Greetings John!

I will be there! 

I didn't have anything to present this year. I've been digging myself out of 
the Ridgecrest Earthquake so I can get back to work.  I will bring my AV gear 
that you need.

If anyone has an issue messing around with the ".earth" files for OSGEarth I 
could give a brief guidance on that - given that I've been messing around on 
that stuff for a spell now!

... 

Thank you!

[osg-users] OSG BOF at SIGGRAPH 2019 in Los Angeles

[John Richardson]

Greetings and Salutations,

The OpenSceneGraph Birds Of A Feather Meeting at SIGGRAPH 2019 in Los
Angeles is scheduled for Wednesday July 31 at 11:00AM.

Purveyors and Gurus of OSG wisdom are invited to listen and/or demo
spectacular stratospheric feats of OSG wizardry.

If you have a demo just let me know (that helps). Also, you can just show up
in the BOF room and pull out voracious laptop fantastic CPU beasts and smile
while attendees cluster around in awe.

Re: [osg-users] [osgPlugins] Problems with dae plugin

[John Richardson]

Hello,

The Apple VR/AR philosophy seems to officially focus on DAE files. Unofficially 
it seems that other 3-D model files types are OK.

So, this solution strategy is very welcome. Thanks to the OSG community.

Ok, thank you, OSG ASSIMP seems to work for me.
I still don't have textures in OSG but also there are no errors, so it could be 
problem with the dae file itself.

It is pretty easy to build so I will recommend everyone to try this plugin if 
you have problems with dae. Just build, copy osgdb_assimp to osgPlugins 
directory and rename your dae file to .dae.assimp.

[osg-users] SIGGRAPH BOF Summary

[John Richardson]

Hello,

The BOF was a success and well attended. I will post a photo of smiling
faces.

Robert's slides were presented. The attendees consensus was that they were
more interested in Robert's thought's on the Vulcan future. His slides gave
some thoughts and some metrics on some preliminary tests that were very
nice. The slides on how OSG will still be supported was pleasing to the
multitude.

Steve Satterfield from NIST gave some results of a concrete simulation
versus real physical tests visualizing via OSG. The simulation was on a
supercomputer cluster at NIST I believe.

David presented his "Wally Pack" which is a backpack VR/AR affordable and
rugged solution using Windows Mixed Reality SDK [Hololens HMD I believe].

Re: [osg-users] The naming of VulkanSceneGraph

Chris / Robert,

I will make it a priority to see if I can meet with KHRONOS at SIGGRAPH
before the OSG BOF.

Oh, and while we are thinking OSG BOF, OSG BOF, OSG BOF.:-) ...:-)

All purveyor's of OSG wisdom are invited to present at the OSG BOF on
Wednesday Aug 15 [ or 15 AUG for the Europeans...:-) ...:-) ]

Start making your "wish list" of topics for such inquiries for me to
discuss.

We can take this off list if that is best.

I have met a few from the ARB/Khronos over the years but don't have
any personal contacts.   If people do then please let us know rather
chatting with them right away as going off cocked could do more damage than
good.  If you have a contact then please email me directly and we can then
coordinate.

If there are people going to Siggraph then this might be a time to bring up
the topic of the new scene graph and it's planned name to members of
Khronos, again just emailing me directly will be the best way to coordinate.

>From my perspective I think the VulkanSceneGraph is by far the most
appropriate name for the project, it is literally exactly what is says it
is.  I also believe that it'll be a big asset to Vulkan adoption beyond the
games industry and promotion to these sectors, and this will mean that it's
a valuable project for Khronos to be supportive of.

For now I'd like to just keep focused on making progress on the
technical/design side, get a design paper written, though the planned
timeline for this (late August) will be a bit late to share at Siggraph
which is in mid August.  By Siggraph I should have a clearer idea of how
thing will look so perhaps a draft might be possible.
Would also like think we'll have a triangle of two rendering by then in a
preliminary experiments.

[osg-users] SIGGRAPH OSG BOF Success and Thanks

[John Richardson]

Hello,

The OSG BOF at SIGGRAPH was a SUCCESS.

