FLIGHTGEAR PHOTOREALISTIC SCENERY FULL

We can easily fit man-made landclasses into the rest of the scenery in a plausible way.

FLIGHTGEAR PHOTOREALISTIC SCENERY FULL

We get full control over how the transitions between landclasses look like.By avoiding any mesh subdivisions due to landclasses, the mesh vertex count can be cut (drastically?).Generating an image seems to be much easier than vectorizing complex data structures.

The idea is that we move away from vectorized landclasses and encode the information on landclasses in a raster-image (i.e. by moving them to fgdata space:Īs of mid 2016, this is revamped by increasing interest in coming up with texture-based landclass representations: Using the Canvas system for adding geo-referenced textures to the terrain mesh has actually a plethora of potential applications and use-cases in FlightGear, and it could help unify/integrate a number of existing features, and make them much better accessible, i.e. Howto:Extending Canvas to support MathGL.Howto:Extending Canvas to support rendering 3D models.Howto:Use a Camera View in an Instrument.Unifying the 2D rendering backend via canvas.Howto:Project 3D to 2D coordinates on desktop canvas.Howto:Using raster images and nested canvases.Howto:Canvas applications as Nasal submodules.Howto:Creating fullscreen Canvas applications.Howto:Parsing 2D Instruments using the Canvas.Howto:Add a 2D canvas instrument to your aircraft.Howto:Dynamic Liveries via Canvas (new).Howto:Creating a Canvas GUI dialog file (New).Howto:Adding a canvas to a GUI dialog (PUI!).Canvas FAQs - frequently asked questions.Canvas Efforts - projects using the Canvas system.Shiva Alternatives - ongoing work for Core Profile support.Canvas News - for the latest developments.
