Wingnut Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Niiiiiiice. There's a saying... "A picture is worth a thousand words". Well, that "tour of the refrigerator" scene... uses about 6700 pictures in its textures. So, that scene is worth about 6.7 million words. Wow!

Thierry Mil Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 @Wingut The fact that I use "a lot" of textures is nice but acquisition of texture is now fairly simple : camera or Smartphone. I mean any standard person could do it. Now the fact that the '3D-couple" meaning Hardwair+babylon can cope with such a volume of pixels just still amazed me ! You know these "tour of refregirator scene" was buildt 3 years ago for a PC targeting a java+java3D API player. It did work ... on my good computer. But I was at the limit of my PC. I could feel heat coming out of the ventilation ! Today the same scene, with the same texture amount, works well with todays middle range Smartphones... It just amazed me. Graphic card on Smarphone are so good now. And BabylonJs just runs ok with no heekup on those small hardware. After all a Smartphone is 1/10 of the size of a Computer.

Thierry Mil Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 For me Smartphone is the direction of computing for consomation. In this regard BabaylonJS is the future of 3D API because it runs in any OS and any Navigator. And babylon JS is both simple to program and lean on execution. Cheers to the team !

ozRocker Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 This is cool! Its like the "indoors" extension of Google maps. I hope in the future every building could be visited like this Wingnut and Thierry Mil 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Mil Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 @ozRocker YEs I agree. But an "indoor google map" (or let's say indoor Bing Map ... hello Microsoft :-) ) has two sides : 1) The player. Thanks to babylonJs and a bit of my javascript coding it's ... done [I am sweeting here] 2) The '3D' scanner. To scann the geometry + textures of the rooms.... Not there yet. The future is too scan rooms and generate the javascript to the Player. But beliebe me, this is a VERY VERY VERY hard problem. I have been working on this too, since a long time. Some sucess. But boy is it hard. Everything is in small details, but BIG problems. And to complicate all, I only work on WE for the moments... you know to get founding in France, it is not like USA....

ozRocker Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Yes, this looks like a hard problem. I can't imagine how one would automate mapping the photos to polygons. I work with 3D scanners and they do this by scanning everything, but the result is too big and filesize is massive. Its not practical. I think this method is more practical. I hope you get funding for this project Thierry Mil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Mil Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 For information I did correct a few glitches from the Internet sites and compatibility with Firefox and Edge on the 'Full-screen' mode. Everything works 100% now. So now The "tour of Paris Old-Fridge building" works also on a Smartphone on Firefox, Safari and Edge (and of course still on Chrome). And of course it still works on any PC or Macintosh. Thierry GameMonetize 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
