Python and Java API / Re: New Split in Chunks script

« on: September 04, 2015, 11:24:03 AM »

Hi Community,

here is the modified script for the prerelease version 1.2.

There is a bug in the prerelease that after aligning und merging the chunks the 3d model did not show points/face count.
Also if you generate textures for every model in each chunk, after merging the button for displaying the textured model in the merged chunk is not available.

Cheers

Python and Java API / New Split in Chunks script

« on: September 03, 2015, 11:21:40 PM »

Hello Community,

I modified the 'split in chunks.py' script and added two new features:

- now it is possible to split the region into X * Y * Z chunks instead of X * Y only.
- include a threshold (%) for overlaping the chunks regions

Background of modifying was that i use a low end 32bit PC with little RAM and wanted a high resolution model. Now i have an option to build X * Y * Z chunks and build a dense point cloud of about 2mio per chunk, generate mesh and put at maximum a 4096 pix texture on every part of the model per chunk.

This generates a very high resolution model with high resolution texture after merging the chunks into one model.

In the 'old' script merging results in a merged chunk without a model or cloud. I fixed it with aligning the chunks before. This aligning i added into script and after merging it works.

I put in the threshold option, because after merging the model, there were little gaps between the model parts.

Options:

The hardcoded options in the script are:

Aligning with camera matching

Quality = Medium & Filtering = Aggressive for dense point cloud generation

and

Surface = Arbitrary, Interpolation = Disabled & Face-Count = 0 for mesh building.

If you run the script from the custom menu there are two additional Spinboxes in the settings window.
The usual for X and Y splitting the third for Z splitting and the fourth for the threshold value in percentage.

I hope to help anyone with this modification.

Happy moddeling
