Quote from: David on April 03, 2021, 10:06:06 AMSorry, there's still something I'm not understanding here. Are you wanting to export a landscape mesh out of Terragen? If so I think that is possible with Terragen 4. Or are you hoping to use Terragen renders as images for photogrammetry? If so that sounds like a lengthy business.
Regarding shadows, no, you don't need them for successful photogrammetry so long as there is good colour texture information that isn't a single flat overall colour.
Yes you can export mesh from Terragen.
The problem is with texturing the same way.
There are different methods for getting this of course like Ortho rendering, front projection etc.
This thread is kinda an extension from 1-2 other threads about this.
I don't care so much about texturing (still would be great of course) exactly as it is in Terragen.
But Jordan (Was) wants an exact detailed texture as it is in Terragen.
That is the real reason for this thread actually. I thought if this would be a temporary solution.
If we could get the mesh exported with the textures directly from Terragen as it is, this thread would be only for fun mostly.
I think Matt will bring this in another update most probably. But we don't know when, if it happens at all of course.
Good to know that shadows aren't a problem.
