Hi,

i want to get the visibility from a point on terrain and change the color of the visible area.
To get the visibility I presume we have to calculate line of sight intersections in every direction. or is there any other procedure in osg?

Thank you!

Cheers,
imran

Hi Imran,

Have a look at the osginterstion example.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the reply.

osgSim is taking a very long time to compute intersections. where as osg::LineIntersection produces quick results.
Is OsgSim more accurate ? ?
I am trying to find the terrain height by projecting a ray on to the terrain and getting the first intersection ( front) point.

Thank you!

Cheers,
Imran

The osgSim utilities use
osgUtil::IntersectionVistor/LineSegmentIntersection under the hood,
the only difference is that the osgSim utilities have support for
reading paged tiles from disk to make sure they get the highest level
of detail. Is it that you are using a paged database?

Hi,

Yeah. My terrain database is developed from VPB. It has more than one Levels.
I understand osgSim is taking more time as it goes to highest level of detail.

Thank you for the explanation.
