Bug Reports / Merge Chunks not working 1.70

« on: January 13, 2021, 03:44:30 AM »

I'm also having issues with Merging Chunks

Here's one chunk


And the other chunk


When viewing them both together with the "Show Aligned Chunks" button it shows them together like this...


But when I use Merge Chunks with these settings...


It only displays one side, ie


even though it's showing double the cameras and markers etc...



Am I missing something.

Bug Reports / Align chunks issues 1.70

Anybody else having issues with aligning chunks?

After using these settings:



I'm finding the chunks are way apart from each other and only one chunk will appear if I click the "Show Aligned Chunks" button (unless I move one of the chunks, as I have done in the above screenshot).

General / Imported quad models being exported out of Metashape as triangles?

« on: September 29, 2020, 01:46:34 AM »

Hey there guys.

My process is:

1) Build model in Metashape and export as .obj
2) Lower polycount with Zremesher in Zbrush
3) Check .obj in Blender for non quad faces
4) Reimport .obj into Metashape and apply texture
5) Export into Blender again to be finally exported as a blend4web html5 model.

Problem is lately when doing step 5) I find  the models are now all made up of triangles even though I checked in step 3)

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.
