Having 3-dimensional pages i.e. space instead of terrain?

Hi everyone,

I need develop a tool to visualize vast 3D structures - billions of simple objects aligned in a 3-dimensional grid.
However, the PagedGeometry plugin only breaks the scene in 2 dimensions (pages in the X-Z-plane).
In my case, such a page would still hold far to much geometry since it spans thousands of objects in the Y-dimension.

Would it be feasible to modify the plugin in a way that it works with true 3-dimenstional pages - or is there a plugin that already does this?

Any clues on how to tackle this?

Cheers,

rev

Depending on what you want to do maybe you could use Ogre's paging system, without paged geometry. I don't really know how complicated could it be to modify paged geometry. You could try another approach and have different paged geometries for each level, and disable them manually or something.
