Re: [osg-users] [vpb] osgEarth, VirtualPlanetBuilder best use, right for my needs?
hi, what do you consider 'high-resolution' data and where do you need it? USGS has 1/3 arcsecond elevation for all CONUS downloadable via The National Map website, and some 1/9 arcsecond in areas. -- mew On May 26, 2014 7:39 AM, Robert Grah smilingmolec...@web.de wrote: Hey guys, I am quite new to OSG and i am a bit unsure if i have the right approach.

Re: [osg-users] [vpb] osgEarth, VirtualPlanetBuilder best use, right for my needs?
I think osgEarth is probably your best bet. VPB doesn't really offer any opportunities for animatable heightmaps. Also, osgEarth has quite a bit larger feature set. Check it out and I'd be happy to answer any questions.
