vsgEarth - osgEarth on the VSG Vulkan Scene Graph

vsgEarth is a prototype of osgEarth that renders using Vulkan and the Vulkan Scene Graph (VSG). Instead of than being a complete reimplementation of osgEarth, it uses the map layers of osgEarth as data sources for creating a VSG scene graph.

Status:

The vsgEarth library parses osgEarth ".earth" files. It can render multiple image layers and an elevation layer, using a simple lighting model, from the supported osgEarth sources. The canonical ReadyMap example works well.

A sample program, voe_globe, provides a simple-yet-familiar interface.

vsgEarth has been tested on Linux.

Prerequisites:

These packages come with their own prerequisites, of course, so you will need to install them too.

vsgEarth is Free Open Source Software distributed under the LGPL.