Thanks to Robert for the slides.

Also thanks to Steve Satterfield at NIST for a video presentation of
simulation results in a CAVE.

And Robert's first or second slide thanked the unlucky individual to be the
talking head...

Which was David Glenn who transferred OSG slide bullets into wisdom and also
gave a small VR HMD presentation 

David can always be counted upon to provide a screen, show and tell demo
stuff and even an extra projector. We had 2 extra projectors, 8 extra power
cords, 

172 little gold stars to David. 

Also 2 x 2 x 3 x7 little gold stars to Robert of course,  listed in prime
factored format.

Computer Graphics for Simulation (CGS’17) [Paper Track at the Summer
Computer Simulation Conference 2017]

TRACK OVERVIEW

Simulations can consist of focused physical simulations to complex
interconnected systems. Simulations can be used to produce 

numbers. Some simulations can produce theories of human behaviors. Other
simulations test security while others investigate 

industrial control. In some cases the result is just a number or statistic.
In many cases, the results are anthropomorphic. Many 

simulations use graphics to  present the results. Many simulations use
virtual objects to represent the input to simulations. In many 

cases, the simulation must be visualized to reveal useful patterns in
processes and models.

 

This paper track is designed to elicit papers that present novel results in
simulation interoperability and visualization. The paper  track focuses on
several topic areas. The General Computer Graphics topic area is designed to
solicit papers that apply state of the art graphics techniques and image
processing to visualizing simulation results and simulation virtual
environments. The Web3D / WebGL / HTML5 topic  area is designed to extract
from the research community, state of the art techniques for visualizing
distributed simulations. Many physically based simulations require solutions
of complex systems of equations that must have efficient computational grids
to produce realistic results with minimal computer resources. Simulation
methodologies for data acquisition 

Re: [osg-users] OSG SIGGRAPH was a TOTALLY Massively Success

[John Richardson]

Hello,

I'm the SIGGRAPH BOF moderator.

Let me see if I can dig them [Robert's slides] up and send them to you and
whomever else wants them.

Note: I will send you and Steve Satterfield, Prabhat's slides. He indicated
that the slides could be released. His slides are interesting because:
1) It is an actual case study of using OSG to create an android and iOS app.

 www.biodigital.com  is his company's website. 
Interested individuals can also go to youtube and type in Biodigital:-)
The app is on the Apple and android stores:-)
So, of particular interest to anyone just starting. The bottom  line seems
to be that Prabhat was able to stand up a development environment reasonably
easy. Troubleshoot any integration issues relatively efficiently and is able
to integrate the latest repository drops with minimum headaches for cross
platform app deployment.

So, it seems as though the guru's of OSG are producing top notch stuff with
a case study to prove it...:-)

If anyone wants this case study just email me off list. 

John

[osg-users] OSG SIGGRAPH was a TOTALLY Massively Success

[John Richardson]

Hello,

 

I like double adverbs..J.J

 

Roberts state of OSG slides were extraordinarily clear and concise and well
received.

 

Prabhat Godse from Biodigital  gave a very nice talk on an Anatomy app built
with OSG for 3D visualization.

   Nice app. Google or Bing for Biodigital.

   Great comments on using Xcode and compilers for Android and lessons
learned when building OSG based apps.

   "John: So, Prabhat, when 3.6 is released how easy will it be to build
and develop for?"

   "Prabhat: It will be so easy...J.J"

 

Then David Glenn [the lucky individual in Robert's slides being the talking
head for Robert's slides] gave Robert's slides on what is a next generation
scengraph going to look like. .J.J

 

Thanks to Robert, David and Prabhat.

 

Oh, and David had multicolored tape to tape down the power cords and had a
4K resolution projector. BOF setup was SO easy.J.J

 adapters and for moving the microphone switch to the “mic” position so 
 we could hear the PA.



