General / Scaling factors when importing mesh into 3D Software
« on: August 14, 2012, 01:05:04 PM »
Hi there,
I import my meshes from photoscan into Maya. Generally I then align these meshes with simple geometry from surveys. However before aligning the two I have to scale the mesh to match the scale of the survey. Does anyone know if there are set scaling factors or if there is a way to import a mesh from photoscan so that it is already at the same scale?
I usually start with scaling the mesh by 24 times and then scaling by slight graduations by hand to match. From now on I will note down how much this scale factor is and see if there is a general rule and post back my findings. However, if anyone has any pointers or thoughts on this please let me know.
