Hello Agisoft Friends,
I have been testing the capabilities of Photoscan Pro using the trial license, and am considering buying multiple licenses for my company. I am very happy with your product, and I find it far superior to all other comparable platforms, however there is one major setback that I hope someone here can help me work around. Then I know I can commit to purchasing licenses.
I work with esri products and I inquired to them about how their platforms read .slpk files. I found that ArcGIS Pro is reading from the contained .jpeg textures, while ArcGIS Online (AGO) is reading the compressed textures from the dds file.
I need the tiled model to be compatible with AGO and their I3s specifications that require compressed textures to contain pyramids. As far as I can see, the main problem is that the .slpks' associated dds file has the dxt texture file, but is missing the pyramids for the texture, and once the slpk file is created there is no way to create the pyramids after that.
Am I correct? Is there an option or setting that allows the .slpk export to include pyramids?
(Please see google drive link to the .slpk file in question and screenshots of the problem below)
It is a situation when I try and add the .slpk file to "My Scene" in AGO . (See Attachment)
I opened the same file in ArcGis Pro, and was able to view it and it displayed very nicely as a 3D map, however when I load it into AGO the resulting model is very strange looking, built with irregular shaped polygons, and the surface (texture) is a repeating image collage from a section of the model. The location is correct, the "measure" tool is giving accurate measurements and the shape of features in the model are accurate ( for example the shape of the farm is clearly identifiable: See attachment) so it appears there is no problem with the geographic elements of the file.
Any thoughts?
Is there a foreseeable fix for this?
