Expanding on the subject of mixing 2D and 3D graphics to create advanced simulation environments, I wrote an article for Military Embedded Systems magazine that was published in their October 2009 issue.

If you noticed that my posts have become less active in the last month, it is primarily due to my involvement in the preparation of the various technical demonstrations that we will be showing at our  booth during the exhibition.

Good times and great weather are headed our way! Then it arrives from the Marketing team. An invitation to the first IITSEC planning meeting! Only 6 months until the big show! Time to get to work! I/ITSEC 2009 2009-11-23T13:47:06+00:00 http://www.presagis.com/resources/blogs/entry/aiimplant_streaming/ http://www.presagis.com/resources/blogs/entry/aiimplant_streaming/#When:19:28:32Z Back in May, I talked about the Multi-Edge Meta-Connection functionality that was introduced in AI.implant 5.4 to allow large terrain databases or virtual worlds to be divided into tiles that get stitched together at runtime in order to provide smooth navigation of large worlds. This enabling technology was key to the creation of the Terra Vista AI.implant output compiler and allowed users to start building large worlds for their simulation of intelligent characters.

Between choosing the right anti-aliasing mode, selecting the correct texture clamp mode, forcing mipmaps or not, and deciding if the application should always use vertical sync, getting the right performance out of a good video card for a specific application can sometimes become a process of trial and error.

With the release of VAPS XT 3.1, the Presagis HMI design software offers a 2D Digital Map solution which integrates with the General Dynamics' SoftMap solution.

No matter how nice and detailed a 3D model or terrain database is, its final look on-screen in a visual simulation will be largely driven by the quality of the Image Generation environment in which that model is rendered.
