Hi, I haven't heard any chatter of this on forums yet. I have just come across it so am curious if any other community members have also and their views. Sure,...
Hi Carlo, You may want to check out osgeo.org You can join the discussion lists and ask these types of questions to the group. If possible, let me know what...
Carlo, Here are some open-source applications: 1. uDig (udig.refractions.net) - very technical, lots of features 2. Quantum GIS (www.qgis.org) - easy to use,...
... Yes, it's been discussed for years... It's not a bad idea. There would still be an Enviro.xml, for everything besides the datapaths. The datapaths...
For those not aware of the OpenStreetMap project (OSM), it is an international bottom-up project to produce a free and open roadmap. You can see the map at...
Hello Group, I'm making a .vtst buiding file in VTBuilder from a GIS footprint shape file that contains the building's footprints. But when I open the vtst...
Luke, This can sometimes happen on footprints which have 4 or less vertices if the building is not quite rectangular, these are drawn using the simple roof ...
Roger, The footprints have 4 or more vertices, but I think I see the problem. My GIS coords for the building footprints are in feet, but VTBuilder thinks they...
Luke, I don't think that will affect it. The buildings will just be the wrong scale. The storey/floor height parameter is not used for felkel/straight skeleton...
I'm going to manange the setting of a demo of a big 3D model (DTM has 8m pixel and 60x50km extent) with enviro stereo viewing. We are going to rent a...
Alberto, I would expect that any Quadro card would work (but I haven't tried them); the important thing is to get a Quadro card as nVidia's GeForce cards do...
You can force most Geforce cards to act like quadro cards. Google for terms like rivatuner and softquadro. However a real out of the box quadro card is the...
Hi Roger, tell me more please: I have a NVidia 7950GT/HTDP 512MBDDRIII video card with out stereo output. Do you think I can use it with SoftQuadro or...
Roger, I've been trying for a few days to see if I can use a GeForce (6600 GT NV43 A4) card in page-fipping mode with OpenGL apps. So far I've tried: 1....
I have made the quadro hack work on ge2 and ge3 cards very nicely. I don't know about ge4, looking at Brent's comment on this thread it would appear that...
Hello, Is it possible to export the entire Enviro generated terrain+roads+content, etc. to an osg or other 3D format? The "Export to osg" doesn't seem to...
Hi, we are currently implementing a OSG class that will load any terrain that was resampled with vtBuilder. This is, say, 80% finished, and we expect it to be...
VTP exports everything apart from heightfield geometry. As Stefan pointed out this is rendered directly in raw OpenGL primitives by VTP. It appears in OSG as a...
Hello, I've got a dem coverage for a large area (100km^2) in 10m resolution. For a few regions it is however necessary to have a very precise elevation grid...
Stefan, Within certain limits, you can use a tileset to do what you want. When you give the command 'Optimized Resample Elevation to Tileset', it will not...
For those people building VTP from SVN, here are two recent changes to the dependencies in use: 1. In VTBuilder, we're using a few more methods in QuikGrid....
Hi folks, For the past 7 years, the VTP has included a small set of demo data, most notably the big island of Hawai'i, which is derived from USGS DEM and a...
Hi there, ... A shaded 25m GeoTiff would probably suffice, but won't have the blockiness and a much smaller size. ... Without supplying normal maps, there is...
I have uploaded a new VTP release. For people who installed from the Windows installers, you can un-install and re-install from the download folder. For...
Hi Ben, Just how do I download the windows installer? I don't see a link, and in the files section of the newsgroup it's not listed either. ... From: Ben...
Thanks for a great new release Ben! I noticed that the VTConvert.exe looks for gdal14.dll but the actual file name is gdal14-vc8.dll. Maybe just forgot to...
