COVER

VR renderer for immersive environments

More Information

This module will create a new desktop window, but can also be configured to output to multi-wall immersive projections driven by a cluster. Almost any visualization workflow will require an instance of COVER. Please consult the introductory documentation for a usage guide.

Parameters

name	description	type
optimize_indices	optimize geometry indices for better GPU vertex cache utilization	Int
indexed_geometry	build indexed geometry, if useful	Int
num_primitives	number of primitives to process before splitting into multiple geodes	Int

Supported Renderer Parameters

name	description	type
render_mode	Render on which nodes? (LocalOnly, MasterOnly, AllRanks, LocalShmLeader, AllShmLeaders)	Int
objects_per_frame	Max. no. of objects to load between calls to render	Int
_use_geometry_cache	whether to try to cache geometry for re-use in subsequent timesteps	Int