 We used a nice screen provided by the Web3D consortium. Thanks to 
 David for bringing a white shower curtain and stage tape that was the 
 “PLAN B” if the Web3D screen was not available…J



 It was but David goes the extra mile. Will send Robert the pictures.



 Thanks to Steve Satterfield from NIST for his OSG presentation.



 Very well attended.



 IMHO the reason it is a popular BOF is that the OSG community is 
 active and vibrant. So, thanks to the people reading this post.

Subject: [osg-users] [osgPlugins] Cannot load WRL files

Hi,

I am trying to render models using the MATLAB 3D Model Renderer which wraps
OpenSceneGraph. It works well for .osg files but gives me error on every
other kind of of file, in particular .wrl which I need to be able to work
with textures.

I initially thought  that a plugin was missing but I am able to view the
.wrl files using the osgviewer.exe - so maybe that is not the problem.

Seeking enlightenment

Thank you!

Cheers,
Felix

If I'm in the US around the time of Siggraph then I'll try to make to
Siggraph.  Making the trip for just Siggraph would be a rather expensive
round trip to make from Scotland though.  Costs are similar to taking my
whole family on holiday for a week, I'm not sure they'd appreciate me
ditching them and going on my own geeky holiday while they all stay at home!

Hi,

I've built OSG 3.2.1 RC3 and am running on a MacBook Pro with a retina
display. I looked at previous posts and notices, and support for retina
displays was, in theory, part of the 3.2.1 RC2 release. However, I just
looked at my RC3 code, and the code that uses the devicePixelRatio is not
in src/osgQt/GraphicsWindowQt.cpp.

When I run my app on a retina display, I have the expected issue with only
displaying at half resolution, since it doesn't account for 2x pixel ratio.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

... 

Thank you!

Cheers,
Michael

I would also like to personally thank David Glenn for heroic feats of
Google+ Hangout support and for holding the karaoke microphone over the
laptop speaker during Robert's video presentation.

 

Jeff's presentation was excellent. The hangout presentation will become
famous in OSG history.. J

Two weeks until the SIGGRAPH OSG BOF.

 

Robert will be presenting via Google Hangouts [video chat].

 

There are still all physical slots available.

 

Note: If people wish to present remotely, since we will have Google hangouts
at the BOF, let me know.

 

Also, if there are some OSG people attending, the BOF has had a panel
scheduled every year, so that is a participation possibility.

Wednesday, 24 July 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM | Anaheim Convention Center - Room
202 B 

This session discusses the state of the OpenScenegraph open-source project.
OSG is a premiere system for Scenegraph and simulation visualization. Hear
the latest from the OSG community at SIGGRAPH 2013.

I will be there with a projector and a suite of connectors just waiting to
connect to your demo's or latest OSG project. I also bring chocolate.

 

Please note that for planning purposes it does help to have titles and
affiliations for my into slides.

[osg-users] 57 days till Siggraph 2013 [60 days till Openscenegraph BOF] and release of osgDisneyland

[John Richardson]

57 days - So says the Siggraph website

 

60 days - says the advanced program for BOF's. Good inexpensive hotels are
still available.

 

Option 1 for release of osgDisneyland

1)  Print the tee shirt

2)  Announce osgDisneyland

3)  Deliver in 2014

Note: This is similar to the Jello Equation paper accepted at a previous
SIGGRAPH and actually published in the paper proceedings.

 

OR [BETTER OPTION]

 

Option 2 for release of osgDisneyland

1)  Create Graphics for ride

2)  Make it spin or whatever

3)  Show it off at the BOF

Note: Feel free to include a mesh of your face on the front of the ride. J

 

PLAN B

1)  Just have oodles [American slang for many] of OSG researchers give
really amazingly fantastic cool lectures on how absolutely totally massively
useful OSG is at the BOF

2)  Three 20 minute slots or four 15 minute slots or five 12 minute
slots or combinations of the preceding

 

Historical Note: PLAN B usually materializes 10 to 20 days before SIGGRAPH
when people finally get their travel plans solidified. However,
osgDisneyland would require upfront planning. I can coordinate the logistics
but people might want to chime in early on off  list to me.

