what a... eh this can be infinite-k in my headcanon, with my total of 3k pixels. So here doesn't exist anymore, here I'm sitting on now. Is truly virtual... I pushed virtual like button in virtual place using virtual input. Awesome.

@REG-FROG now you have Pimax 5k+, how is it now ?

Thank you very much Prof. Awesome!
Unfortunately this whole place doesn't exist anymore, it's been demolished this year.
What a weird feeling to still be able to visit it in VR.... I can't wait to see it in better VR HMDs.

Also awesome work!

Holy crap I have so many questions haha, How did you create 40 x 8k textures in reality capture and keep the texture quality so high? I always struggle with UV maps and texture quality reaching anything over 60% in RC.

Also did you model one room at a time then splice everything together after in steam? I have some large projects for next year and wanted to get some experience here.

Thanks!

I love this space, so much to look at. Puts me in a good mood ;)

Thanks for the tips! I have to say I've only started quite recently, so I hope to improve in time ;)

I think one tip is: take as many photos as possible but keep the balance of photos throughout the place. And you kind of need to understand the algorythm in the software (photogrammetry in general) to know which photos you need. Photogrammetry is easy to learn but difficult to master. You will most likely learn even after years from doing it as a hobby. You will learn what works and what doesn't.

Thanks for the feedback regarding your PC specs. I didn't think it would work on a 970. This project really is packed full of big textures. But I've also had to spend quite some time to optimize without hurting visuals too much.

Kind regards, Frog :-D

By the way I'm also into photogrammetry (also using RealityCapture), and these kind of projects are exactly the reason I find the technique so interesting; old, worn-down, crumbling buildings like this, that just breathe atmosphere ;)

I did some shootings here and there, and found some really good tutorials and what-to-do's and dont's in Photogrammetry World. However what I cannot seem to find is a good tutorial of how to take the photo's, and then specifically from what positions and angles to take them. I've created some environments which were okay, but never so detailed as this one. So I was wondering if you have any tips concerning this?

Impressive work! The toilet section is specially impressive, very good detail on the floor of the left toilet. By the way this runs fine on my i5-3570 and GeForce GTX 970, if it helps for your analytical information ;)

found it this time, v nice

For this project I have been using a Nikon D3300 @ 18mm and 55mm.
And Reality Capture, as it is the best and fastest software available on the market.

idea sounds great, will try on sunday and give relevant feedback.

What camera do you use
What software do you use for post-processing

hello RED-FROG, I do have a Rift and have SteamVR setup already. I looked in the Home section where my other VR content like games are clearly visible, but I could not see your content anywhere whih is why I asked. I'll try again and see if I can find it.
RED-FROG  [author] 17 Aug, 2017 @ 2:32pm 
Hello neal, if you don't have one already, you need a VR headset that works with SteamVR to view this scene. You basically just launch SteamVR and enter SteamVR Home. Then you can browse the ingame menu for Metal Foundry to visit.
Thanks and enjoy!

I'm glad you like it Rectus and Dezzly. :D I have been hosting a room yesterday and it was fun to mess around. Lets hope SteamVR Home gets even more stuff to play with :-D

Really nice work! That's some great detail on the junk lying on the floor.
