Detailed Description

Frustum culling and LOD management.

This class is used to cull instances based on their transformation matrix. It was designed to improve performances when there is large number of instances in vtkOpenGLGlyph3DMapper.

Each instance is tested on the GPU through vertex shader to know if it is inside of the frustum view. If it is, the distance to the camera is computed to select and send to the geometry shader the corresponding LOD index. The geometry shader register the instance to the corresponding vertex stream and therefore the corresponding transform feedback buffer in video memory.

Warning: GL_ARB_gpu_shader5 extension is required.

vtkNew<vtkOpenGLInstanceCulling> culling;
vtkIdType nbInstances = 1000000;
// buffer of size 16*nbInstances containing transform matrices.
vtkOpenGLBufferObject* bufferMatrix = ...;
// buffer of size 4*nbInstances containing color buffer to pass through.
vtkOpenGLBufferObject* bufferColor = ...;
// Initialize LODs
culling->InitLOD(polydata); // LOD0 : full geometry
culling->AddLOD(2.0, 0.5); // LOD1 : after 2.0, 50% triangles
culling->AddLOD(5.0, 0.99); // LOD2 : after 5.0, 1% triangles
// Build shader and binds
culling->BuildCullingShaders(ren, actor, nbInstances);
culling->RunCullingShaders(nbInstances, bufferMatrix, bufferColor);
// Get number of instances in LOD 0
int nbInstInLOD0 = culling->GetLOD(0).NumberOfInstances;
// Get VBO and IBO of LOD 1
vtkOpenGLBufferObject* VBO1 = culling->GetLOD(1).PositionVBO;
vtkOpenGLBufferObject* IBO1 = culling->GetLOD(1).IBO;
// Get instances buffer of LOD 2
// buffer is interleaved [ transformMatrix0 color0 transformMatrix1 color1 ... ]
vtkOpenGLBufferObject* buffer2 = culling->GetLODBuffer(2);
