Bring the Real World into SceneCast
PhotoMesh is now part of the SceneCast solution package, enabling a complete end-to-end workflow from drone survey to simulation-ready terrain
From Drone Imagery to Mission-Ready Terrain
OneArc’s SceneCast now ships with Skyline PhotoMesh as an integrated component, giving operators a seamless photogrammetry pipeline directly within the SceneCast solution package.
01
Drone Data Capture
Operators fly UAV/drone missions over the area of interest, capturing overlapping imagery from multiple angles.
02
PhotoMesh Processing
PhotoMesh converts the overlapping imagery into accurate, high-resolution 3D mesh models using photogrammetry — on the SceneCast laptop, in the field.
03
Mantle Terrain Conversion
OneArc’s Mantle software processes the 3D mesh into simulation-ready terrain and exports to all major simulation formats.
04
Mission Planning & Rehearsal
Terrain loads directly into VBS4 and other sim environments. Troops train and rehearse missions in a realistic virtual replica of the actual AO.

What PhotoMesh Delivers
Speed at the Tactical Edge
PhotoMesh enables rapid turnaround from data capture to simulation-ready terrain. It can operate efficiently on standard GPUs or scale across multiple cores & machines, enabling hundreds of fuser machines to process tens of square kilometers per day.
Survey-Grade 3D Fidelity
PhotoMesh generates a full-3D mesh model that faithfully reproduces even small-scale details such as cars, trees, fences, and walls - all with advanced color balancing and high-quality texturing.
Massive Scale Processing
PhotoMesh is designed to handle city-scale and country-scale datasets, enabling large-area simulations without compromising performance.
Reduced Cost & Manual Effort
Eliminate the need for manual 3D modeling by leveraging automated workflows on local machines, remote servers, and the cloud, reducing both production time and operational cost.
Multi-Format Data Output
Through the Mantle pipeline, PhotoMesh meshes can be exported to VBS4, standard IG formats, OBJ, DAE, and other simulation-ready formats - ensuring compatibility across the customer's existing toolchain.
Single Solution, Single Point of Contact
PhotoMesh is provided as part of OneArc's global reseller agreement, eliminating the need for a separate vendor relationship. Its output integrates directly into SceneCast pipelines, supporting efficient ingestion, streaming, and visualization within simulation scenarios.
Range of supported output formats ensures maximum interoperability with other 2D/3D GIS solutions