[osg-users] Siggraph 2012 OSG BOF Summary

[John Richardson]

Greetings and Salutations to the OSG community,

 

The SIGGRAPH 2012 OSG BOF was a resounding success.

 

Why

 

Because

1)  The presenters were excellent [thanks Luis, Alejandro, Eric, Art and
Robert]

They showed up [even for the pre BOF planning meeting on Monday], put up
with my jokes, were professional and most likely could all sing [see
below]...:) 

2)  The presentations were excellent [thanks Luis, Alejandro, Eric, Art
and Robert]

The quality of the research / applications presented was excellent. Luis
had a presentation in other BOF's. VICOMTECH [Luis / Tassilo and colleagues]
is a Spanish research consortium and will host next year's Web3D symposium.
Art, I believe had a paper accepted at SIGGRAPH which is very prestigious.
Some of Luis's colleagues had some posters at SIGGRAPH. Eric had some great
comments on OSG and video walls. Alejandro had an excellent presentation on
plate tectonics research at the National University of Mexico.

Luis's presentation also complemented a presentation by ESRI in the CG for
Simulation BOF. The crowd seemed enthused with Robert's DICOM and shadow and
scripting future for OSG.

 

An extremely impressive showing by the group of presenters. I really hit the
jackpot on presenters this year. [and previous years of course].

 

3)  The room was the same room that the SIGGRAPH educator's program used
on Monday Aug 6. Thus it had an industrial grade screen, projector and
professional sound system. It also had water bottles with the Los Angeles
Convention Center logo on the bottles for all the presenters.

I brought along a projector and Karaoke machine [powered microphone] and was
planning on singing while I presented Robert's slides. However, since the
A/V setup for the educator's was very loud and professional, I just spoke
Robert's slides using the supplied sound system. Hopefully, in a not quite
monotonic voice but with true feeling.

 

The goddess of OSG sound must have been protecting the BOF room.

 

4)  There was probably 50 people in the room. Maybe more.

5)  There were a few wish list features fantastically enunciated by
the crowd. I'll dig it up and send to Robert.

6)  The community. No matter where the BOF is held, the room always has
a good crowd. Pay attention to Art's presentation on the need for more forum
moderators and volunteers.

7)  I got a walking teapot from Pixar after the BOF.

 

There was no BOF scheduled after the OSG BOF. So, the presenters and true
believers had a bit of extra post BOF time to pontificate, mull, conduct
deep thoughts,.. I thought deep thoughts about singing but realized that I
left the Karaoke CD's at home. Bummer.

 

I'll send the presentations to Robert soon. All the presenters really wanted
their presentations posted and read by the community. So, have fun.

 

I have a few pictures that I will send to Robert to be posted.

 

Note: In a few weeks I may post some questions related to next year's BOF
for the community to consider [time, day,...]

[osg-users] OpenScenegraph Siggraph 2012 BOF second Call for Presentations

[John Richardson]

Greetings and Salutations,

The OpenScenegraph Siggraph 2012 BOF will be held in the Los Angeles 
Convention Center on 8 August 2012 at 10AM.

This is the second Call for Presentations [32 days until the BOF]

Highlight your work.
Show off your institution.
Hawk your consulting skills.

As long as it is OSG related. Step up now and be virtual.

Notes: Robert will get a default 10-15 minute slot to give a state of OSG 
report or whatever he wants to give and presented by whoever he designates. 
That leaves 3 15 minutes slots [more if we get enough presenters but no slot  
10 minutes]. First come first allocated. More time if less presenters.

Hi,

you could also use Xen as Virt technology. There you can pass through
hardware devices and also graphics adapter for exclusive usage in a VM. But
If you want to virtualize Windows you need a VT/Pacifica enabled CPU,
because Xen is a paravirt solution.

[osg-users] [Off Topic] General OpenGL / DirectX/3D troubleshooting strategy for virtual machines

[John Richardson]

Hello,

 

Apologies for the general off topic question but this is the only Linux 3-D
list I lurk on.

