Opening the saved project doesn't give the exact model back.

When I am trying to open my RC saved projects, they aren't same anymore. The solid textured model doesnt look like textured anymore , more of a net of sparse point cloud. Moreover some parts of my reconstructed model get distorted and holes appear which weren't there previously. Please give me a solution asap. Thank You.

  Hello, 

  You can change views by clicking on 3d window and then click on the SCENE button in context ribbon. And in scene render you can switch between different modes: Vertices / Solid / Sweet. 

  You can read more in application help in the topic - Real-time Scene Renderer

  Thanks a lot. That worked. Can we export the texture/material as a separate jpg file in RC?

  Yes, when your model is textured in export chose Mesh  - then in save as type chose just texture option.

  But it gives a rcinfo extension , can't it be changed to jpg format?

  rcinfo is just info file. it is xml file that contains model coordinates. 

  If you want to export texture only then in export chose Model and  then as in the attached images:

  The problem is it works fine if I start reconstruction and export it all together. But if I save my reconstructed project, and the open it, as discussed earlier change the Mesh renderer to sweet, what happens is I dont get the Texture settings while exporting. Then I have to hit texture again and then I am able to export it successfully. What should be done to avoid re-computation of Texture?

  you have to first texture your component to see textured mesh in Sweet mode. 

  Are you sure that when you open your project you have selected component that is textured ?

  I saved it after texturing components. I am attaching screenshots. My images show Tx sign which means textured as far as I know. You can have a look and suggest proper method.

  Tx next to the image means that image is being used in the process of texturing. 

  But you models do not have texture. 

  This should look like that :

  

  If you click on the model you can see report there you will see information if your model was textured too.

  I always save the textured model. I don't know why I cant find the texture after re-opening saved project.

  But did you actually made texture? As it seems that you colorized your model instead. If so, then your mesh will have only vertex  colors and this cannot be exported as texture. 

  What version of RC do you use ?

  Yes , I textured it. Did it again and saved , same thing happened while re opening. For some reason texture goes away only coloured mesh remains. I use 1.0.3.6310 RC

  if you simplify a model, you need to retexture it again (please have a look at the short tutorial 'Simplify' in the help section of the software); also you need to select the proper model in the 1Ds panel for further processing, including display

  I Know that simplifying will remove texture but the main thing is I hadn't simplified it.

  could you please move the middle and possibly also the right line of the 1Ds panel (middle one to the left and right one to the right) so that we can see the full information that is currently cut in your screenshots, and post a screenshot of just this 1Ds window?

  so Model 6 onwards is not textured, because there is no Tx sign in the middle

  Hi, Rafa ! I am a researcher and CEO of an IT firm. I don't think currently I can share the project files. I would specially appreciate RC community to have developed a wonderful software. I tested it to set benchmarks against other photogrammetry software , was quite impressive I must say. 

  I would surely try to send my project files.

  I thing I get it, I may be wrong, but it is a filtered model. Perhaps filtering has such effects. Is it advisable to delete all other models not in use? Will that fix the saving of texture part?

  no, filtering keeps the texture if it had been fully computed before filtration,

  but deleting the models you do not want/need to keep is certainly advisable if there are too much of them to handle

  I got these directional light rays, would like to know more about it, if we can disable it. And also my right click move control is now constrained , it is zooming in instead of moving around the mesh.

  hello, the orange lines are mentioned in this help tutorial: Geo-reference the Scene (Geo-referencing a Model),

  to turn them on/off, tick Residuals in the 3D SCENE context tab:
