Re: [osg-users] VPB terrain to OpenFlight...

You could export the geometry and perhaps convert PagedLOD to LOD's, but this will require a custom visitor to do the job and the bits you end up with won't be particularly useful.

Re: [osg-users] VPB terrain to OpenFlight...
Robert, Thanks for the timely reply. That's basically what I needed to know. I'm assuming if I had a database with a single LOD (e.g. a heightfield) then that might come across okay?

Actually the osgTerrain components including the height filed won't be supported by OpenFlight either... so all you'd get would be the LOD's... You can build databases that contain just LOD's and osg::Geometry based tiles but you'll need to explicitly select this when you do the VPB build.

Got it. I'll give that a try and see how things shake out.
