Re: [osg-users] VPB and imagery without filename extensions.
Hi Ken,
I wasn't aware that there were extensionless file that were required
to be supported. The method that is catching and rejecting these
files exists to help VPB better handle source directories that contain
more than just source data, such as text files etc. We could add an
option to disable this, but my preference would be to better detect
this problem files as being supported.
The code that manages the filtering of source files can be found in
the vpb::System class, with the methods of interest being:
inline bool isFileTypeSupported(const std::string filename,
int acceptedTypeMask) const
{
return
isExtensionSupported(osgDB::getFileExtension(filename),
acceptedTypeMask);
}
inline bool isExtensionSupported(const std::string ext, int
acceptedTypeMask) const
{
SupportedExtensions::const_iterator itr =
_supportedExtensions.find(ext);
if (itr != _supportedExtensions.end()) return
(itr-second.acceptedTypeMask acceptedTypeMask)!=0;
else return false;
}
The _supportedExtensions data structure is populated by
System::System() constructor that queries GDAL for what extension are
supported. Reviewing the code now there is check again an empty
extension string, so perhaps this could be relaxed to all empty
extension strings. The relevant code in System::System is:
GDALDriverManager* driverManager = GetGDALDriverManager();
if (driverManager)
{
for(unsigned int i=0; idriverManager-GetDriverCount(); ++i)
{
GDALDriver* driver = driverManager-GetDriver(i);
if (driver)
{
const char* ext = driver-GetMetadataItem(DMD_EXTENSION);
if (ext strlen(ext)!=0)
{
addSupportedExtension(ext,
Source::IMAGE | Source::HEIGHT_FIELD,
driver-GetMetadataItem( GDAL_DMD_LONGNAME ));
}
}
}
}
The other possibility would be to manually do an
addSupportedExtension(,SOURCE::IMAGE | SOURCE::HEIGHTFIELD,) entry
to hack support in for extensionless files. This would mean that the
filtering wouldn't be so effective though.
The other route would be to add a fallback in the
System::isFileTypeSupported() that calls GDAL to see if it can handle
the file format. This is relatively expensive to do though, as VPB
can process ten or even hundreds of thousands of source files.
Robert.

A lot of the imagery data we use is in ENVI's native format. GDAL does
support it and it has worked in previous versions of Virtual Planet
Builder. It now fails with the current SVN head (953) because the data
doesn't use a filename extension. Typically the ENVI format is composed
of two files (sample.hdr and sample, for example). One file has the
projection and image info, the other is just the raw data. All the gdal
commands want the file without the extension as the argument.
Previously, this was not an issue with VPB, but the new method of
checking filename extensions on input files is causing problems. Since
there is no extension to add to VPB's list, may I suggest a flag for VPB
to tell it not to do the filename extensions checking?

Re: [osg-users] Problems with VPB and DTED data.
Hi Ken, This topic is really an continuation of your earlier post about extension-less source data, I'll assume you've read my reply to the earlier message in this reply. My hope with the code in vpb::System::System that queries supported GDAL's file extensions was that it'd catch all supported formats, but if the list isn't complete then this may well be a GDAL bug/incompleteness. Since users will use VPB against a range of different versions of GDAL then I'd suggest we add the missing ones into the System::System header to catch them. Perhaps one thing we could do is when we read a source file we check against the supported extension list, if it matches then accept the source file, if it doesn't match then check a black list of unsupported extensions, if it matches then reject it, else check the file by trying to load it with GDAL then if it succeeds accept it, and add the extension to the white list, if it fails add it to the black list. Such as scheme should allow us to steadily build up the list of supported/unsupported files. Robert.

Looking at the VPB code, VPB gets a list of GDAL supported extensions (and adds a few that GDAL doesn't report).

I don't know if the fix belongs in GDAL or VPB, but as a quick work-around add the following lines to the end of the VPB System constructor (src/vpb/System.cpp): addSupportedExtension(dt0, Source::IMAGE | Source::HEIGHT_FIELD, DTED Level 0); addSupportedExtension(dt1, Source::IMAGE | Source::HEIGHT_FIELD, DTED Level 1); addSupportedExtension(dt2, Source::IMAGE | Source::HEIGHT_FIELD, DTED Level 2); Ken. ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org

Re: [osg-users] Packaging distribution under Windows
Hi Sukender, On this subject I won't offer much input, because IMHO on Windows it's up to the application developer to make sure their app can find all its dependencies. How you do it is up to you. One option I'd like to point out that you didn't seem to have in your list is that there could be an installer for the OSG binaries (made by CMake's NSIS support), which would also set an environment variable, say OSG_2.8.0_BIN_PATH. Your app's installer would check if that variable exists, and if not, would tell you to go and get the binaries installer and install it. Then, once installed, your app would add this path to the PATH variable when it starts and then would be able to find all OSG DLLs. That way you could have only one installation of a given release of OSG on your system, and all apps that need that version would be able to use it, without polluting the Windows system directories. And about installers... Should we copy the DLLs to the system dir? What about Vista and its strange policies about having access to system dirs (I simply stayed under XP :D )? No, please don't do that. Please keep the separation between system DLLs and application DLLs... I hate it when an app installs something to the system directories... Of course it's your choice of how you deploy your apps, but I think that's the worst option. I'd prefer each app have its local copy of the OSG DLLs. But that's just my opinion.

