System Requirements
OS: Windows 10+
RAM: 128+ GB
GPU: OpenGL 4.6+ Compatible
Storage Space: ~ 1.5 TB per scan
SSD highly recommended, ideally 180000+ IOPS, 3000+ MiB/s
One scan can potentially take up to 1.2TB of data including all intermediary data, available capacity should be at minimum 1.5TBs
Faster storage will speed up the process, slower storage will slow it down
Third-party requirements:
Blender 2.93 in default installation location
First-time installation
For a first-time installation, you will be provided with an updater/installer called M-XR_Marso_Update.exe.
Download the updater and place it in the directory that you would like Marso to be installed.
This must be in a location that does not require administrator privileges, so therefore this cannot be in a system folder such as Program Files.
Run and launch the updater. It will then prompt you to enter your license key, upon successful activation it will then download the latest version of M-XR_Marso.exe in the same directory.
Once downloaded simply run Marso and it will launch, you can add a desktop or taskbar shortcut for convenience.
Activation
Once the program has launched, you will need to connect your identity to your license key.
Go to File-->Settings
Then enter your license key and hit Activate. Another dialog will open:
Fill in your identity details and hit Activate.
Should you encounter an issue with your license key please reach out via the support portal
Set-up
Select a directory for the Scratch Directory, this is the location Marso will use to store intermediary files.
It is recommended to use the fastest storage possible for this.
Marso generally needs 1TB free for a Job to run, so be sure you have plenty of free space.
Marso will automatically clear all cached data from the scratch disk once a job is completed.
Select a directory for the Output Directory, this is the location Marso will use to output the PBR material textures. This does not have to be on the same drive as the scratch directory and does not have to be performant.
Once done close the settings menu by hitting Save
Updating
To update Marso, launch Marso, and open the ‘about’ dialog
Help-->About
(this may also open at startup depending on your application settings).
Marso will then automatically check for an update, and if there is one then an Update button will be available. Click the Update button to install the new version. If any job is running you will be prompted to terminate it, then Marso will close, and the new version will be downloaded, when finished it will auto relaunch Marso.
