create a 3D mini map
So....
My lab needs to visualize a DEM(height map) with water information over the map on Hololens, so people can have a 3D overview on the map when wearing their gear.
This is my first time working with unity3D. I did some research on the thing I'm working on. I know we can import heightmap into a terrain, however, the terrain is too big and I can not change the resolution so that we do not lose the information. Then I can not create a sky view(or overview) for people to look at the 3D terrain.
My current solution is using point clouds to visualize the height map, it looks great, however, I could not add water effect over the cloud points, and the memory is consumed heavily.
Are there any assets I can directly use from the store that I can visualize my geoscience data set. Or anybody can give me some hint
look for the asset mesh terrain. it's free and converts height maps into meshes with the size you want and the vertex density you want. it's also cheap in rendering with just one drawcall.
Thank you I will take a look see how it works
