alternative would be to add another texture to drawable and do it in the shader. I am not sure which approach is more appealing. What do you think? (I am too lazy to implement both, but I maybe will have to.)

I think the color selection part during car select would benefit from having it done in the shader, because then you could show updates immediately. I like the software idea because it reduces texture assets and texture units required, though... but with a lot of similar cars, the shader way is better again. So... not clear to me which is better. I've leaning toward the shader way. Maybe do whichever is easier? :?
