Hi Robert Moggach
Overlapping UVs will be always an issue in photogrammetry… As they need proper projection parameters so the UVs need to be done in a proper way, too…
I’ve noticed that all the textures exported have a u1_v1 trailing descriptor in the name and wondering if there is a method to use a UV space greater than 1 in UDIM fashion? OR is there a way to properly generate geometry with overlapping UVs that RC will accept? OR will we eventually be able to select multiple models within RC and project to them as a group?
take a look at a very good article about UDIM https://www.fxguide.com/featured/udim-uv-mapping/
The big issue I’m having is when I split up my geo into smaller component parts I end up with alot of extraneous texture projection occlusions and “splotches” from hidden geo. Eg. I’ve done eyes separate from a human head and not only do the back of the eyes (inside of the skull) pick up the hair from the back of the head, I even have the clothing texture from the lower legs on the bottom of the eyes. (200 camera scan rig)
on a 200 camera rig this should not happen, is it possible to get one dataset so that we can take a look at what is the issue and how to solve it ??
My best solution at present is to cut the geo up and use the projection weighting to narrow down/refine the result but this is a time consuming process and often requires doing multiple projections and exports to have a set of images that can be further cleaned up in 2D paint packages.
this should not be necessary, it looks like a not ideal workflow…
Please contact me directly so that we can solve this…
