• Workflow

  • Added a new check to processing to ensure all raw files in a job have consistent exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture, ISO), the process will error now if the values are not consistent

• Performance

  • Improved the GPU utilisation of one of the processing modules, resulting in a notable performance improvement

• Features

  • Marso and Updater are now signed with a self signed certificate (M-XR Ltd)

• Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where the default type filter for the ST Map explorer window would be not set correctly for RealityCapture

  • Fixed an issue where the ESC key would not work in the photography calibration rectangle selection window, now you can back out of the program back to the main GUI

  • Fixed an issue where the extension dropdown list would not refresh when creating a second job with the same raw images folder as the first job

  • Fixed an issue where during deletion of a job if a user very quickly selected another job during the deletion it would remove the newly selected job from the list but leave the original

• Bugfixes

  • Fixed Marso being unable to start due to unnecessary dependency

• Workflow

  • Photogrammetry images can be produced without creating an Exposure Params preset

  • Exposure Params Preset and Light System can be re-assigned in the configure dialog rather than being fixed after job creation

  • Jobs can now be sorted by most recent interaction

  • License key will be populated on start-up if installed with the updater

  • Marso logs will now roll-over daily instead of creating a single massive log file

• Bugfixes

  • Exposure Preset creation would hang if started while a job was running

N.B. Some Finished jobs may need to be re-configured before they can be queued again, if they were created on a previous version of Marso

• Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where some RAW image files would fail to be read correctly

• Results

  • Added new experimental Specular workflow as an optional output

  • Added new filtering to reduce artifacts from photogrammetry reconstruction

• Performance

  • Reduced storage utilisation by 40%-90% (depending on input data size)

  • Time to process scan reduced by 35%-75% (depending on input data size)

• Workflow

  • The prep stage is no longer required if the photogrammetry data is available

• Bugfixes
