Thanks the responses everyone! This is actually very exciting news, as I was getting ready to redesign some software I have been working on to try to force the same effect (and the deadline is in less than a week!).
Now, I will have to ask that you excuse my ignorance, but I am very unfamiliar with the vpb tool and mapping tools in general to be honest. The application I am using requires that I use VPB/osgdem 0.9.10 since we are using a third party library that runs on top of an older version of openscenegraph to display the maps. The command that I have been using to generate maps from the GEOTIFF textures I have is something like the following: Code: osgdem -o MyMap.ive -l 15 --compressed --skirt-ratio 0.0 --levels 0 15 -t MyGeotiffTextureDir I have looked up the command line options on the "Osgdem/vpbmaster Command Line Options" page I noticed there is a list /w a small description but it didn't seem very helpful unless you already have some experience with how the application works. I have geotiffs taken from a number of different scales (in separate directories) : 5M:1, 1M:1, 500K:1, 250K:1, 100K:1 ...etc I guess where I am getting confused is how I specify what scale of textures I want to show at what levels. Its my understanding that using the command above, I am currently generating 15 levels. Any thoughts on how to specify textures at each of those levels? Can I specify each level with a different "-t TextureDir" argument? Also, is osgdem "smart" enough to figure out when the best time to show the next level is based on scale? As far as the "popping" effect mentioned earlier, that isn't a concern. It may actually be better as our customers will be able to recognize when they are looking at different map data/scales. Any quick responses are greatly appreciated as I am under a bit of a time crunch! Thank you!
