VTP Enviro

Enviro is the VTP runtime environment.  It provides an interactive, realtime 3D navigation of your virtual terrain.  There are two primary view modes: Earth and Terrain.  At startup, you chose which view you want to start with, and you can switch at any time.

Earth View

• viewing the planet from space
• navigate and zoom
• displays the extents of each known terrain area, click to enter
• more features: toggle sunlight, display point data, trace shortest-path geodesic arcs

Terrain View

• loads all the elements of the scene: elevation data, ground textures, roads, buildings, vegetation, vehicles, etc. composed by the VTP toolbox applications
• lets you walk or fly around
• interaction currently includes:
  • browsing the scene graph
  • changing the camera and rendering settings
  • changing the terrain detail level
  • adding and trees
  • adding fences
  • moving and editing buildings
  • save changes to vegetation and structures
• Enviro's Mouse Navigation is easy to learn
• if there is anything you'd like to able to do with Enviro that it doesn't yet do, let us know!

Enviro binaries, source, and demo data are available as part of the full VTP distribution, which is freely available.
