Title: Texture vs. Orthophoto
Post by: florian on January 19, 2010, 05:58:23 AM
Is there any users that see any benefits using a textured mesh rather than an picture mapped by orthophoto on a mesh?

Thanks

Maybe I do not get the question, but a texture is applying a multitude of colors to a single triangle. In PolyWorks, IMTexture will remaps the point colors to a texture and reapply the colors as a texture rather than point colors after compression the polygonal model.

Is orthophoto colors on points or a texture applied to triangles?