 

Configuration is a Windows XP box with 3 virtual Machines [1 Windows XP VM,
2 Linux VM's]. Google Earth works on the VM using OpenGL but I need it to
work using DirectX/3D. DirectX is installed but the VM reports that it
cannot be found. VMware Vsphere is most likely the VM generator. The goal is
for the VM to get access to the graphics card on the bare metal.

 

Any thoughts? Troubleshooting strategies?

 

John F. Richardson

Re: [osg-users] 3D models used in OSG ?

[John Richardson]

Hello,

The real question is how do you import models from commercial and open source 
packages into OSG and support for animations,

Others can chime in technically on this...

Yes, it does take artistic talent. However, your email is from Université 
Laval. So you have a perfect solution. Collaborate with the art department.

However, I will give a synopsis of my process. I am not an artist.

0) The first step is buying the Wang Rui book on OSG.
1) Acquire Blender.
2) Acquire one or more commercial systems with large numbers of example models 
with an acceptable reuse license.
Note: If your university has various numbers of 3-D modeling and animation 
systems take their various and sundry examples and export to VRML or COLLADA. 
Then examine their other export formats [File -- Export or whatever menu item 
does the trick]. The best of the proprietary formats are 3DS, LWO, OBJ. Now, 
when I say best or talk about VRML / X3D / COLLADA, I am talking about the file 
interoperability problem. These comments are just my philosophical workaround.

So, now you have a lot of scene components. Either arrange them in your modeler 
of choice [originally before export with an artist] or import the exported 
examples and arrange them [you don't need an artist since I can do this]. I 
suggest that you give them useful names and if possible, give them useful names 
at the nodes that you may be interested in accessing via OSG for your 
simulations. There is no more advice I can give at this point on naming. The 
Web3D people tried with the H-Anim standard and other profiles to X3D [See the 
Poser character animation system if the university has one]. The problem domain 
is huge and nobody seem to be able to make train loads of money on the solution 
so there is no satisfactory solution.

3) Turn your yourself or your programmer collaborators loose on the OSG coding 
for import and scene manipulation. The coders should know the process for 
compiling/downloading. You already know how to access this list for advice.

Also, note that there are lots of contributors to this list that can code if 
you have funding available [Guay, Hanson, Martz, Cigar, Osfield,insert 
name I left out here,...].

If your goal involves students, then I suggest that you approach the issue from 
a architectural perspective. There are a lot of architectural programs in the 
USD 50-150 range that export to VRML and probably 3DS and OBJ/LWO/DXF. These 
can be acquired at almost every Apple Store for the Mac and every Best Buy or 
Fry's or whatever giant Canadian electronics superstore is in your area for the 
PC [and possibly for the Mac] [Punch!;TurboCAD;...]. A nice city block or 
representation of Université Laval would be a starting point. Then just see if 
you can get a traffic or pedestrian simulation completed. This strategy is like 
using the iPhone's Siri [or Google Voice] as opposed to Dragon Naturally 
Speaking. The learning curve is a little bit easier. But DO NOT FORGET BLENDER 
[relatively steep learning curve]. The students need a portfolio.

Subject: [osg-users] 3D models used in OSG ?

Hi,

First, I am sorry if my questions seem naive, I am really a newbie in OSG/3D.

My question is about the 3D models used by both of you in OSG: 
- do you create your own 3D models yourselves with OSG ?
- or with other software like Blender, 3DS Max, Maya ?
- or do you buy or export free ones. Creating such 3D models needs artistic 
abilites and a lot of time, that's why my questionning ?

The next question is about the exportation between 3DS max (or Blender, 
whatover 3D modeler) to OSG: when exporting, for example, an animated 3D models 
from these 3D modelers, does OSG preserve these animations/texturing ? Or, all 
are lost and need to be redefined with OSG ?

Thank you!

Cheers,
Maia

Re: [osg-users] An Open Scene Graph solicitation has been posted on FedBizOpps

[John Richardson]

Hello,

The Problem [or bug or required enhancement]: A problem in this system has
been observed where parallel, multi-threaded applications do not scale
properly to multiple graphics cards resulting in low frame rates.

