Next Generation Context Models

Communication of ideas often requires 3D context models that are not just accurate but also instantly recognisable. Next Generation Context Models of as-built environments are textured, with all main architectural features 3D modelled yet with light geometry so the 3D model can be used in interactive applications.

This animation illustrates various stages of upgrading Level 3 model to fully textured Level 4 model. Level 3 model was captured using aerial stereo photogrammetry, facade detail and textures were captured using terrestrial photogrammetry. Final animation & renders were produced in Unreal Engine 4.
