[osg-users] Dynamical loading of resources

[Sebastian Messerschmidt]

Hi Joachim,

> I am new to OSG, this is my first post to the forum (hello, guys :)!). I was wondering how to perform out-of core handling of the 3D resources I intent to render. Its not possible for me to load everything and then start rendering, i need to constantly load new parts of the environment and unload geometry that is out of view.
That is where PagedLOD comes into play. It allows for background loading 
of tiles.

See the osgPagedLod example for reference.
If you need a resolution-pyramid approach, VPB(VirtualPlanetBuilder) can 
generate multiscale data for paging from various sources.
Sorry for just giving you pointers, but a short answer might be better 
than none ;-)
