@VCat2006 that's called reality. and the goal of games is to replicate reality but without the consequences of error, making them risk free. if you prefer the straight line vectors, you've probably been playing CS too much

[VCat2006]

@lexichronicle2 Perfectly angled vectors versus chipped and bumpy walls?

[lexichronicle2]

@VCat2006 no they don't

[VCat2006]

@lexichronicle2 Blueprints still scale better, though.

@SrkiNeca You're a laser noob, it's not meant to be a laser projection. It's the model generated by a laser scanner that can measure distances over a precisely defined XY grid (vista). they've used it to scan that building in real life, then pulled all the data out to draw the model. Leica sell the scanners and they cost tens of thousands for just the basics. as they say in the video, there are 15.5 million individual, unique points in that model, so it's very accurate; can't do that by hand

.....THIS is COMPUTER ANIMATION!!!!....this is not real laser....computer animation!!........

[SrkiNeca]

....HOW TO DO THIS!!!?

Wow.. Gotta love those laz0rz

[DeathDude72]

That's no model.. that's a scan of the real thing.

[putzamoale99]

hey what did you use to make the model ??
