An estimate of the required disk space will be calculated based on the selected UV texture resolution.

Info

Similarly to data preparation, only one job can be processed at a time.

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.

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.
