🔗 Import Photogrammetry Data
Once the photogrammetry process is complete and you have exported the Alembic file and ST map/s, select the job and click Start which will open up the Start dialog:
Ensure the alembic is properly scaled and contains a UV unwrapped mesh. See here for help
Enter the path to the alembic file and the lens profile file, then click Start, which will begin the process.
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.
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
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 Supported Files
📷 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.
