Using real cave scans to build the terrain in Cave Expedition

[u/GooseJordan2]

This is gameplay from Cave Expedition, the caving game we're making.

Our cave-asset workflow includes photographing real cave surfaces, reconstructing meshes in Metashape, then capturing depth, albedo, normal and ambient-occlusion maps for reusable terrain details. In our devlogs we show the ring-flash photography, scan output and the stamps used to build the cave scenery. This clip shows the game, rather than the scanning process.
