Hello,
I'd want to use the openstreetmaps data (just the roads) directly in V-Rep for rendering by using the OpenGL API, , I'm very new to V-Rep, Is there a plugin which already does this? If it doesn't then can I directly call the OpenGL routines from V-Rep? Any help is greatly appreciated. The final aim is to create an entire Traffic Simulator on top of V-Rep.
Thank you.

Hello,
you could simply render the graphics yourself inside of a plugin, but I do not recommend this for following reasons:

you could simply render the graphics yourself inside of a plugin, but I do not recommend this for following reasons:
- The rendering engine of V-REP will probably change within 1-2 years. If you render something from within a plugin, then this functionality will very probably not be supported anymore at that time.
- You won't be able to use the various functionalities upon your rendered elements, such as distance calculations, collision detections, proximity sensor detection, etc.
Cheers
