I tried the photogrammetry room in 3DC. I used a set of 60 photos I took with my Nikon DSL that I used in 3DF Zephyr to create a 3D object. In 3DC I created a point cloud but could not see any options to go further and create an 3D model. Am I missing something?

So I haven't had time to look into it. What exactly is it supposed to do if you're starting with another program? I usually use Reality Capture for photogrammetry but that goes through the whole process, doesn't make sense to switch programs in the middle, unless it does a better job or something.

Hi! Sorry for the delayed response. Thank you for your interest in the photogrammetry room. To create the 3D model from images in 3DC, you need to meet the following system requirements:
•  CUDA (at least ver. 10.0)

•  NVIDIA driver (at least ver. 400)

•  GPU capability ( at least 3.0).

Did you get the following message box before installing the photogrammetry room?
Best regards,
Vitaliy

I did get that screen but not the info about my video card. I have two Nvidia cards installed - NVideo GeForce RTX 2060 Super with  8gbs of DDR6 ram and a NVideoGTX 1060 with 6GBs 

 

Nvideo technical data from driver version 536.67

Thanks kindly.

I did as you suggested and got the following reply

compute_cap
6.1
7.5

Is this adequate?

Ok. Thanks for the system information. 
Can you run "nvidia-smi --query-gpu=compute_cap --format=csv" from command line to get the compute capability?

Yes, that’s adequate. Please do the following actions.

1. Remove the directory “COLMAP” from the folder  ...\Users..\Documents\3DCoat\data\ThirdParty\
2. Run 3DC and go to the photogrammetry room.
3. Check if “The System Specs Requirements” window appears before activating the room.
Please take a screenshot of this window and send it to me.
I want to understand why you don’t have colmap with CUDA installed.
Best regards,
Vitaliy

HI,

 

Thanks.

I ran this, and received the result:

compute_cap
6.1

 I have an nVidia1050 card in my laptop.

When running the photogrammetry Room I get the message:

image.png.02cf2f24ebd6050f61283a43a14b0f3b.png

 

CUDA being zero seems like it might be an issue.

Cheers,

Derek

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
What version of the 3DC do you have?
Could you please run the command  nvcc --version from command line to check the CUDA version?
nvcc --version 
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2022 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Tue_May__3_19:00:59_Pacific_Daylight_Time_2022
Cuda compilation tools, release 11.7, V11.7.64
Build cuda_11.7.r11.7/compiler.31294372_0

If CUDA is not available on your laptop then goto link "https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit" to install CUDA toolkit.
Best regards,
Vitaliy

I have 3DC ver 2023.27 installed but see .28 is available. I will update to that.

Cuda is installed on my Ryzen 7 3700x. I have Cuda toolkit from Nvidia already installed. 

Thanks kindly.

Once again I have deleted the COLMAP folder and updated to 3DC 2023.28. I get the same results as before.

Did not have to do anything like this to get RealityCapture, Meshroom, Agisoft, or 3DF Zephyr to run. So I guess 3DC is not going to work for me for photogrammetry.

Thanks for your assistance, but I give up.

Sorry, but I do not mean to be rude. I am retired and next year will be 70 years old. Two years ago I found myself tasked with being my 92 year old father's primary caregiver. I live with my Dad and find it occupies most of my time. When I do have a free amount of the time, the window is very brief. So when I sit at my computer I want to do something in 3DCoat, Photoshop, Blender, Rebelle, etc and not be involved in the technical stuff just to make something work. I was a system admin for Windows, Novell Netware, SUSE and Citrix fileservers for close to 35 years. And now that I am retired, I preferred to leave the techie stuff behind.

Sorry, if I offended anyone, it was not my intent. The reality is I only have so much time in my day and when I do have some idle time, I want to relax and create something and not struggle to make an application work.

But if anyone at 3DC wants me to try again, I certainly do not mind or test the photogrammetry for them. So please send me a message if I can help test the 3D scanning stuff.

Just updated to the most current version .29 and I also deleted the COLMAP folder. Launched 3DC and went into the PHOTOGRAMMETRY room and had the exact same results.
