Hi, I was trying to implement distributed rendering. I did manged to enable syncing object positions each frame, but when it comes to particle effects things are getting messy. Here is what i came across:
Think of a distributed rendering system with 2 machines. Each of them are displaying half of the plane (Cessnafire.osg). When one wing has a particle smoke effect, it does not continue to other rendering machine.I think it is because cull system on the other macine does not insantiate particle effect when it is out of frustum. It maybe correct for single renderings but in multiple ones, this is not normal. Is there a way to overcome this problem like: 1- Can we just draw smoke parts that intersected with our second frustum? I mean even if the first particles are not getting drawn which are originating from the source , can we draw older aged particles? (Prefered one, only draw smoke parts that is in the viewing frustum of the second machine) 2-Can we just activate particle even if it is not in the view frusta (Not recommended maybe? Performance issues). [img]http://i1104.hizliresim.com/2011/4/21/2633.bmp[/img] Thank you!
