Re: [osg-users] OSG-based excavator simulator

Hi Torben, Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, I was on vacation. That looks great! What sky framework did you use? It looks a little bit like Simul trueSky... We used a slightly modified osgEphemeris, along with a simple cloud plane (a plane with circular blending around the edges, with a good

Re: [osg-users] OSG-based excavator simulator

Hi Paul, Hi J-S -- It looks great. But I do have a couple questions. No problem, I'll answer as best I can. :-) How flexible is your art pipeline / rendering process for loading arbitrary models? Could you replace that excavator with some arbitrary CAD machinery, such as a tractor, and get

Re: [osg-users] OSG-based excavator simulator

Hi Ulrich, Maybe what Paul was asking about (and what I always like to learn from other people's setups) is: are the different textures (normals/specular maps) and shader assignments all set up when you get them from your modeller? Or do you have to do additional tweaking from within your

Hi J-S -- It looks great. But I do have a couple questions. How flexible is your art pipeline / rendering process for loading arbitrary models? Could you replace that excavator with some arbitrary CAD machinery, such as a tractor, and get the same visual fidelity? Or is there quite a bit of

Re: [osg-users] OSG-based excavator simulator

Great project! We also create simulators. You can watch this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLRHiklQFv8 (starting at 4 minutes 30 seconds) What do you think about the publication of such projects on the page http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Screenshots/ ? 2011/4/20 Paul Martz

Hi all, I just wanted to give you guys a heads up about a prototype project we worked on lately, and which I think looks great. There's a video of it on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/vortexsim#p/u/1/RhJR0qQJfAQ (set it to 1080p if you can) We did that demo in 3 weeks (2

Hi J-S, 3 weeks with 2 developers!!! Now I really feel like a rookie! Cheers, Greg -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=38612#38612 ___ osg-users mailing list

Re: [osg-users] OSG-based excavator simulator

Hi Greg, 3 weeks with 2 developers!!! Now I really feel like a rookie! Out of pure modesty, I have to admit we already had a lot of framework in place for heavy equipment simulation. Nevertheless, this vehicle and the graphical effects I listed were new and were done in that time span. I

Hello Jean-Sebastien, Congratulations on the visual quality, it's really good. I'm curious about the shadows, did you use OSG's shadow system for them? Cheers Eduardo On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 12:41 PM, Jean-Sébastien Guay jean-sebastien.g...@cm-labs.com wrote: Hi all, I just wanted to give

Hello Eduardo, Congratulations on the visual quality, it's really good. I'm curious about the shadows, did you use OSG's shadow system for them? Yep, that's osgShadow::LightSpacePerspectiveShadowMapDB in action. There were some recent improvements to help with stability of the shadows, it's
