[osg-users] View Frustrum Culling

[Viggo Løvli]

Hi Kaiser,
 
I have just done parts of what you need.
Make yourself a group node which you place as the root of the scene-graph that you need to list objects from.
Override it's traverse function and post process the cull-visitor:
 
void yourGroupClass::traverse( osg::NodeVisitor& nv )
{
    osg::Group::traverse( nv );
 
    if( nv.getVisitorType() == osg::NodeVisitor::CULL_VISITOR )
    {
        osgUtil::CullVisitor* cv = dynamic_cast<osgUtil::CullVisitor*>( &nv );
        if( cv )
        {
            // Do your stuff here
            // You should be able to find what you need inside cv->RenderStage->RenderBinList...
            // The cull-traverse is done, so everything that is visible must be stored in the render-bins.
            // I am pretty sure you should be able to find some information in these structures which points you to your objects.
        }
    }
}Cheers,
Viggo

Hello everyone, 
Maybe it sounds basic. I have camera that will never change place. I have a database with one Object/onFile-Mapping. So next time I load my Scene id like to load only relevant Objects to shorten Loading time.
Simple Task: I need to get a list of all VISIBLE Objects in the ViewFrustrum. Can this be done with the cull-Traverser. The docs say it collects all the objects in a special order. Are these objects all objects in the end or only the visible? How can I get the visbile Nodes? What things are to be taken care of? 
Greetings?
