Hi Robert, My own PSSM code and osgshadow both exhibit this problem. The code you wrote that makes shadow cameras measure LOD distances from the main camera's position works fine... until you introduce a LOD scale on the main camera. The shadow cameras keep using a LOD scale of 1.0 instead of using the LOD scale that you set on the main camera.
I am able to work around the problem by explicitly setting the LOD scale on all of my shadow cameras, but this won't work for people using osgshadow unless they are given access to all of its shadow cameras. - Terry > Message: 10 > Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2007 07:16:08 +0100 > From: "Robert Osfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [osg-users] shadows and LOD scale > To: "OpenSceneGraph Users" <[email protected]> > Message-ID: > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Hi Terry, > > I have played with LODScale at the present osgShadow techniques, but > the concept of EyePoint and ViewPoint methods in NodeVistor are > intended to help with this issue - it was written in response to your > original request for such a feature when you did your original PSSM > code.
