OSM is expected to grow steadily in the future.http://www.aj-productions.de/fsdeveloper/category.php5?category=Vector+Data#entry_OpenStreetMapVector Data / DatasetsMulti-layer volumetric clouds demo and video. [IMO] Looks nice.http://www.aj-productions.de/fsdeveloper/category.php5?category=Clouds#entry_Volumetric+Clouds+IIIClouds / ResourcesFrom the website: "VideoTrace is a system for interactively generating realistic 3D models of objects from video—models that might be inserted into a video game, a simulation environment, or another video sequence.". [IMO] Must see the video! This technology could become a key aspect in the creation of a digital globe with actual 3D objects placed on it. Unfortunately, I suspect the technology won't be inexpensive.http://www.aj-productions.de/fsdeveloper/category.php5?category=Terrain+Coverage+and+Autogen#entry_VideoTraceTerrain Coverage and Autogen / PapersState-of-the-art real time cloud rendering research. [IMO] Breathtaking...http://www.aj-productions.de/fsdeveloper/category.php5?category=Clouds#entry_Real-time+Clouds+Rendering+ResearchClouds / PapersSome implementation experiences of land cover datasets in a flight simulator project. [IMO] Shares my experiences with this type of dataset. From his blog: "... but for some reason there is an offset in the land cover texture... I suspect this is because the texture mapping uses some sort of odd mapping... which is not the same as the one that's used for the satellite images..." - interesting.http://www.aj-productions.de/fsdeveloper/category.php5?category=Terrain+Coverage+and+Autogen#entry_Land+Cover+in+Flight+Simulator+ProjectTerrain Coverage and Autogen / HintsI have removed the shoutbox of this website because of spam.
