✏️ Job Creation
In the main window of Marso, enter the Job Name and path to Raw Files:
Job Name: A descriptive name that will be used to identify the scan throughout processing and once the results are ready. e.g Blue_Leather_Handbag
When processing different versions of the same asset, use a naming system e.g object_v01. A unique name is not required but it will make it easier to manage your scans.
Letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. Do not use special characters
Raw Files: Specify the path to the raw images from the scan to be processed.
Marso can only ingest camera RAW or DNG Files, it cannot read jpeg, png or exr, see supported Files for details
⚙️ Loading Presets
Before starting the image preparation, ensure that you have the correct Exposure & Light-Setup selected. If you haven’t already calibrated your capture system please refer to calibration.
To Load a preset, go to :
File > Exposure Parameters and / or. File > Light Setup
The desired Exposure or Light-Setup preset can be loaded by selecting the corresponding row in the list and clicking the Save button. The loaded preset will be reflected in the settings window and used as the default for all future processing jobs.
📷 Image Preparation
Once the above information has been entered, the Start button within the Raw Processing pane can be clicked to start the Prepare step.
The new job will appear in the lower pane as soon as it is started, and data preparation will run until its status changes from PREPARING to READY.
If the status shows FAILED, make sure that the selected Exposure Calibration in Settings is correct. Contact support if the issue persists.
In addition to reading all data into Maraso, this step will also create exr files that will be needed for the photogrammetry step.
When using a capture system that has multiple lights for each camera position or node, Marso will automatically create one exr file for each group of lights as an averaged image.
