Hi there,
I currently work on a patch visualizing NMEA GPS data. The longitude and latitude coordinates are processed to mercator projection X/Y coordinates. That coordinates plus the GPS height are interpolated using the B-Spline node to add some vertices and smoothing the curves. The width of the path is relative to the GPS speed. The camera movement is in realtime and generated by the LookAt node.
Here is a very early rendering of what I want to achieve: http://www.vimeo.com/950201 (720p HD @ vimeo.com)
But I still want to improve the camera flight behaviour. Are there any similar projects, that come into you mind (inspiration)?
How do you like this version? What sucks, what is nice?
Thanks for the feedback,
