Grebeni - Photogrammetry test in DCS World

UA-cam compression doesn't really do it justice, the textures are sharper ingame

Last week I saw a video of a developer show off his Photogrammetry demo of Asseto Corsa Driving Simulator for a street track of his neighbourhood. During that demo, all I could think of was it possible to do the same in DCS World...... Thanks Eight Ball.. Very nice...

[@getsideways7257]

Indeed, that video was pretty impressive (and this one is too). Here's hope we'll be getting more advanced methods based on deep learning soon.

NICE STUFF DUDE!! Very Coool

[@herrlogan17]

Looks absolutely amazing. Dcs will be wonderful with this.

[@JinxxDcs]

looking good

[@berserker6341]

Hey stunning mod!!

[@EightBall]

Thanks!

[@cerealex3499]

Should be amazing a tutorial of how to implement photogrammetry to DCS!!

[@EightBall]

I recommend watching Grajo's tutorials: ua-cam.com/video/SYvr_GLR2AE/v-deo.html

[@TheKenji2221]

Basically what MSFS did but in DCS. That's truly great

[@jorgemartinezmartinez4939]

Hey Eight Ball, outstanding work!! I'm in possesion of a Pix4D Mapper license and photogrammetry is one of my passions. The other is flying in DCS World. I would like to add 3D content created by myself to DCS World but no idea of how I can start doing it. Is there any documentation or link you may share? I can also help with processing.

[@EightBall]

Hi Jorgen I highly recommend watching Grajo's tutorials for converting your objects to edm format and importing them into DCS: ua-cam.com/video/SYvr_GLR2AE/v-deo.html
You can contact me on the forums if you need help, I've added a link to my thread in the video description

[@jorgemartinezmartinez4939]

@@EightBall Thank you so much, I’ll take a look immediately.

[@lolmao500]

We need to do photogrammetry of planes at a ww2 museum or something.

[@hawkertyphoon4537]

The oldest Combat flight Sim i used was CFS2.
This is positively BONKERS.
Holy Ship.

[@getsideways7257]

Nice to see people bringing reasonable stuff into DCS and not attempting to recreate "a yet another F-22". Great job!
But what's with that weird duplicate cyclic?

[@MeliokFR]

Nice ! Is the island a map or a static object ?

[@EightBall]

Thanks, it's a static object

[@MonostripeZebra]

that looks pretty cool.. how is the collisions on the complex rock shapes?

[@EightBall]

Hi Zebra, the collision mesh was indeed tricky. The mesh of the original model is just to complex for DCS to handle so I hand to simplify it.

The picture might be a bit confusing, the larger triangles represent the collision mesh, the smaller ones are from the model itself.
It's not a perfect match but it's the best I could do for now. The mesh for the man made parts (the lighthouse, walls, etc) was handmade and I tried to be as accurate as possible

[@MonostripeZebra]

@@EightBall Awesome work. What a nice slingloading place!

[@diewont]

Mate damn that looks good. Are you in VR?... Does the MH6 support sling loading?

[@EightBall]

Thank you. I'm in 2D and unfortunately no, no sling loading for the MH-6 =/

[@diewont]

@@EightBall Oh damn, Have you tried VR? It's absolutely incredible for helicopter simulations :)

[@_google_user_]

WEOW

[@diprotodon_5379]

I mean, I could play an FPS with that.
