How to get highly tiled output (like 3D Capture option) from 3D Model input?

Hello all!

I am noticing a significant difference in the tiling output of meshes depending on the selection here:
cseium-tiling-options

I need the tiling output from the “3D Capture” option, but I need the more robust materials (PBR) from the “3D Model” option. How can I get the best of both worlds? Our datasets need PBR-like materials but they are quite dense and need to be tiled more efficiently (more tiles per mesh).

Perhaps we need to preprocess the meshes a bit and separate them into more parts before uploading? Or is there some setting that I am not aware of during the upload?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Our current 3D Capture tiling pipeline does not support the ability to retain PBR information. But this is a feature we are considering adding in the future. We have tracked this request in an issue but don’t have an estimate on the timeframe.

Thanks,
