Bug Reports / Space Mouse does not work in OS X 12.3.1

« on: April 24, 2022, 07:07:35 PM »

While my Space Mouse works fine in most applications with the most recent driver, it doesn't do anything in MetaShape Standard right now.

HID enabled controller is enabled in MetaShape's preference, and the SpaceNavigator is also listed and found under controller. However, neither the buttons nor any of the axis work.

Any ideas what I could do?

Thanks

General / How to center and straighten up rotational models?

« on: April 21, 2022, 04:09:10 PM »

I'm sampling the pieces of a historic chess game, which I photographed on a turn table.

After some initial struggles with the automatic camera calibration [do not try this with pawns or bishops... import the calibration from other pieces like the knight], this worked out quite well for my purposes.

The camera was on a tripod, so all the source images should have the same y coordinate. Though the cameras are correctly aligned with respect to each other, they and the reconstruction volume are rotated along the x axis by about 30°.

The only remaining issue I have is to orient the pieces along their rotational axis.

Any tips on how to do that?

General / Adding photos/cameras to an existing folder

« on: August 30, 2018, 07:03:08 AM »

I'm dabbling around with Photoscan on a rather moderate setup (16 GB of RAM on a laptop), so I'm trying to limit the number of photos/cameras I use.

I start with a rather small camera count, and then have a first run. If I encounter problem zones, more photos/cameras are added to address those,

Now to my question:

Is there a way to add additional photos to the current folder of already aligned cameras, and then recalculate alignment / dense cloud without loosing the calculations that I already did?

Thanks
