CameraFlight - osgEarth Camera Transitions
Milestones
- Create menu for plugin with algorithm submenu; checkbox entries: instant, satellite, airplane
- Create submenu with list of destinations; for starters just use two destinations to switch between (eg, UCSD and China)
- Implement instant switching: switch to destination position immediately without transition
- Implement satellite mode: like Google Earth's transition mode, ~10 seconds for transition, make this time value configurable in CalVR's configuration file
- Make sure that the transition's duration is time dependent, not dependent on number of frames rendered
- Come up with math/functions for camera height and for angular motion of camera (=rotation of planet)
- Implement camera path
- Implement airplane mode
