Tons of VFX and game content "shortcut" strategies like this require lots of cleanup however - even very good 3D photogrammetry scans are probably going to need to be manipulated (even if they look visually great) from an artistic point of view. The whole point is shortcutting and cutting time off the artists table. Lidar does not really give you anything that you can directly use out of the box but it does give you a huge leg up with perspective, sizing, etc etc.

Certainly not a silver bullet but it seems like it could be a huge time saver in certain scenarious
