It's not, I've just been away for a while
I've been redoing the data structure holding the vertex data, but I can't seem to find a feasible option to a having huge vertex buffer, and giving each quad tree node to have only pointers to the vertex data.
I've been toying with the idea of implementing geometry clipmaps instead of dynamic tessellation, any thoughts or preferences on that?

Did You take a look at saigumis seamless world tutorial? Maybe this could give You some ideas. I'd like to see a PageingLandscape in Irrlicht

What are geometry clipmaps?
Looking forward to see some screenshots

btw: i got a mail from a guy (from Drexel Uni USA), he wrote he works at a terrain engine for irrlicht, if i could help. I wrote back: Yes, how can i help?
No answer. Sometimes its absurdly...

yes the last lifesign was in June...
If its dead, why dont we make it together (with the same licence like Irrlicht) ?
First we would have to decide which algorithm:
http://vterrain.org/LOD/Papers/index.html
And we would need someone who hosts the project probably with a CVS.
I would like to help

i searched for a good terrain-engine on
http://vterrain.org,
i found Stefan Roettgers terrainengine libmini. vterrain.org says:
"libMini by Stefan Röttger - implements his paper Real-Time Generation of Continuous Levels of Detail for Height Fields
LGPL source, highly optimized, 5 bytes/heixel, very fast"
I translate it with: " Quick and Cool !".
Normally it draws with OPENGL, but it also has a stubengine inside, where the user
has to write some interface-functions and the user can draw with other things.
I wrote the interface for Irrlicht.
Look in the "FAQs and Howto"-section of the forum for
"How to use the terrain engine libmini with Irrlicht "

the v0.2 of the FaceOfMars-Demo for terrainengine libmini with Irrlicht is online (with source).
