Dear all,
I would like some advice please.
I want to visualise some 3D terrain models. This is likely to include some
rotation, zooming in, development of fly-throughs and later, addition of
textures to make the scenes more 'life-like'. I have built the DEM from UK
Ordnance Survey (the UK's national mapping organisation) data and I have
draped raster files over the top (several big TIF files).
Currently I am using ArcScene to enable my visualisation, but there seem to
be limits to the program. Part of the problem is that my graphics card is
unable to cope with the data volumes, but the process of developing
fly-throughs seems to be quite long-winded (export of individual scenes to
another software package etc.) and adding textures is, as far as know,
impossible.
I am limited to using ArcGIS for our GIS processing, but we have some money
available to buy visualisation software. Does anybody have any thoughts,
experiences, comments on visulisation software of GIS data.
Many thanks in advance
John
