Fix photogrammetry bridges so that they are not "solid" underneath (2020)
Photogrammetry is great. However, there is a problem with bridges in photogrammetry areas where the bridges are not only solid, but they look solid underneath. They have the appearance of a wall across the water. I don’t know if this is fixable as presumably it relates to how photogrammetry works, but can we see if the visual look of photogrammetry bridges can be changed so that they at least appear as though they are not solid walls underneath? Here is a couple of comparisons from the latest U...
It’s a product of bridges built using photogrametric data instead of hand crafted or autogen models. Oh very informational although that begs the question that, if an aftermarket developer like the author of that tutorial figured out how to make the cars go on the bridge, why didn’t the people from Asobo adding the bridges to Glen Canyon Dam and Hoover Dam do the same thing. That engine knows where bodies of water are and would also know that in a short span a road dropped suddenly down a canyon wall and then went back up.
