If you want to deliver 3D textures mesh and True ortho, you need to process 2 times the project and as the software is quite slow, it is unmanageable in terms of delivery time. Why not allowing to process both at the same time, or to extract from mesh a True-ortho?
Interesting. The support has never answered this way. We will test it. For sure for edition, it is not suitable.
By the way, the edition module is currently not efficient because too slow because it computes on the fly the ortho of the patch. It works when you do not have a lot of patched to produce, but when you have several hundreds patches to cerrect (like removing cars on roads) it is not effeicient. For this, the strategy of Metashape is really better: MS computes for each images the orthophoto. Thus, when drawing a correction patch, you display immediately the image you want to select. Once you measured all patches, you mosaic corrections. I would say, it is more than 5 times faster in MS. A significant improvement could be brought here.
Hello,
It is already possible to produce a true ortho from the 3D reconstruction. This is not the prefered pipeline for true orthomosaic generation but it is possible. look for ortho/DSM in the production list in a 3D reconstruction. After you processed a mesh, producing the orthomosaics via this route is really fast because it is derived from the 3D reconstruction. If you want specific tools for the orthomosaic production, like retouching, specific formats, etc. than the 2.5D reconstruction is recommended.
Thanks,
