Texture size

[GrinGEO]

Im wondering if texture size can be choosen individual or if it has to be a multiplication of 4096....

can I choose to use a 8000 px or 6000 px texture as well?

Whats the difference between Orthofoto & Adaptive Orthofoto....?

Thanks for helping

Hello GrinGEO,

You can choose any value for the texture atlas size, not necessarily to use a degree of two, so 8000, 4321 and etc. would work.

As for the difference between Orthophoto and Adaptive Orthophoto mapping options, in the first case the texture atlas will contain only single block (in general case) of the orthomosaic that would be applied to the horizontal surfaces only, so all the vertical surfaces would be untextured (for example on the building walls the texture will be stretched).

The Adaptive orthophoto method will create separate charts for vertical and horizontal surfaces, so this option is better for urban areas, it is it necessary to build the texture for the walls as well.

ok I understand... so this means that for area scans / large area aerial mapping it is always better to use adaptive Orthofoto for urban and not use the general texture version (non orthofoto)

General Texture is more for 3D modeling, right?

Hello GrinGEO,

If there are mostly vertical and horizontal surfaces, then Adaptive Orthophoto methoud would be preferable. For general and complex surfaces it's better to use Generic option.
