General / 360 Video Workflow

« on: March 13, 2020, 11:03:31 PM »

Hi,

I'm using Metashape Standard and was inspired by this video (https://twitter.com/Ruben_Fro/status/1215561737430282240) to try capturing an outdoor scene with 360 video to get a point cloud with Metashape. I've had previous luck with limited sets of 360 photos but this is my first time trying it with thousands of frames.

My camera outputs 6 fisheyes per frame. I can manually assign each them to a group and set it to Camera Station but this process breaks down due to the size of the dataset.

Is there a workflow for setting up the camera stations in an automated way?

Thanks!
Max

General / Poor Man's Markers

« on: June 28, 2019, 10:00:25 PM »

Hi,

I'm using a lightbox and a turntable to scan objects. For heavily-textured objects, I'm able to get the cameras to align without too much hassle. For more simple objects, it's having a hard time. I would love to use the printable markers to help with alignment (from Pro), but this is for an indie game that can't justify the cost on a single feature. Is there a recommendation for something I can place the objects on with a lot of detectable features to help with alignment? Would that even help?

Thanks!
