Hi Guys, I also want to create the moon model for my project. But I am not able to find any data sources till now. Glenn, can you tell me the source of the imagery you have used for generating the terrain. Are there any free data sources for the moon imagery ? RJ Alejandro Aguilar Sierra wrote:

-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Osfield The pole looks weird. Is there any way to fix it? Poles are little bit awkward to fix with the simple quad tree approach used by the OSG (and many other whole whole techniques.)

Hi Robert: It's not my intention to jump into a new scheme, but using current vpb algorithms, it should be possible to do a few adaptations to better deal with spherical terrains, that's all. Ok I will wait until there is a minimal set of documents about vpb at the wiki, next month. Regards,

Hi Alejandro, VPB developed focused on earth data, so --geocentric automatically sets up the earth sizes, so I guess this is probably where things go adrift. I haven't personally worked with non earth data yet, but it should be possible to add better accounting of non earth data, although I

Hi Alejandro, The GDAL error that is produced suggests that you are trying to apply a transform to the data when the data doesn't have an geocentric infomation associated with it - which boils down to it can't transform data when it doesn't know what coordinate system it's starting off in. You
