[osg-users] OpenSceneGraph for driving simulation framework?

[Per Nordqvist]

Hi Florian. I second Chris, OSG won't let you down on speed.
Here at Volvo (trucks) we have been using OSG in our driving simulator for
10 years, no plans
of switching. Several others are also using OSG in their driving simulators.

Still you have a lot of work in front of you, it is a dream system you are
sketching.
You can easily spend 2-3 years just tweaking your moving platform - so make
sure you have the
right research questions before coming up with solutions.

Across the river here in Gothenburg sits Electronic Arts, they create Need
For Speed.
To get the graphics they use ~5 people full time in Maya - hand painting
the roads and scenes.

When creating our graphics we use Maya, 3ds, Blender & Remo3d (OSG based).
We also purchase models from turbosquid etc.

Feel free to contact me directly for non-OSG simulator discussions.

Cheers,

/Per Nordqvist
