Howdy all

I am using OSG for generating synthetic environments for AI agents. The one I am working on in particular flies over water, so using osgOcean seems to be the right choice here.

I have two views: one that chases the vehicle and one that is taken from the vehicle's payload (pan-tilt-zoom camera).

I have a third context, a pbuffer, that is assigned to a camera slaved with the pan-tilt-zoom camera, so that I can easily ship the pixelbuffer to CPU space where the AI processes the images (according to what the pan-tilt-zoom camera sees).

I have an issue though: for some reason the ocean scenery is not rendered in the pbuffer but I do see it in my chase view and in my pan-tilt-zoom view (to which my off screen camera is slaved). I just get the default blueish-purpleish background (my pixel data is 33f33f33f33f33f....) in the saved images.

However, if instead of the ocean scene I use a terrain loaded from a terrapage database, I am actually able to render the scene in my pbuffer.

Does anybody know of an issue with rendering osgOcean off-screen?

Also, I had to force my pan-tilt-zoom viewer to single threaded, because otherwise it didn't work (Windows Error #170: [Screen #0] GraphicsWindowWin32::makeCurrentImplementation() - Unable to set current OpenGL rendering context. Reason: The requested resource is in use.).

My system: Intel Core i7 CPU Q820, 8GB, Windows 7 (service pack1) NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800M and using latest release version of OSG.



Thank you!

Cheers,
bart

Hi Bart,

This is a fairly specialised use case for osgOcean and wasn't really considered in the initial design. osgOcean uses a custom cull traversal within ocean scene which controls all of the prerender and postrender passes. I fear that it may be this cull traversal that is messing up your pbuffer context.


Take a look at the code in OceanScene in particular the cull traversal, maybe you'll be able to figure out a solution from that.


Regards,


K.

Hi K

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.

I noticed that when I disable all shader based features, I am able to render it off screen (more or less). It looks like most of the special effects that depends on shaders are for underwater scenes which I am not using anyways.


Cheers

Hi Bart,


The problematic ones are 

The cross hatch glare on the ocean surface
Depth of field and lens distortion
God rays
.. I think that's it.


All of which use pre and post render passes.


Regards,


Kim.
