Marso needs the exported alembic file (mesh), and the ST maps to account for the lens in the photography
To start the processing click the start button at the bottom right:
This will launch a window that needs to be populated with the information from photogrammetry.
An estimate of the required disk space will be calculated based on the selected UV texture resolution.
Clicking Start will begin the process.

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 will cause the prompt below to appear. Selecting Yes will also terminate any running job.
📦 Results
Upon processing completion, the Results button will be made available and clicking it will open the directory storing the material textures:
The results directory for each completed job will present the following contents:
A directory named Textures, containing folders for each supported render engine (currently just BlenderCycles). PBR textures will be generated for the Diffuse, Roughness, Specular and Normals channels in EXR, PNG, and JPEG formats.
