We have been unable to use the New simplify algorithm to simplify large model as it consistently fails. This is on CLI Licence but running from the GUI.
It says:
“Processing failed: operation failed”
“Oxb”
See attached images
System has 128GB of ram, 8 core, 2TB cache disk remaining.
Thanks for your reply, i have updated my signature with specs.
How would i use the new algorithm?
“use legacy simplify algorithm” is set to “false”
In the screen shot it is already set to false. If i change it to “True” i am only able to simplify to the stated amount of tris given the ram of the system. if i use “true” it gives a red bar across the screen and says can only simplify to XXXXXXXX number, if its below this number it works.
Hello Luke,
this is apparently bug in new simplification algorithm.
Unfortunately old algorithm requires to load both new and old model to RAM, so if you don’t have enough memory for both you can’t simplify your model.
Right now there is no easy way how to do this.
You can filter unwanted triangles from your model and then try to simplify with old algorithm.
Or you can split model into multiple parts, simplify them and merge them in external tool.
Or you can use external tool for simplification.
Anyway, Is it possible to send us your project, so we can identify and fix the issue?
Thank you for your help.
Ahh yes we have done work around like this by just using old algorithm and using parts.
I can send some project files. I wont be able to send images as they are to large.
Which files did you need?
.rcproj?
Thanks
Hello Luke,
We don’t need images, just rcproj and folder with .dat files next to it (there are recon data etc.).
It will be probably huge as well. So try to compress it and upload it to same file sharing service.
We will send it back as soon as we copy the data.
Please send me your postal address (where we should return your drive) to kruzma@capturingreality.com or just PM me here on the forum.
Any change you could send me back the hard drive? thanks.
Hello Luke,
I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.
We wanted to send you working solution together with the HDD, but unfortunately there emerged tasks with higher priority.
If you need your disk we will send it to you right now.
Hi, is this fixed in the current release? I am having issues simplifying a 13m mesh down to 1m.
It is hanging at 60% calculated, and has been sitting that way for 2 days, ram usage is very 14/64GB but cpu is at a solid 20%
