1.7.4 update flaws in texture and texture missing on file reopen
« on: September 01, 2021, 10:01:50 AM »
As the subject states, the first model processed with the new version has texture issues - there are several 'fuzzy' patches in the texture that look 'tessellated'.  The texture is also not saving even though i save the file, upon reopening it, the texture is entirely missing and won't display!  I downgraded to 1.73 and opened the same file - texture was viewable but still with the same flaws.  Upon rebuilding the texture it turned out fine.
Here is the version with texture issues - I have marked the offending patches with annotations:

It's a problem with the UV mapping in 1.7.4, I've reported this a few days ago so I guess Alexey and the team are on it already.

Hello Bill,

Please check that you have build 13028 installed. Do you still obverse the problem?
Best regards,

I've retested with build 13028 and I'm getting different but still broken results.

I'm having a similar or perhaps the same issue with pixelated/stretched texture patches. If I texture the mesh as it comes out of processing, everything works ok, but if I do any kind of post-processing on the mesh, the texture presents random patches of pixelated/stretched texture. I've seen this behaviour both for models that were exported, modified in third party software (sculpting, fixing non-manifold geometries, holes closing, etc.), imported back to Metashape and trying to rebuild the texture (Generic, Images, 16k, Mosaic); and for models with meshes that were refined, smoothed or otherwise post-processed within Metashape. The issue started in version 1.7.4 no matter what build, and I tested both on v.13028 and the previous one (don't recall number, but it came out in early August). I believe it has to do with some error during the parameterization of the texture atlas and I'm guessing it mistakenly reserves a very small space on the UV for a larger area on the mesh (I opened the UVs in Blender and verified that this is the case - very small areas that get stretched and pixelated because they apply to a large area). The software behaves entirely randomly and every time the patch/patches is/are different both in size, number and location. I've tried it on two objects, two to three times each for each version, and getting consistently pixelated/stretched patches in the texture. I rolled back to 1.7.1 and the issue seems to go away.

Yes, the issue revolves around UV patches being deformed and/or almost 0px in size. Also more small UV patches in general.


Is there a tweak we can use to fallback to previous version of UV parametrization?

Thanks for your response Alexey.  Can't check the build number as I have rolled back to version 1.73.  There a 'revision number' of the MSI file is {C92CFCC7-CDD0-47EC-BC8D-C0F198A17F49} if that helps.  Haven't tried again yet, but I think I'll stick with 1.73 for a while until the problem is sorted - I have a few deadlines.
cheers
Bill
