Hi,
Its ok creating a mesh with texture but what online viewer is there for someone to view the result you send them ?
How should it be sent ?
so far I have spent 3 days trying first obj which has a separate mtl and jpg file, and such need to exist together on a pc in a folder for the jpg to work, so online upload a file is no use, unless someone knows better.
fbx embeds the jpg but I cannot find a site that will open and play it, those found I saw a black silhouette and loads of sliders that was too complex, a client isnt going to fiddle about. Autodesk viewer was far too dark , at least it showed the image, it had no ortho view as such.
Aspose is fbx yet it made a complete disaster of metashapes fbx export, the texture was not allocated to the parts but just dumped over it.
I am beginning to think metashape fbx export is faulty as nothing is working right yet. either far too dark, or no image or mapped wrong.
I tried fbx from photoscan and opened into rhino and it was just white object.
I also need measuring capability from it. So I need to add scale, so use meshlab to get a dimension into it.
Unless a client can see the result whats the point of creating a 3D model for them ?
I seem to have discovered the hole in the entire system , no one apart from me can view the results !
