I've never heard of "photogrammetry". Is that good or bad? Does it mean we all need MOAR hardware power? And what IS photogrammetry basically...?From the monthly report: "Alongside Gamescom and 2.5 release, we spent some time investigating photogrammetry and working with the environment team on the procedural planet tech."
Photogrammetry is responsible for the ridiculously beautiful graphics from BF1, Battlefront and Ethan Carther, which are, in my opinion, close if not identical to real CGI quality as seen in the movies.

This tech will take SC graphics, especially those required in PG, really higher, and make previous CR statement "Crysis quality level" (can't remember the exact words he said) obsolete.
