[osg-users] Terrain Center and Size/Extent (TXP, LoD)

[Robert Osfield]

Hi John,

The txp database itself will determine the default distances at with
the LOD's will transistion, this including the furthest distance
objects can be seen.

You can bias the distances that LOD transition by using the
Camera::setLODScale(scale)  method.

In general txp databases are built for decade+ old hardware so tends
to be very conservative w.r.t LOD scales, so often you'll be able to
use LODScale to get better visuals without loosing 60Hz.

Robert.

Could I set the maximum distance to "x" and override some other default?  What determines the point at which the terrain is not being loaded at distance?
