   Scene Graph: Where to start?
  I didn't have any knowledge on how to create a scene graph. Is there any good beginner book that will explain this in detail.Thank youJohn Stuart   
  A scene graph isn't really a beginner topic, so I doubt you'll find it in a beginner book.  How familiar are you with trees (creating, sorting, searching)?  That's essentially what a scene graph is.if you're fairly familiar with trees, all you really need to know is that each node inherits certain information such as transformations, materials, render states, etc... from its parent.I've read a few articles where they take an approach of creating separate trees for spatial properties, and rendering properties.If you're not familiar with trees, data structures are a really important part of being a good programmer, and I suggest hitting the library, a book store, or a few online tutorials.   ;  Yes, I'm familiar with trees. I took a class about that last year.So, am I ready to make one? I found this thread. http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=349829 Is this good enough to make a simple to advanced one?Thank youJohn Stuart
