Hi,

sorry, I can only guess at potential problems...

I am assuming you are viewing the data with osgviewer so that I can discard other cases where blending might not be set up correctly.

The black portions normally indicate that something is up with the blending of data. E.g. sometimes the geotiffs have transparent areas that have to be blended with other tiles. This occurs e.g. when the tiles are not square. Since the dted data has no colour data, I'm not sure what the image data will blend with.

What I would try is to use one of the BMNG tiles as a backdrop. See on the wiki for a link. The BMNG tile covers a wide area and would be used for places in the terrain where you do not supply your own higher res image data.

I have another question for you JP.  I have been playing with the osgdem
tool and trying to create a terrain database with some aerial photos (
geotiffs ).  After my database is generated using the command:

Osgdem --geocentric --terrain -d DTED -t image.tif -l 4 -o test\test.ive

I get something that looks about right except that the terrain around the
image is blacked out.  More area is blacked out when I'm viewing the higher
layers.  I'm attaching a small image so that you can see what I'm talking
about.  If you look near the top left corner of the black area you can
barely make out my tiny little geotiff image.  When I zoom out the black
area becomes larger.  When I zoom in it becomes smaller but never goes
completely away.  It seems that whichever tile ( I think that's the right
term ) the image is located in is blacked out everywhere except where the
image is.  Is it not possible to use images that only cover a portion of
your terrain or am I just missing some command line arguments or something?

Thanks
Greg

Hi JP,

I'm new and I'm a little fuzzy on the versioning between VPB and OSG.
It looks like for the example you have provided, we need an older
version (2.3.6) of OSG.  Do you know if there are plans to upgrade VPB
to work with the latest releases of OSG or am I totally missing
something?

Thanks for any info.
Greg

sorry, I should have made the versions I used more explicit. For the example I used OSG and VPB from svn around June.

osgversion says 2.5.1.

svn info gives:
Revision: 8413 for OSG
and
Revision: 914 for VPB

I'll add the info to the example page.

regards
jp
