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...
... There's even more cool stuff coming in the next release! :) ... As far as i can tell, VTConvert isn't in the installer, so i assume you got it from the...
I'm finding that CManager is unable to load OBJ format models that have previously been loaded and saved. I can add a new model and set it up as necessary....
Some further investigation using another PC is leading me to suspect the problems I'm seeing are associated with the PC I have VTP installed on. Pending my...
One of the changes in the last release (2007-11-11) is that VTP's datapaths are no longer stored in Enviro.xml. They are now stored in a separate file in a...
I'll be away from my office for over 2 weeks, from Dec. 2 - 19. My wife and i are visiting Taiwan to attend her brother's wedding. In addition to family...
Hi Ben I tried to save a animation to disk as a series of images and unfortunatly they don't show up in the selected directory. I can see that somthing is ...
Hi again I just found the problem, I was using a swedish Ö in the search path and Enviro did not like that. I wonder where the images went, to some temp ...
Ben and all, For those Macophiles out there... Since VTP updated to OSG 2.0, I have been unsuccessful at building a working native Enviro binary for OSX. The...
Fredrik, Thanks for reporting it. I found the issue and applied a fix, Ö in the path (or any character in any language) works now. Generally speaking, given...
I've been asked to pack in a DVD the VTP setup plus data for an Enviro project to be copied and setup by unexperienced users. Any advices? I think I should use...
Alberto, We used INNO to package up an Enviro derivative (we called it Pathfinder) with some sample data a couple of years ago. I don't recall any specific...
... As you have probably noticed, InnoSetup is used by the VTP distribution itself; you'll find the .iss files in the VTP source in the 'Installers' folder....
I have been experimenting with some high resolution (12.5cm per pixel) aerial photography and trying to build a tiled 6k by 8k terrain which will show the...
Hi, the problem is paging from disk with high tile count. The pager is not yet optimized for a high number of tiles. This is why the frame rate is low when...
Hi Stefan, Thanks for the quick response. One thing still puzzles me though. I tried a test in which I just loaded the terrain, moved the camera down to its...
I'm a new user, outputting to VTP from Visual Nature Studio. I'm impressed with Enviro so far, but I have a small problem in that I can't seem to turn off the...
... Thanks to Marco for a reply off-list - I had missed the "background colour" option under the Ephemeris tab, and just assumed that what I was seeing was the...
Hi, ... It's probably both CPU and GPU that is limiting the frame rate. There is huge number of texture switches for a the number of tiles that you have per...
Stefan, I will spend a little time today seeing if I can hack up an inf file to get the instrumented driver working on this laptop, if it works I will sned you...
Hi Roger, thanks for doing some real world tests, I am looking forward to getting to know the results. ... I am currently doing that :). I am implementing what...
Hmmm, One thing I wonder about where textures are concerned is the difference between two possible measures of the LOD distance. That is 1. where the camera is...
... IMHO, 1. is the only one that counts. If you change texture resolution depending on the viewing direction (and not only the eye point) then even a slight...
