Detailed Description

Spline PVS Toolkit for RenderWare.

RtSplinePVS Toolkit Overview

Requirements

Overview

This toolkit provides facilities for generating PVS data using a spline for a world.

The RpPVS plugin generates PVS data for a world by taking samples from within the boundaries of the world sector's bounding box. For some worlds, this is not necessary.

An example is a racetrack where movement is limited to the track and the world is modelled around the track and is not fully complete. Such a world would contain geometry that would be visible from the track only with the rest of the world not modelled.

In such a scenario, PVS samples should be also taken from along track.

The RtSplPVS toolkit allows samples to be taken from just the along the spline. This reduces the number of samples taken and also generate PVS data more suited to such worlds.