If you need to set cmake_minimum_required to less than 2.6.3 please

Re: [osg-users] Lightning problem with camera point of view
Hi Vincent, I use 3 lights in the scene, but sometimes there is some lighting strange behavior, depending a very little camera orientation change... From the screenshots I can't say if this is your problem, but I have sometimes seen some cases where moving the camera just a little bit would make an object flash - i.e. the lighting would be dark then light then dark then light. I have found that this was often caused by the model not having vertex normals in it. In my case I would fix it by opening the model in MultiGen Creator and using the Calculate Shading tool, which calculates vertex normals for the model, and resaving it. In my case, this problem did not appear when using the fixed pipeline. I assume that's because the fixed pipeline can handle cases where the model has only face normals just fine, whereas my shaders assumed that vertex normals were available, and in the case of some models that wasn't true.

[osg-users] Swapping the color buffer on an FBO
Hello all, I'm trying to swap the color buffer of an FBO camera in an event handler. When I initialise the FBO camera like so: counter = 0; m_camera-attach( osg::Camera::COLOR_BUFFER, m_textureList.at( counter ).get() ); It works, but then when I try to swap the color buffer using the following: ++counter; m_camera-detach( osg::Camera::COLOR_BUFFER ); m_camera-attach( osg::Camera::COLOR_BUFFER, m_textureList.at( counter ).get() ); It appears that the original texture is still attached and being updated. Am I misusing the FBO here? Is it not possible to swap buffers once the camera has been initialised? Obviously the same effect could be achieved using a switch and a series of FBO cameras but this solution seemed like a nice tidy one. Thanks in advance.

This approach allows the plugin to just focus on wiring up the rendering to an osg::Image and passing of events to the 3td party library. Robert.

Re: [osg-users] Swapping the color buffer on an FBO
Hi Kim, osg::Camera and the rendering backend are currently implemented with the assumption that once initialized they will just be used without changes.

Re: [osg-users] Loading movie
Hi Robert and Tanguy
I noticed you talking about video plugins. I've written a few image streams
that allow me to run video files and webcam streams, but haven't taken the
leap to creating a plug-in. I'd find it very interesting to look at the
source for this and see what steps are required (as manually attaching the
images to textures is a nightmare)
One thing I am keen to solve is the non power of 2 video issue, currently I
have to create a texture the nearest ^2 up then load the image into the
corner of it. I then use a TexMat to rescale the texcoords to account for
this ( the reason for this is pushing non ^2 textures onto graphics cards is
slow and webcams don't usually do ^2)
Would a plugin automatically be able to insert this TexMat ?

Re: [osg-users] OFT: Interesting commentary of the future of OpenGL
Paul: I agree with most of what you said on your blog and I would have posted a message there instead of to the whole OSG body except I know some of the hardware vendors hang out here and may not see your blog. It area I strongly disagree with is the automatic updates. That is one feature that has caused much trauma in the past. Microsoft has a very bad habit of pushing out patches that break applications. While we can uninstall the patch in some cases we can not in others. And even when we can uninstall the patch, Microsoft wants to help us out and reinstall it. Hardware drivers tend to have a more severe impact on the operation of the overall system. I have heard many times on this forum through the years that the best option to fix a problem (especially with ATI cards) is to revert back to the previous version until the latest driver is patched. I really hope that hardware vendors do not adopt the automatic update mode of operation because I fear it will lead to system instability. If every hardware vendor was to do that we would not know what driver update caused what. Microsoft is right at the top of the list for poor system configuration control. When they pushed Vista out through all of the PC vendors they made the Microsoft Finger Print scanner, my HP flatbed scanner and my Brother Laser Writer obsolete. They did this because they do not have a proper view of backward compatibility. When I found out the laser writer and scanner were not supported I chalked it up to it's the other guys problem but when there own finger print scanner was deemed longer supported I had to say that is Microsoft for you. If it was not for the fact that my job is writing software in a PC / Windows environment I would not have it at home either.

Re: [osg-users] OFT: Interesting commentary of the future of OpenGL
Not sure if this is an appropriate place to post this - and I'm not trying to start a flame war, but. It is in MSFT's financial interest for OpenGL to die. Their games platform (XNA), the replacement for the win32gui (WPF) and the replacement Flash on the web(silverlight) are all based on DirectX/D3D. While any app that is written to OpenGL(ES) can potentially run on a competitor's OS. Microsoft isn't exactly averse to ignoring standards, or adopting and co-opting them to proprietary implementations (embrace and extend). It's also technically quite easy to prevent card manufacturers from shipping an OpenGL driver by refusing to certify them - while it is possible to install uncertified drivers in Vista/Windows7 it's not exactly customer friendly. There aren't any products in this area big enough for MSFT to care about. But the largest, Autodesk, have switched to DirectX/D3D. -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=7333#7333 ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
Re: [osg-users] [osgPPU] Multisampling/RenderBuffer Support
Hi Stephan, hmm, you are pointing an interesting feature, which I could take into account to implement for the next stable version. However I am wonder if a multisampling capability has to be supported on the osgPPU side or just on the OSG side. As for me, a multisampling/supersampling is a renderbuffer, into which the scene is rasterized/rendered and then its content is copied into or accessed as a texture and processed further. Hence, it is a question of setting up the render buffer of the camera in your scene properly, so that the output can be processed as usual texture. Or did I misunderstood something? Can you bring more ideas or wishes, what do you like to have? -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=7334#7334 ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org

