/** Impostor - is a form of Level Of Detail group node which allows both switching
|
|
* between children depending on distance from eye point and image caching.
|
|
*
|
|
* The principle behind Imposters is that they cache an image of real geometry and then the image is drawn
|
|
* in subsequent frames instead of the real geometry. It's a bit like a
|
|
* Billboard *but* is updated at runtime and w.r.t view point. By drawing
|
|
* just the texture mapped quad you can cut down scene complexity and
|
|
* improve performance.
|
|
*
|
|
* For more details have a look at:
|
|
*
|
|
* http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/hic/
|
|
*
|
|
* The OSG doesn't implement exactly the same technique as above, but its
|
|
* should be a good starting place. The OSG's impostors are much less
|
|
* intrusive since you don't need to restructure your whole scene to use
|
|
* them.
|
|
*
|
|
* All you need to do to use Impostors is to set up the visible
|
|
* range values for each LOD child of the Impostor, as per osg::LOD,
|
|
* and set an Impostor threshold to tell the renderer at what distance
|
|
* the Impostor's image caching should cut in. The osg::CullVisitor
|
|
* automatically handles all the setting of pre-rendering stages to
|
|
* calculate the required ImpostorSprites (which encapsulates the image
|
|
* cache and quad), and updates them as the view point changes. If you
|
|
* use osg::SceneView/CullVisitor all the complexity of supporting
|
|
* Impostor will be nicely hidden away.
|
|
*
|
|
* TODO:
|
|
* Various improvements are planned for the Impostor-
|
|
* 1) Estimation of how many frames an ImpostorSprite will be reused, if
|
|
* it won't be used more often than a minimum threshold then do not create
|
|
* ImpostorSprite - use the real geometry.
|
|
* 2) Sharing of texture memory between ImpostorSprites.
|
|
* 3) Simple 3D geometry for ImpostorSprite's rather than Billboarding.
|
|
* 4) Shrinking of the ImpostorSprite size to more closely fit the underlying
|
|
* geometry.
