i have 13700k, 64gb ram, 4090. Fusing even a small scan takes eons because it isn’t even loading the CPU up to barely 15%. I also compared this to my laptop with 4060, ultra 9 285, 64gb ram.
is there any setting im missing that makes this take longer. Coming from competitor's scanner I have never experienced such slow processing of the point cloud even for gigantic scans.
The slow fusing is because of the Laser mode and the amount of very small frames to be recalculated to rebuild the model , a slightly different method than when using Structure light mode where the frames are bigger and less frames us needed.
Laser mode can produce huge data and since it is only CPU based software , the GPU is not used in calculation.
How higher the fusing settings how longer it will take .
Try to avoid capturing extra things beside your actual object by selecting the proper brightness for your order settings .
It will work slightly faster but still not as fast as you want it to be .
Use also your system "hard drive " avoid external hard drivers .
Don’t use too high fusing settings if the details are not there. Measure the smallest detail on your object and set the fusing according to it .
For now that’s all you can do .
why is it not taking advantage of full CPU capability then?
If the CPU would run at full capacity your system RAM would run out and crash with this South of frames, right now the algorithms are set this way and not another for fusing raw scans scanned using Laser mode .
The slower processing preserving the system RAM as well.
Don’t forget that models with this amount of data using lots of processing time in other applications as well .
This don’t means that it will be this way for ever as the team is working on improvements all the time.
I think he means - wouldn’t it be possible to have a slider that selects how much cpu and ram the application uses.. 15% cpu usage is tiny.. Even excel uses more when recalculating. CPUs are multithreaded these days, so couldn’t multiple threads be used to speed everything up? Even if you don’t use the GPU
Hi @Vassago
Sorry but I don’t have any other answer for it at this moment .
The Dev. Team is working on the improvements and will find better way.for speed up the fusing mode for laser mode scans in the future.
As I said already so many times , this is related to Fusing of Laser mode scans , specifically with laser mode frames , the other mode and functions working optimal .
