This final step may take upwards of 12 hours, depending on the mesh size, source photography resolution, and the number of cameras and lights.


☠️ Manually Terminating a Job

While a job is running, clicking Stop will stop the process. This will lose any progress within the current step, so it is not recommended unless necessary. Attempting to close the main Marso window while a process is running, the prompt below will appear. Selecting Yes will also terminate any running jobs.
