Bug Reports / Re: Align chunks issues 1.70
« on: February 09, 2021, 06:06:24 AM »
Yeah sorry Alexey,

I've done a few models now and none are aligning (not even close) and they have enough overlap :(

Actually I worked it out, I had to scale both Dense Cloud chunks up and then re-tried the Merge Chunks button and it worked, thanks for the help though.

Thanks Alexey,

since the Align Chunks wasn't working and the edges are very thin I had to manually align the 2 chunks.

Thanks.

I'd like to share the project but I work for a university and they're very strict on these sorts of things so sorry I can't share the file.

I've noticed it in a few other projects I have done in the past few months but I fixed it by slightly moving one of the chunks and then Merging and that worked, but not in this particular case.

Ok thanks Alexey,

maybe there wasn't enough overlap with the sides of the hand model here, I'll see how we go with other models, but I've been doing similar models for about the last year and a half and the last few models haven't been aligning very well compared to the others I have done over that time.

Thanks.

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
« on: January 12, 2021, 02:28:51 AM »
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).

Thanks Alexey,

yeah manually adding UV's adds to the process time and I'm trying to be as time efficient as possible.

Thanks.

11
Thanks for the hasty reply Alexey.

And yes creating UV's worked.

Does that mean I have to do that for each model now?

Our subjects are Anatomy Cadaver models and they're pretty complex, UV mapping will be time consuming.

And how come it was working for me before without UV's but not now?

Thanks.

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.
