Hi Guys, I ve been thinking more about this and I come up with an idea of having general purpose large db plugin that will use PageLOD. There are some formats around nowdays like TerraPage, OpenFlight, MetaFlight (well, this one is an xml and it works mostly with OpenFlight files). TerraPage has each lod and each tile available in the archive, and I know there are some approaches to have the similar schema with OpenFlight as well (both TerraVista and Creator Terrain Studio can export each LOD of a tile separately). So my idea is to make most of the TerraPage like handling (Robert wrote the TileMapper needed for smart mesh management in the TerraPage loader) available natively for large database management of any format. This includes proper tile management (similar to what is in in the txp loader).
Another issue I discussed with Robert is memory pools for fast and small allocations. I ve done some tests and the results are promising. Things like vertices can be allocated from the pool and perhaps other objects that are heavily used. Thoughts?
