How to make maximal Texture quality for simplified models ?

I have big project of 3700 photos - outdoor and indoor.
I combined everything and the project was about 600M triangles.
I simplified it to 20M and 5M and I cannot manage to make texture quality higher than 40%.
I want to use not so many textures for not making to heavy.
What Unwrap setting should I tweak?

P.s.
why do you have a limit of simplification to 20M , what should I do if I want 50M model ?

Hello, Gal Devidson.

" ***** or buy more memory" - looks like this is just not enough RAM.

What your computer specs?

Hi
Please fill out you signature with your PC configuration: ucp.php?i=profile&mode=signature
What settings are you using for UNWRAP ? Is it possible to have a screenshot ?

RAM is not the issue - Simplification is one of the more light processing algorithms, I can simplify to any size smaller then 20M in a single minute.
Yes my computer quite old but still working as a beast :slight_smile: :twisted:
So I assume its a bug ?!

This is my Wrap parameters:

Yes it is an issue :slight_smile: and it is not. I will explain myself.

* Old simplification algorithm was designed so you need to have all the data in your memory. So if you don’t have enough memory, you get this kind of error (and it is RAM issue :D).

* But there is also newer simplification algorithm, which is out of core and you shouldn’t get this kind of error.
There are two options:

  1. You have an old version of the application.
  2. You need to change simplification algorithm in reconstruction settings - advanced section - ‘Use legacy simplify algorithm’ to FALSE.

Why is old simplification algorithm set as default? Because it is well tested and verified by many users. New algorithm may be still a bit buggy (I don’t say it is buggy, but it isn’t tested as good as the old one :wink: ).

Thank you, I’ll try the new Algo…
Thanks.
Can you advise for a good viewer that can handle 100M + ?

Hi Gal
In 3-4 months there will be few solutions regarding a viewer of BIG meshes… stay hungry for more :smiley: …
