Hi you can try it with the exported pdf. Sadly Acrobat reader can't handle big 3D files, so you will have to test out if it is possible with your datasets.

I had the same question about my PC, found some links that maybe can help you too.

I think the main difference between my and you work is I only have 15 pictures while you have 252. I found some interesting links about the amount of pictures, precision/quality, and what is asks from your PC.

Maybe it helps top eliminate some duplicate pictures, or similar angles.

Sadly I am still not happy with the result I think it is a bit to blurry.

If I send you the .psx file are you able to open it and see my project? (in the Attachment)

Hii thank you both for the answers. I bought extra RAM, I now have 2x HyperX 16 GB DDR4-2133. The Align, dense Cloud and Mesh step goes so much faster now.

Looking at your taskmanager I am a bit surprised. What is holding back your CPU? Why is it not at 100%?
It seems it is not shortage of memory.
Can open the resource manager and find a clue there?

And open GPU-Z to get an idea of what your graphic card is doing.

Don't really know why it didn't use the whole 100%, that's why I was a bit reluctant to buy extra RAM. However it seemed to help.

I added some new screenshots.

General / Hardware upgrades for faster results?

« on: April 07, 2017, 12:46:03 AM »

Hi everyone,

I need some help deciding if some hardware upgrades an fasten up some of the processes.

Current specs:

CPU: Intel® Core i5-6500, 3,2 GHz (3,6 GHz Turbo Boost) socket 1151
   +Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GT OC 3 GB (GDDR5, 192 bit)
RAM: HyperX 16 GB DDR4-2133 Kit, (HX421C14FB2K2/16, Fury Black, XMP)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-B150-HD3P
SSD: HyperX FURY, 120 GB (Serial ATA/600, MLC)
HDD: WD Blue, 1 TB (SATA 600, WD10EZEX)

Agisoft: Pro (64bit) 1.3.1

36 photo's (7MB each)
Align: accuracy high, key point limit 4,000,000 , Tie point 0 (30 min)
Build Dense Cloud: Ultra High, depth filtering disabled (took less than an hour)
Build Mesh: Arbitrary, dens cloud, face count high (11,759,464), extrapolated -> Took more than 4 hours
Export Pdf: around 1 hour to create, Acrobat reader fails: 3D parsing error

Does anyone have advice for a possible upgrade? Which part is the most important to upgrade?
Budget: <600

Goal of project: precise measurements in an osteoarchaeological context.
