We'll have to have newer laserscanning for the most iconic race track soon
Except that they state @4m into the video that the (in)famous bump in that section will be removed, so the track will feel different.Nah, the section is less than 2km long and as he said there wont be any changes made to the track itself. Just fresh tarmac!
This could be achieved if there was a scanned model managed by the track owner or someone else, accessible to the creator of the game. The game would not include its own track model, but only the interpretation of such a model.... (I would love to see it in my lifetime, just from the technical aspect of it, ....
Actually scan produces point clouds not a topological mesh. It is the job of 3d modellers to recreate the track according to the taken scan data.Every scan produces topological mesh.
Track owners are greedy enough to continue asking huge money for the track licenses. While the money flows I see no reason for them to worry about unifying track models for game developers. For them it would be unnecessary waste of money.To unify models of the same track would be next point of interest of track owners. They are aware of increasing power of simracing and it is not their welfare to listen that their track is more realistic in one simulation than in the other one.