I believe that they may want an enhancement. They may also want a bug fix
since they used fix and the above uses the word problem. The statement of
work indicates that NIST tried to get a free fix out of the community but
could not. I assume that one task in their list [creation of a test bed] was
the reason for no free fix, since that test bed costs money.

Example [the following is a task]: .The vendor shall discuss the results
and proposed solution with the OSG community and come to a consensus as to
the best solution implementation.

This tells me that NIST wants some sort of warm fuzzy from the OSG community
but see my comment above on the free fix. This task already has a failure
mode. However, it does consider the issue of interoperability. Will the fix
be a best practices type of fix as judged by the OSG community? Will the fix
impact other OSG code? But also remember. Somebody is being paid and a task
is to get free comments on optimizing and validating the fix.

The real question is can the solicitation process be simplified. Is there a
way for entities to quickly focus funds similar to the way blender does it
[I remember a vague description of the process from Blender BOF's but the
process seems to exist]. See the phrase  Wow, so this. The key word is
Wow.

My comment on simplification is that NIST is very supportive of the OSG
community and wants the vendor to add the fix or enhancement back into the
OSG ecosystem. This is the perfect method to accelerate feature wish lists.
However, it is targeted for a specific host OS / GPU combination and is NOT
a general enhancement. Of course, the problem may not exist on Red Hat or
Fedora or Ubuntu [or insert Linux variant here] or Windows or Macintosh.
Can NIST prove that it does not exist on those platforms!

Some interesting notes: NIST anticipates that the fix will require 6
months including the required reports. That means 2 boring progress reports
in addition to the real documentation on the fix. Also, there is the
preparation time for the quotation. Simplification may be impossible since
NIST has to prove that it did not violate any laws [there are lots]. This is
a main reason for this post. Can anyone figure out how to simplify and still
satisfy rules and performance metrics?

Lastly, I believe that this is a positive opportunity and lots can be
learned. So, I suppose that NIST should be thanked. Also, apologies for the
bandwidth usage.

Re: [osg-users] SIGGRAPH 2011 OpenSceneGraph BOF

[John Richardson]

Hello Jean-Sébastien and David and Robert,

Thanks for presenting [Robert via Jean-Sébastien]. Yes, it was a standing
room only crowd.

Also thanks to Jean-Sébastien for talking at the Computer Graphics for
Simulation BOF that afternoon. There was a possibility that the webinar
[COMSOL multiphysics] I had arranged would experience technical difficulties
and lead to silent conversion of oxygen to carbon monoxide. However, the
webinar proceeded [Jean-Sébastien was able to decipher my speaker connection
drawing to correct acoustic connections].

Maybe a podcast next year..:)

The COMSOL multiphysics talk focused on hard core simulation on a small
scale [example: a room or small machine,...].

Jean-Sébastien's talk was a repeat [extended since he had more time] of the
Vortex simulation SDK and Robot simulations plus examples he talked about in
the OSG BOF. In the OSG BOF he focused more on OSG, OpenGL and compiling and
less on Vortex. This was simulation on a larger scale [a mine, vehicle
dynamics,...] than the standard COMSOL spatial domain. Just look over his
presentation on the wiki and imagine him talking more on the simulation part
of the talk in the OSG BOF. Vortex - check it out

I gave a short Simulation year in review talk that summarized some trends
in research from several simulation conferences. However, I would not have
been able to speak for an hour so thanks again Jean-Sébastien.

Macintosh Binaries from Alpha Pixel
The execute bit has to be set manually. Not a horrible issue. The package
also in some cases is a 7zip package so the Mac user has to have Stuffit
Deluxe or WinZip to extract. Perhaps a command line will extract. 7zip is
not on the Mac. Probably needs a tutorial on running the executables from
the terminal command line. We [Jean-Sébastien, David, me] could not figure
out the syntax for the command [path's to be set,,etc.].
