3d model of Power Station
Hi, I am flying a Hydroelectric station next week to create a 3d model. It is quite a complicated structure with with different heights / elements etc. Mavic 3T using Dronelink to plan, and WebODM or Hammer to process. Here is the location - Shannon hydroelectric scheme https://maps.app.goo.gl/jht8G9tbbqbaSJ8e8?g_st=ic Has anyone any advice / tips for flying such a structure ? Current plan would be Nadir at 76/80 meters with Gimble tilt of -75, then inward spiral orbit with POI and 2 second shots , and then a run of Manual shots in awkward locations . Any advice or approach insights would be helpful

Hey Stephane,
Thanks for the reply, yes I have watched loads on stuff online about improving quality of 3d models , and I know it’s half art / half science, I am
More interested in people’s perspective on the power station itself and possible approach from people
Hunter 3d, one thing to think about it isn't just the flight settings that effect the final model, its also the settings you use in the processing of the images.
I generaly fly a couple of grids, the first Nadir shots taken from Dronelinks default height of 285 feet, then I drop down 100 feet and fly an identical grid but this time i raise the the gimbal to -65 deg, both grids i use front and side overlaps of 80%
Thanks All. Flying Weds this week so will let you know how I get on.