From the screenshots I can't say if this is your problem, but I have sometimes seen some cases where moving the camera just a little bit would make an object flash - i.e. the lighting would be dark then light then dark then light. I have found that this was often caused by the model not having vertex normals in it. In my case I would fix it by opening the model in MultiGen Creator and using the Calculate Shading tool, which calculates vertex normals for the model, and resaving it. In my case, this problem did not appear when using the fixed pipeline. I assume that's because the fixed pipeline can handle cases where the model has only face normals just fine, whereas my shaders assumed that vertex normals were available, and in the case of some models that wasn't true.

I didn't expect that my suggestion of automatic OpenGL driver updates would be popular with developers. Personally, I'd hate it. However, most end users would favor the idea. Put yourself in their shoes: Many of them probably don't even know how to spell device driver.

I wouldn't like Microsoft to dump D3D. I think the software ecosystem is healthier if there is more than one solution.

Re: [osg-users] [osgPPU] Multisampling/RenderBuffer Support
Art, From what I can tell, the multisampling capability already exists in OSG via the Camera's attach function. However, when looking at the RenderStage code, you can see that a different FBO is created to handle the multisampled objects. From runCameraSetup() in RenderStage.cpp: fbo_multisample-setAttachment(buffer, osg::FrameBufferAttachment(new osg::RenderBuffer( width, height, internalFormat, samples, colorSamples))); When multisampling is specified in the camera, a different FBO is set up that specifically attaches to a RenderBuffer target (rather than directly to a texture). I believe that internal FBOs in osgPPU would need to follow that same type of mentality.

It a free one ? google give me answers but I don't see anything about a free product. Is there any equivalent in OSG ? Hehehe... No, Creator is a 3D modeling software. What I was saying is that when a model has bad / inexistent normals, I have to go in the modeling software and generate normals for it. In my case, our models are in OpenFlight (.flt) format which is the native format of MultiGen Creator (which is a de-facto standard in simulation, and which is read natively by OSG too) so I use that software, but it was just an example.

Re: [osg-users] [osgPPU] Multisampling/RenderBuffer Support
Hi Stephan, from my knowledge RenderBuffer is nothing else than a logical buffer which can't be read in a shader programm or somewhere else. If you want to read values from the renderbuffers you have to copy them first into a texture. Hence, I am not really clear, how this should be helpful for osgPPU. osgPPU is meant to be a processing engine of input data to output. Input data is in most cases are camera attachments (colorbuffer, depthbuffer, stencil, ...). In order to process them one has to use textures, otherwise processing is useless, I think. In RenderStage.cpp there is also renderbuffers attached to the fbo, even if multisampling is not used. Any camera attachment can be reached by UnitCameraAttachmentBypass unit in the osgPPU. This things do also work pretty well, for depth buffer and color buffer (for which render buffer is also used). Hence, I am pretty sure, that if you use the multisampled render buffer for the camera, there will be no difference to the usual use. However, I have not tried this before, and therefor can not be sure for 100 per cent. As for the internal FBOs of osgPPU, I do not see any benefit of using RenderBuffers, because from them you can not read any data and hence data can not be processed. Therefor, I am not really sure, how they could help. However, I would like to test, if this will bring some performance benefit, but I am very sceptical.

[osg-users] Multi-colored osgSim::SphereSegment?
Hello, What's the best way to draw a sphere with the ability to color some of the surface's segments differently? What I'm trying to do ... I'd like to change the color of a given segment if it is intersected by a ray (leaving the rest of the sphere color the same). I've used the osgSim::SphereSegment, but I don't think it allows for explicitly coloring a specified segment. It looks like the entire Surface is added as one drawable. Would be easy to change how the way the Surface drawable is added ... creating a different drawable for every segment ... and enabling them to be indexed by azimuth/elevation angle (or range)? I could start from scratch, but I was hoping to leverage osgSim::SphereSegment in some way. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Eric, I haven't used it, but apparently Gnash (GNU Flash movie player)[1] has multiple backends for rendering flash content. I quickly downloaded the source tarball and I see backends for OpenGL, Cairo and AGG in there. As Jeremy indicated, the Cairo context would likely be the way to go if you want results fast. Perhaps a customized backend for OSG would be most flexible. Apparently, also movies inside flash content can be played back using GStreamer or ffmpeg according to this thread [2].

The events are passed seamlessly to the plugin implementation, and can handle application of the texture on to non planar objects.
