Hi, I would like to use the VTP for 3D bulding reconstruction from GIS data(2D building footprint). I have no experience in the VTP and also GIS data ...
... I believe you can do this in VTBuilder. You need only supply the footprint, and a desired number of stories of height. ... Well, the source code is all...
Hi Listers-- I am working on visualizing southern oak-pine forests and was wondering if there might be a (free) set of 3D tree and/or understory models I could...

... Are you certain you want to use 3D Trees? The polygon count in the scene will rise dramatically if you do, and framerates will drop proportionally. It...
All, What is the most elaborate example of VTP usage available? What example has Trees, Buildings, Streets, Navigation with Geographics Cordinates, etc? Peace...
Hi simahao, I looked into the problem. I found it is: the font. Currently Enviro is hard-coded to look for "Fonts/Arial.ttf" on the VTP data paths. This...
Adam, Thanks for pointing out Arboro; it actually wasn't on the VTP site yet, and it looks interesting. I've added it now. To me, the main advantage of a tool...
David, Sadly, all the most elaborate examples of VTP usage can't be shown. They are internal projects at companies and institutions that aren't allowed to ...
... The Plant Studio enables you to use its output/result if you register it - which is free - as the website states: "The new free registration code for...
Indeed it would be nice if we could find a way to incremmentally increase the veg. database. I know USDA has a lot of species they've developed for FVS. I...

... This was my point to David in my original reply. Polygonal tree models are invariably too weighty for realtime use unless they are decimated to the point...
... Do you have a source for this? I wasn't aware of the USDA having a library of their own, and if there is such a thing, I'd like to point some USFS people I...
Ben, That would be nice. Bag up the Tree Design Tool, Nature Scene, Geographics with Waypoints, Navigation, and put that all in a public distribution. That...
Ben, How about a "Call" to all on this Forum to submit whatever is missing (Legally Submit) so you can Package that up into a public Distribution? I mean.. I'm...
Hi Eric-- Right, sorry, I meant SVS, not FVS (although I believe the latter draws to some extent on the former?). In any case, their web site is: ...

David, It's a fine idea, creating some glue between the VTP and commercial plant libraries. It could be as straightforward as a single species.xml file which...

... Cool idea Ben. What did you use to do this, and are the WRS-2 tiles available online? I assume that the SRTM data was also reprojected? SRTM data is in...
