I can't look at the data right now, but I did look at some of your other models and I think they look very interesting for this demo. I have someone working on this demo right now. One thing we are tying to allow is that this demo could be used in a mode where it generates all of it's own data. This would allow it to be included as a standard tutorial and just work. Right now we are talking about using some of the OpenSG primitive models (like teapots) and letting the user request how many objects to create and at what level of detail. By doing it this way the user could end up generating as many triangles as they want with a very small program. That said, we also want the ability to just have the application load a large model that is actually meaningful. This is where your autogenerated city data could be very helpful. Once we get that far I will make sure we try out the model and let you know how it goes. Speaking of you city models, could they be generated with multiple levels of detail? We have another piece of code we have contributed to OpenSG recently (expect an announcement very soon). This code provides some occlusion culling support and screen size LODs. We are looking for some good example datasets for this code and once again some of your city models could work very well. -Allen > cheers, > simon > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
