Second example looks good!
I will be doing some testing as well

Hello wojtek,
We'll try to implement that in the next version update.
Hi,
Before I mess about uninstalling 1.7.4 and figuring out how to install 1.7.1 , has the inability of 1.7.4 to create textures correctly (no blurred areas) been fixed yet as it was reported a month or so ago, and with hard evidence sent to tech support, but not heard back from them at all. Not the usual 2 day service mentioned there. several weeks so far. Others also said it was a bug, and suggested 1.7.1
I also still find that Photoscan is usually better at aligning all images, as well as making the texture without blurred areas. If it wasnt that it was SLOW, 5 x as slow, and had no mesh from Depth map, and lousy 3D model manipulation tools , I would prefer it, as it is I am between a rock and a hard place., Unable to actually do a simple job with whats offered by Agisoft.

The alignment process for my project is taking 2.5-3 days, due to the overlapping nature of the scans and my 'crap' hardware...
Is it possible to pause Metashape in the middle of doing its processing, such that i can load another project, do processing, play a game, or edit videos, and then come back to MS and resume the processing job?
I've tried just the 'Pause' button on the "Processing in progress..." dialog when running my batch jobs, which does pause it, but it doesn't seem to release all the, GPU resources, VRAM, and RAM (i guess, i have lots of this, so never been a problem) such that i can do anything else that requires the GPU... It's crashed.
Is there a way of pausing it such that it doesn't crash?
The situation i have right now is that I've got my dive site aligning, which is going to take another 2 days, but I've got some turntable scanning of insect models to do, which will only be a few hundred photos at most, but will probably cause the crash again, if my experiences before are correct. And i don't want to kill the batch job and lose the day of processing that it's already done.
It'd be excellent if we could pause MS, such that it does then free up all the resources, such that we could run another instance of MS, or PP, or a game, etc... And then press resume later, and it continues...
OR
To copy Windows, perhaps Metashape could have a hibernate feature, whereby it pauses, saves it exact state, and closes completely... Then absolutely anything could be done, updates, reboots, etc, annoying but sometimes necessary... Then later, we could reload Metashape and resume the job from hibernation, where it continues where it left off... As long as all the data is in the same place, everything should work fine.
Perhaps when this kind of pause/hibernation is demanded, MS might have to finish it's subtask and write off the completed zip files, etc, such that it can do a clean interruption.
Thanks.
Dear all,
when meshing using depth maps, a dense cloud is also generated, bit I find no way to get access to that DC.
Is there a way to see, analyse, export this dense cloud?
Thank you and best wishes,

Hello wojtek,Alexey, can you please give us some guidance with respect to VBO?:
For high-poly models display you can enable VBO option in the Advanced Preferences tab and assign considerable amount of VRAM to it. On RTX 3090 you can try to set 6 GB in VRAM field and check, if it allows to navigate ultra-high poly models smoothly. Also please check, that NVIDIA driver is up-to-date.Thanks.
- When we should consider enabling it?
- What value in relation to how much VRAM we have?
- Or how big our models are?
- And what implications does this have to other parts of Metashape, alignment, meshing processing, etc?
- Should it be disabled during processing, and only enabled for the final model?
- And it obviously works wonders, but what is VBO, what does it actually do in MS???
Hello wojtek,
If you have time, please check pre-release of 1.8.0 build 13257 for high poly models display (with Enable VBO support option ticked on in the Advanced Preferences dialog).
