Hi,

It depends of memory! You can make summer only photo scenery. Your input map from which the photo tiles will be made should have the a similar resolution to 4.8m/p.

Say you want to make 100 x 100 photo tiles. The bitmap should be (more or less) 25600 x 25600 pixels. This will be about 660 MB bitmap. You need a lot of memory and SB will be slow.

But you can divide your 100x100 photo scenery in smaller projects.

Hi Louis;

thanks for that !

what i like to ask - as the photorealistic process - works well in sb - i cecked out your 1.2 m pixel message - i think you are using a different version of sb - to get that results -

is that sb version available or is a forthcoming version ?

i ask that - because my version stop at Grid Lod 13 and i can see you have up to Lod 16.

Hi,

Yes I added some more grids to help to work with higher resolutions. As soon as I terminate this feature I will upload it.
