Feature Requests / Add "Delete" function to the Gradual Selection UI

« on: March 19, 2021, 04:31:00 PM »

I find the amount of steps and clicks it takes to prune my sparse cloud using the gradual selection tool one of the most tedious part of my workflow.  What would be awesome is a DELETE button right there in the Gradual Selection UI so you could simply step through the different types of selection and delete points as you go vs having to select, close, delete, open gradual selection again, repeat. etc.

Feature Requests / UI Suggestion - Buttons vs Dropdowns

« on: March 19, 2021, 04:28:28 PM »

I find that the change a few years back to Dropdowns for things like selection and translation modes is very counterproductive when it comes to working fast.  Yes, it looks all pretty...but the amount of time and clicks it takes to switch between modes is MUCH more cumbersome than simply clicking on a single icon in the toolbar.  There's a LOT of empty space along the top of the UI so it's not the the dropdowns avoid over-crowding.  To me it seems like a cosmetic choice for UX jollies vs really thinking about how it impacts the users how have to click on these buttons hundreds of times a day.  Anyone else agree?

Feature Requests / Option to show all selection and transform icons (No Drop-Down Menus)

« on: September 07, 2018, 02:42:20 AM »

Although the new drop-down menus for selection and transform modes LOOK great, it was much quicker to be able to click on the desired icon.  Now you have to click twice...once to drop down the menu and then a second time to pick the mode.  The menu bar is not really that crowded, so to force these items into drop-downs to save some horizontal space, for me, is not worth the added clicks.  It was much faster and intuitive for me the old way.  Can we get an option to use the old UI where the icons are simply laid out across the top and not buried inside drop-downs?  Thanks!

General / Color Correction Process - 32bit only?

« on: April 02, 2015, 03:56:32 AM »

It appears the color correction stage of the texture processing caps out at 3.9gb of memory, even though I have 64gb available.  Is this process running as 32bit?

It would also be really nice to be able to CANCEL this process without the need to kill Agisoft exe via task manager.

General / Jpegs and Color Space?

« on: November 03, 2014, 06:02:48 PM »

Quick question about Agisoft Photoscan...Does anyone know if there is a preferred color space for 8bit jpegs to use for model creation?  sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB?  I know 16bit Tiff is always best, but I often use jpeg for non-critical work to save drive space, memory requirements and processing time.  Everything I've done with jpegs up until now has been exported from Lightroom as sRGB, but I'm curious if there is any benefit in Photoscan by using a wider gamut color space.

Thanks,

Feature Requests / Support for 4 character file extensions

« on: September 20, 2014, 06:02:47 PM »

Can we please get support on the Win version for images with 4 letter extensions such as .tiff and .jpeg?   Other apps we use insist on saving or loading files named this way,  so it would be great not having to always make a copy of image sequences and renaming to work in Photoscan.

Thanks,

Feature Requests / Solid color for sparse/dense points?

« on: August 21, 2014, 12:37:29 AM »

Would it be possible to add an option to display the sparse and dense point cloud points as a user defined solid color instead of the source image color?  This would be helpful in visualizing overall cloud shape as well as selecting errant points that sometimes are hard to distinguish from the background.

Thanks,
Mitch

Feature Requests / Undo/Redo for selection tools?

Can we please get an option to allow undo/redo on selection operations?

Bug Reports / Undo Operation Incorrect After Add/Subtract Selection

« on: August 19, 2014, 11:35:07 AM »

If you Undo after adding or subtracting from a point selection, the operation undoes the ORIGINAL selection and not the more recent add/subtract.  For example if you select an area around the mouth of your model, the ADD to that some points in the ear the Undo, the points around mouth get deselected but points in ear remain selected.

Feature Requests / Import Mask for Multiple Selected Images

« on: August 19, 2014, 11:28:12 AM »

When you attempt to import mask from alpha with more than 1 image selected it will only work for a single image unless you choose entire chunk or project.  Quite frequently I need to import mask for a certain number of images and not the entire chunk, but the only way to do this appears to be one by one.  Can you please add the ability for this step to respect all the images you currently have selected?

Thanks,
Mitch

General / GTX 680 vs 780

« on: August 13, 2014, 04:32:49 PM »

I'm about to upgrade my main computer from an i7-920 to a dual Xeon E5-2630 v2 and was planning to simply migrate my existing GTX 680 card over.   Does anyone know how much faster a GTX 780 (non-TI) would be than the 680 when it comes to processing dense cloud in Photoscan?   Trying to decide if it would be worth shelling out the extra bucks.

thanks,

General / Recommended Nvidia Drivers?

« on: August 13, 2014, 02:09:34 AM »

Hi everyone. 

After trying the latest nvidia drivers (340.52) on a system with win7, dual xeon and a GTX 680 card I'm getting a lot of "gpu failed, switching to cpu" errors during dense cloud creation.  I'm wondering if this could be graphics driver related and if there is a recommended GeForce driver for use with Photoscan.


Thanks

General / Create or Import same mask to multiple images at once?

« on: May 28, 2014, 09:36:04 PM »

Is there a way to either copy/paste an existing mask to multiple selected images at once?  Also, what about being able to IMPORT a mask to multiple images?  When I try to apply a single mask file to the entire chunk or workspace it appears to be expecting a sequence of mask files that correspond to the names of the photos.  However, I want to apply the SAME mask to ALL images.

General / Obj mesh import - Quads get triangulated

« on: May 28, 2014, 08:12:14 PM »

It appears that any quad polygons in an existing obj file get triangulated into faces on import into Photoscan.  Is there any way around this?  My meshes are being exported to Zbrush for retopo (zremesher) and UV unwrapped to then be re-imported back into Agisoft for texture re-projection.  Right now I'm simply taking the resulting texture map and applying to the same OBJ exported from Zbrush to avoid triangulated faces...but it would be nice to figure out a way to avoid this in Photoscan. 

Thanks,

General / Mutli-Camera shooting, different lens sizes ok?

« on: May 23, 2014, 02:49:00 AM »

I am thinking about adding a second DSLR to be able to shoot turntable photo sets faster, but wondering how important it is for them to have the same focal length or even same exact lens model.  I currently have a Canon 7d and thinking about buying a used 60d, which has same specs and resolution.   I do have a 50mm macro + another non-macro 50mm prime, but unsure if it would work to use these for the same photo session that will be processed in one Chunk.   To take it even farther, what about combining photos using one of these 50mm with some taken using my 35mm prime?

Thanks,
Mitch
