Broken high res mesh
« on: March 04, 2020, 01:18:26 PM »
EDIT: ran it again with 100M face count (original set at 0) and it worked. Could be an issue with 0 face count.

Tried building mesh from a 154M pointcloud (generated in MS) but get this weird looking mesh, that is supposedly 373M poly high. Have made this previously with no problem.

Hello Kjellis85,

We'l try to reproduce the problem on similar size project, but if you have some spare processing time, can you please check if setting the face count to 360 millions, for example, gives you the same problem or not?

If you are able to open the exported high-poly  model in the external application, can you confirm that the issue is still observed (and it is not a rendering issue in Metashape)?

I can run it at the end of the working day to check if it stays the same at 360M. I did a test uploading to sketchfab and the model had the same issue. I don't have any desktop software that supports such high poly models.

Ran it again at target 360M and got the same faulty mesh as when I had the target set at 100M.

Hello Kjellis85,

If you decimate the same mesh to the 10 million face count - does it appear to be correct in the Model view or the same mess of the polygons is observed?

Decimated the broken 360M model to 10M and it appears to be in order, at least in MS model view. I realize that a workaroud could soleve the problem, by steering away from the large model, but it is not a solution for the long run.

Hello Kjellis85,

If the decimation "fixes" the problem, then it seems that the issue is related to the visualization in the Model view only.

Which GPU is used for the OpenGL rendering and which driver version you have installed?

Hello Kjellis85,

I can suggest to install latest NVIDIA drivers from NVIDIA web-site. If it doesn't help, please try to enable VBO in Metashape advanced preferences and set VBO limit to 4096 MB.

I have VBO activated and set limit to 41280 MB(!). Could that be an issue, that it has too much memory allocated? I was under the impression that the more the better was the general rule for VBO?

Hello Kjellis85,

VBO limit shouldn't exceed available VRAM.

Ok, I will change to a lower limit, within my Vram. Will run another test for tomorrow.
