osgVRPN does has some nice convenience code, which is really its main purpose. I'm sure Mike would love some help updating the osgVRPN build.

Re: [osg-users] 3D mice
Thank you Jan. I will have to check it out. I will take a look at the tutorial you mentioned previously to see how to do that (I presume that is where you would suggest looking). It would be great if it is 10-15 lines of code, no additional dependencies other than VRPN, and creates nice smooth movements.

There is a simple (non-osg-specific) VRPN tuto here:
http://www.vrgeeks.org/vrpn/tutorial---use-vrpn
A callback to update a matrix on an osg::MatrixTrasform from the
quaternion/vector that you get from VRPN is just a copy paste from
an example in OSG. Or, even simpler, you can do it from the VRPN
callbacks directly, just retrieve the data you want and set it to the
node's matrix.
Just don't forget to run the mainloop() function during the update
traversal of the scenegraph - that is when the above mentioned
callbacks get actually called if there are new data from the VRPN
server. That can be done either in an update callback on some node
somewhere or if you don't mind a bit of a mess in your code, put it in
the main loop, somehow like this:
while (!viewer.done())
{
tkr-mainloop();
viewer.frame();
}
That's pretty much all there is to VRPN on the client side. The other
classes (Button, Analog, Dial, etc.) work pretty much the same - open
a remote, register a callback and then call the mainloop() on the
remote.
Regards,
Jan

Re: [osg-users] osgParticle::ExplosionEffect: assistance needed
Sergey, Thanks for the info on particle systems. I'll dig into it and see what I'm doing with my transforms. Out of frustration, I had implemented something similar to your suggestion for handling QT resources. I simply read a png directly from the QT resource and then write it out to the drive using a temporary file name. Then I hand my particle system the name of that file. It seems a bit sloppy but it works for now. -Mike -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=54067#54067 ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
Re: [osg-users] 3D mice
There was an osgVRPN update from Will Hollingsworth last summer, it worked with OSG 3+ See: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=50550 IIRC, to get Mike Weiblen's last commit compiling against OSG 3, the main thing is to change TrackerManipulator's base class from the MatrixManipulator to CameraManipulator - post back here if that doesn't do it, and I'll see if I can figure out what else it took. Once you have that going, you should be able to just use a TrackerManipulator to navigate your scene as shown in the osgVRPNviewer.cpp example, and set up your VRPN config to use your 3dConnexion device as pseudo-tracker (vrpn_Tracker_AnalogFly) - the navigator_usb.cfg in the osgVRPN does exactly that. The Hollingsworth branch adds the typical VR navigation functions to translate or rotate in user space and a walled mode for use on a fixed screen, but I think if all you have is your 3D mouse, you will be fine with the previous version and the pseudo-tracker, which essentially does the navigation on the VRPN side instead of the OSG side.

Re: [osg-users] 3D mice
Thank you, I will check it out. The difficulty that I see with osgWorks and osgToy is that they seem to maintain their own internal data that is used to set the view matrix. This is problematic for me as I want to still allow mouse and keyboard manipulation of the camera.

Hi Asher
In some of my application, I would like to detect when a clic + mouse move
event happen. My goal is to display on screen during the clic + mouse move
only objects bounding boxes.
see osgkeyboardmouse example,
have an additional flag for clicked stateL
pseudocode:
case(osgGA::GUIEventAdapter::PUSH):
{
clicked = true;
_mx = ea.getX();
_my = ea.getY();
return false;
}
and for
case(osgGA::GUIEventAdapter::MOVE):
{
_mxnew = ea.getX();
_mynew = ea.getY();
if(clicked) coord of mouse changed
{
perform your actions
}
else
{
_mx = _mxnew;
_my = _mxnew;
return false;
}
case(osgGA::GUIEventAdapter::RELEASE):
{
clicked = false;
}

Re: [osg-users] 3D mice
Also, I actually really would like to interact with VRPN directly instead of yet another dependency (as Jan stated). I have it working where I see the vrpn_Analog vrpn_Button classes. I need to take a look at vrpn_Tracker_AnalogFly (as Jan pointed out) to see if that is more useful. As mentioned in a previous post, I still want the regular mouse and keyboard to function whether or not the 3D mouse is attached. Ideally, I would take the current view matrix, pass it into a function to allow VRPN to manipulate it, and set the manipulated matrix as the new current view. -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=54073#54073 ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
Re: [osg-users] 3D mice
I'm not sure what you want to control with the spaceball, but... I'd like to point out that osgwMx (part of osgWorks) controls a matrix. You can use that matrix for whatever you want, such as controlling a view position or MatrixTransform. So you should be able to use osgGA mouse/kbd to control your view, and use osgwMx/spaceball to control whatever else you want to control. They should be completely independent.

[osg-users] DatabasePager setTargetMaximumNumberOfPageLOD behavior
Hi,
I'm hoping to get some clarification on how the
DatabasePager::setTargetMaximumNumberOfPageLOD is supposed to work. I am
setting this value to 3 in my application. I then use the following
function to create and add PagedLODs the the scene:
void AddPagedLOD()
{
osg::ref_ptrosg::PagedLOD lod = new osg::PagedLOD;
lod-addChild( new osg::Group, 10.0f, FLT_MAX );
lod-setFileName(1,large.osgb);
lod-setRange(1,0.0f,10.0f);
root-addChild(lod);
}
When I add 3 PagedLODs to my scene and have them load the file, they are
never released from memory once I leave the active range. This makes sense
since the number PagedLODs is not above the target.
However, when I add 4 PagedLODs then leave the active range, all 4 files
are released from memory. I was expecting only 1 of the files to be
released.
Am I misunderstanding the behavior of this setting or should only 1 file be
released in this case?
I had a quick glance at the DatabasePager source and was able to make two
small changes to get the behavior I was expecting. However, I don't have
much experience dealing with PagedLODs and wanted to verify that this
should be the correct behavior before submitting a patch.
Cheers,
Farshid
