Re: [osg-users] How to use setSampleRatio on terrain generated with VPB?
Hi David, If there isn't a Terrain node decorating your terrian just add one, then add your paged terrain to this. Also w.r.t distant tiles being rendered at full res, this shouldn't be happening as VPB generates a hierarchical paged database, with PagedLOD being the central bit of glue that makes the paging work - PagedLOD is a LOD. My guess is that everything may well be working just fine, just your expectations are off. Also when doing benchmarking of paged database only do it in meshed mode, as modern drivers render wireframe very slowly compared to meshed ones. Wireframe is good just for double checking what the paging is doing. As a general note I'd also add the VPB by default does build pretty high res databases, you can temper this in the original build or at runtime via the LODScale and SampleRatio, personally I'd recommend the later as it allows you to trade performance for quality on hardware that can't handle the high res datasets, but on high end hardware you can let everything run at full res.

Re: [osg-users] How to use setSampleRatio on terrain generated with VPB?
Hi,
from the example:
osgTerrain::Terrain* terrain =
findTopMostNodeOfTypeosgTerrain::Terrain(rootnode);
if (!terrain)
{
terrain = new osgTerrain::Terrain;
terrain-addChild(rootnode);
rootnode = terrain;
}
terrain-setSampleRatio(sampleRatio);
