Looks great and it will be interesting to follow your progress. T
I am aslo doing scans for game engines, PBR renders and 3D print using Zbrush as my main app for editinng , UV and retopology.
Are you planning on using high settings on the dense cloud? For a project like this i would probably run it at medium. That way you should be able to run everything in one chunk using less than 32GB of RAM. Generating the mesh is the stage that sucks up a lot of RAM. For this you will have too divide in to chunks if you don´t have a lot of RAM.
Good luck and keep us updated.
Hi Igor,
I have started the Densecloud with High-settings two days ago and I regret it. My memory is full and swaping. The remaining Time has increased since I last checked. It is now still 31 hours to go. I fear it will increase even more. I guess I will have to cancel the process as I need my computer tomorrow to work. :-(.
Next week I will start it again. Maybe with medium settings or with separated chunks. I really wonder why it is taking all my memory. I have 64 GB. And I thought only Meshgeneration takes so much memory.
I have three options to try:
1. Medium settings
2. High settings but Car divided into two or three chunks
3. Jpg images instead of 16 bit tiff.
Do you think the last option would help to reduce memory cosume in densecloud-generation?
