osgEarth has a VPB driver: https://github.com/gwaldron/osgearth/blob/master/src/osgEarthDrivers/vpb/ReaderWriterVPB.cpp I've not used it in as long as I can remember, but I think it could be used to insert VPB-built .osg/.ive/.osgb files into osgEarth as terrain layers. It's not placed using a "m

Figured it out... On a side note, can I point to the osgb terrain database files from within an .earth file? I've not see anything that covers that, unless, in this case, the osgb file(s) are considered a "model". The database for the osgb format includes a sub-directory named ...\dbtest_root_

You can, if you want, hook in a pseudoloader that intercepts ALL calls to load .osgb files and snoops on them to see if they are terrain tiles, and if they are, you can on the fly add buildings and models and vegetation to the scene. This way, the accessories page in and out with the terrain. It's

Is it performing more to your liking using the OSG/IVE format? For future-proofing you should probably consider using the osgb format as OSG/IVE are deprecated now. On Mon, Jun 3, 2019 at 8:27 PM Steven Jones wrote: > Thanks Chris - I am relatively certain I can use all the luck I can get... >

Chris, Robert, The crunching completed - osgdem generated 103,830 .ive files total, and the resolution now matches what is rendered in an .earth file. The last file generated was dbtest_L11_X667_Y251_subtile.ive. CDBs can have a max LOD of 23 (centimeter resolution). Next step is to add the 3D

It sounds like osgdem's idea of 'levels' may not correspond to CDB's, and increasing the number os osgdem levels may be the right solution. I don't think osgdem ever generates "too many" levels -- the "levels" option simply limits how far it is allowed to go. So, if you really want ALL detail from

Update... With the LOD level set to 8, osgdem generated approx 1,600 .ive files. With the value set to 99, it's been crunching for over 2 hours, and it's up to 38,000+ .ive files and is still crunching. The latest .ive file to be created is dbtest_L9_X255_Y63_subtile.ive. The imagery files (4

Chris, The imagery files are delineated (in sub-directories) as L00 through L08, elevation through L04. Originally all were part of a CDB database. I'm assuming that, per current CDB standards, this would indicate up to an LOD of 08, unless I'm mistaken... I can change it to "99", per some of

I've noticed that there is a rather large difference in the resolution of the terrain when rendered in OSG using different methods. For example, when I view a terrain database in the .earth format, the resolution of the terrain is very noticeably higher than the resolution of the terrain in bot
