[SOLVED] Bug 892: New Simplify Algorithm Fails With Large Projects

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.

It would be great if this worked. Thanks

Hello,
can I have your PC configuration like in my signature?

Having looked at the screenshots, I think you are not using the new simplification algorithm.

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.

Thanks

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.

Thank you very much.

Right… so the files are about 80GB (compression also doesn’t help much)
(mainly the .dat files)

This is probably to much to upload and download so is there somewhere i can send a hard drive instead?

So long as you send it back this shouldn’t be a problem.

let me know

Hello Luke,
So, if you are OK with sending us harddrive with this project, please send it to this address:

Drienova 3
821 06 Bratislava
Slovakia
( https://www.capturingreality.com/Contact )

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.

Thank you for your help, we really appreciate it.

No worries, It will be in the post tomorrow.

Ill try and find out how long it will take and update you.

Its on its way

Hi Kruzma,

The shipping tracking says “Awaiting payment of duties for clearance and collection”

There should not be duties.

let me know if there is anything i can do to help

Hello,
they will probably send us a letter to collect the package, containing more information on the requirements.

Hello again,
we have received the package today.

Hi lubenko,

Any News?

Hello Luke,
we are working on it. We will let you know if we find something.

Hi Kruzma,

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.

I have sent the disk back to you today.

just got a confirmation this should be fixed with the next release

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%

hello, the fix has not been release yet, please excuse the delay
