Here are the options I've used: | |||
./bin/osgdem --geocentric -t /home/stuart/FlightGear/VPB/data/CORINE/u2018_clc2018_v2020_20u1_raster100m/DATA/U2018_CLC2018_V2020_20u1.tif -d /home/stuart/FlightGear/VPB/data/SRTM90/srtm_36_01.tif -e -5 54 -2 56 --PagedLOD -l 5 --RGB-24 -o foo.osgb | |||
* --geocentric because that's what FG uses | |||
* --PagedLOD to generate PagedLOD nodes | |||
* -l 5 the number of LOD levels to generate | |||
* -t the texture to drape (in this case CORINE) | |||
* -d the DEM to use (in this case a piece of SRTM90) | |||
* -e is the extents in decimal degrees: LON1 LAT1 LON2 LAT2 | |||
* --RGB-24 to user an RGB output texture | |||
* -o is the output file, in this case native OSG binary format. | |||
