[osg-users] A noob question: Can OSG do this?
Hello, I've made an OpenGL application of considerable size and now I am exploring possibilities to display its results on a stereoscopic wall. Particularly, I will be let to try this on a VR system that is in possession of Technical University Sofia, in Bulgaria. As the machine they use a cluster, where the master PC is connected to two rendering slaves. Slaves project the stereoscopic image to the wall with two beamers. Right now I cannot say more about this cluster, but I hope you could still tell me if it should be possible to control this cluster through OSG. I would also appreciate tips on how to get started, since I have no previous experience with OSG. :) Today I had look at few pieces of code. Thank you in advance for taking interest in this topic. :) ++ -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=15611#15611 ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org

Thank you in advance for taking interest in this topic. :) Hi, Michael, OSG has certainly been used for cluster rendering, but it doesn't have any specific features explicitly designed for cluster rendering. Take a look at the osgcluster example to get an idea of how you might approach it. The other thing you mentioned is that you already have a sizable OpenGL application that you want to run on the cluster. OSG is a scene graph API that sits on top of OpenGL and uses it to do its rendering. This means you'll have to port your application to use OSG. Porting from straight OpenGL to OSG is certainly possible, but it'll take some work. --"J" ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org

Hi, Jason And thank you very much for that answer. Now I got the picture of what OSG is. I will have look at the example you mentioned today or tomorrow. Should it prove to be a too large piece of work to do, I always have option to write the needed application extension from scratch. :) M ++ -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=15626#15626 ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org

Also see here, not specifically for stereo, but for distributed opengl. http://www.equalizergraphics.com/ jp Michael Angelkovich wrote: Hi, Jason And thank you very much for that answer.
