Re: [osg-users] may be some bug in dds plugin

Just to add my 2p, the changes I submitted would only be seen as colour changes (red/blue swap) on dds write; I didn't do anything with regard to file sizes. The image is DXT1 encoded, and includes 6 levels of mipmap. I had a quick look, and it's falling over in the osgImage.release() method at

Re: [osg-users] may be some bug in dds plugin

Ah - just noticed. The DDS file you attached claims to have 10 mipmaps, but there is only data for (and it only makes sense to have) 7. So, firstly, something looks broken in whatever wrote the file, in terms of retrieving the number of mipmaps. Setting it to a low value during the image load

Re: [osg-users] Independent prerender step

I do exactly that, using a camera which does the following: 1) Sets DO_NOT_COMPUTE_NEAR_FAR so that the skydome doesn't influence the auto-z calculation; otherwise large skydome radii will skew the rest of the scenes znear/zfar 2) Forces the projection matrix so that the skydome radius is within

Re: [osg-users] stateSet texture attribute override

I've had similar problems due to the optimiser optimising away empty groups that had attached statesets. Are you optimising? If you are, try outputting the file as .osg and comparing it with and without an optimiser pass. David On 02/10/2007, Riccardo Corsi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Cedric,

Re: [osg-users] Trackball and view question

Question 1) : You are trying to retrieve the Euler angles (i.e. rotation about X,Y,Z in some order) from a matrix. You can google for Euler and Matrix; alternatively start here: http://www.euclideanspace.com/maths/geometry/rotations/conversions/matrixToEuler/index.htm Question 2) : As mentioned

Re: [osg-users] crash in GL2Extensions::glDeleteShader

Familiar looking stack trace... Not that this will help you, but we were getting this an awful lot in both release and debug builds. The specific situation was that we had a subclass of an OpenThreads thread that had an osgViewer::Viewer as a member - or actually, we had a ref_ptr to the viewer

Re: [osg-users] osgHUD 0.1.1 ALPHA

Jeremy, I am very keen on experimenting with your HUD. However, as a Windows/VisC++ 7.1 user, I have a lot of difficulty with the code. I'm not a cross-platform expert, so I have difficulty in knowing how to simultaneously specify a windows and linux acceptable build. I can submit my stuff to

[osg-users] IntersectionVisitor / strange problem of persistence

Dear OSGers, I'm kind of stumped and I was hoping that somebody might tell me where to look... I have a HUD (simple geometry underneath a Ortho projection node underneath a Post-render camera) exactly as per the osgpick example . I pick exactly as per osgpick, although I parse mouse button

No worries - sorted. Wasn't calling dirtyBound() in the right places... Sorry for the waste of bandwidth. David On 20/12/2007, David Spilling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear OSGers, I'm kind of stumped and I was hoping that somebody might tell me where to look... I have a HUD (simple

Re: [osg-users] OSG_FEM

Hi Ugras, What you ask is slightly strange, and I apologies if this reply appears too patronising - it isn't meant to be! OSG is basically a rendering package; it just draws things. To try to interpret your question sensibly: 1) Can OSG import FEM meshes? I imagine that if your mesher can
