Dear all,
I’m having an issue when exporting textures after scanning a 20×20 cm object using the POP 3 Plus (color mode enabled), with the turntable and the scanner mounted on a tripod, connected via USB to my laptop.
The scan is acquired correctly, but during the processing steps in RevoScan 5.5.3 (fusion → mesh → texture), the texture generation takes HOURS (message: “8 minutes” = real, about 2,5 hrs), and most of the time, it fails to complete.
During this long process, my SSD fills up with several gigabytes of data. Sometimes, I get an “out of memory” error, likely because it uses up all available disk space.
For example, last time I started with 160 GB of free space, and by the end of the texture process, it goes down to 118 GB.
Is this amount of disk usage normal just for texture generation?
My laptop specs: Intel Core i7 2.4GHz – 12GB RAM – GeForce 920M (2GB VRAM) – Windows 10
Sadly with your system it will take very long time and you may run out of memory.
The processing is very RAM intense .
What you can do is simplify the meshed scan before creating textures .
If the scan is very high in polygons amount it will take longer to texture it.
I suggest you export the meshed scan you have now , then simplify the original one in the software and try to texture it again , reduce the poly amount at least 50%
The details will be still there
Remember to simplify after meshing , not the point cloud.
It will help reduce the time dramatically and usage of your RAM and System
12GB is not much considering lots of it is used for your system as well.
Thank you for your reply.
I would like to be able to acquire data with the laptop and then perform the entire meshing and texturing process on my desktop computer, which has 128 GB of RAM and it is dedicated to this kind of work. Is that possible?
Where can I find the folder containing all the raw data (including texture)?
Open the software on your laptop, you will find the scan project on the Home Page , the path to the project you will find under the 3 dots … Next to that project
After that you will find it in the open folder and can zip the whole project and move to your PC where you can open it in the software by Importing the project ( after unzipping )
On PC create new project within the software and after that you will find the Import option in the menu bar above top. Save it and it will show up on your Home Page on your PC for future edits
I still suggest you simplify the scan after meshing for better texturing results. You will still have all details after 50% simplification ( decimation ) then process to Texture generation , the best way.
