Mount Williamson by Ansel Adams. The inspiration.
MetaShape - 300x 4k images from Google earth - Medium dense point cloud - *If I set it to high after a day my machine just freezes lol.
Houdini - geoTIFF - way larger than what I need.
Crop out Mount Williamson.
Transform back to center. And Modify menu - Move pivot to center.
Then scale up to match reality - and arbitrary move TY back down to zero. ***Nope got it wrong see later posts.
Now trying to line up MetaShape geo with my scaled geoTIFF terrain.
Aligned - geoTIFF has more verticality than the google earth point cloud geo.
Finally a Ansel camera match and lineup just on the Metashape geo
