[@Bonyoze]

Thanks for showing off my map :) It's the first GMod map I ever made so I thought it would be funny to do something weird I didn't make any of the textures or models aside from the one used for the panorama to display on, they were all from the original 3d tour site and I converted them so they could be used in GMod. Making the actual BSP so you could walk around in it took the most time since I never used the Hammer Editor before.

According to Know Your Meme, the place was under investigation for a fencing operation since 2010.

[@SysOpQueen]

The house used to make this map was 8800 Blue Lick Rd, Louisville Kentucky. It was originally a church built in the 1950's with the 2 larger portions added later, when it was also converted into a christian schoolhouse. It was actually still a church until around 2011 when it was purchased by Tony Curtis to be used as a home & storage space for his business. He purchased wares in bulk from places like flea markets and resold them on ebay and amazon for profit. The images used to make the panoramas were taken in October 2020, and took the photographer over 3 hours. The chonk of a cat is named Loco, and the strange bathtub was converted from a baptism tub.

Satellites used it back in 1957, and in 1999 it became more available online. However, it being used to make 3D models was as early as 2008. I do assume Necros means 3D models, so that's 2008, but it's still fairly old technology. 2 years difference between Gmod's release, and this tech. However, I know a lot of people feel that that's not actually old.

Photogrammetry has gotten really popular in the past couple of years but it’s been around for a really long time. My teacher has been doing photogrammetry for possibly 2 decades now. I saw this scan was put together fairly recently though. Also it’s possible to get the scans to look better it’s just that you would need a lot more photos at different angles to make it happen and you would need to do some touch up work to make every look nice and get imported into gmod with little issue. Would be dope to see that be done some day. Awesome video yo! It was so cool seeing something like this in gmod.

Then do it. Improve the 3D portion of this map and upload it.

@@lucyferos205 For this specific map? It would probably take months of work for a single little artist like me 😅 Not to mention that it would also be extremely heavy for a Gmod map. I just wanted to point out how much 3D art has advanced in the recent years and how exciting it really is! :D

That is an SNES cartridge, pretty sure it’s “Spider Man and X Men in Arcade’s Revenge” (I remember seeing it in better detail on the original website. This place was an Amazon private seller house that was ran by two brothers. They also had listings on EBay and other selling websites. Last time I looked into everything, one of the brothers health was failing and that’s why they were selling the place. They also got a lot of the stuff in the place from it “falling off of a truck” if you know what I mean. A lot of it was salvage and the like, as well. Doing the virtual tour of this place back in the day was so fascinating.

Scanned rooms that can be freely explored without blur or distortion have already been created (see Varjo's example rooms) but require extensive multiangle LIDAR photogrammetry.

This reminds me of the game The Getaway. At the time, I was absolutely blown away by the graphics. Definitely a sleeper hit in my book.

I loved The Getaway! I live close to London so it was awesome to see a digital virtual representation of it in a video game. Some of the photorealistic portions of that game were definitely mind-blowing.

Photogrammetry has been used for some time now for games, so not exactly new. For example, the new Battlefront games utilize scanned rock and environment assets that use shaders with mesh distance blending so they blend into the ground and other assets when intersecting. Even some of the character art was scanned where they would dress up mannequins with clone or empire equipment, clean up the mesh, and then add it to the armor base. EA/DICE has done this a lot. Resident Evil 6 did some cool stuff as well. Quixel Megascans assets recently showcased for Unreal 5 are all scanned from world data, and pretty much free to use now since Epic bought them out. In games like Death Stranding, actor's faces are scanned for the characters they perform. Mesh is cleaned up, remeshed for optimization, and motion performance is mapped to the game face. You can probably rip a lot of scanned museums and places off Sketchfab even and put those into Gmod. Just takes some effort like this map author has mentioned to create collision BSPs so players don't fall out of the map or clip into the environment.
