I have been in the Calibration mode for about 2 hours placing TONS of Locators all over the place. I am using 9 images. And after 60 Locators, I have half that are green and the other half grey. I have 4 that are yellow. As I keep going, I can zoom out of the picture view and see that the image has curves on the outside. That makes sense. However, a Few times, the image would look like a ball. The Sides of the image would curve inword. All the images were not taken with "AUTO" on my 5MP camera. Just a Fast Shot Mode. No zooming on the photos either. I want to make sure I am doing this right. Thanks for the help! 2009-11-13T13:52:47+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/defining-canvas-sizes-for-textures/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/defining-canvas-sizes-for-textures/page-last/#When:21:06:31Z Hi, is there a way to say that the created texture canvas is defined before the extraction begins? Such as, "Extract and project it into a canvas having 1024x1024 borders?" 2009-11-12T21:06:31+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/circles/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/circles/page-last/#When:22:05:46Z Can someone explain to me how to figure out the circles? Any help would be great! After placing points everywhere and getting a good calibiration. I added the XYZ to a point and then added the RIGHT Angel piece. I pushed Calibirate Manually. This is what it did.

The viewing angles which allow me to see whole facades are very limited. As a result I have yet to have a successful Imagemodeler project (I'm on my 6th try and nothing is helping). I have taken as many shots as I can with the same focal length and I have created a number of exterior panoramas of the facades using Stitcher which I then imported into Imagemodeler as Cubic QTVR (exported at 4000 x 4000). I do not know if Imagemodeler will calibrate from these, but aside from that I have about 12 "overall" images which show 3 corners of the building and about 180 "partials" that I used to build the panos. I don't have an SLR so I'm using a Sony DSC-S980 at 12 megapixels. My panos vary between 3 and 14 stitched shots taken with a tripod. I am up to about 40 Locators placed with most of them spread across at least 8 images each and yet no calibration solution. And if I even think about trying to introduce a corner constraint and calibrate the whole project blows up. If anyone has any idea what I can do to get this to work I am all ears. I have been going back and forth between Imagemodeler and Photomodeler Scanner and neither are giving any results so I'm obviously doing something very wrong, but damn if I know what it is. Many thanks.

I am happy to see this, I thought the distortion model was too simple in earlier versions. Where can I find more info on the new distortion model Disto 3 5 (-3i 5i)— ? The docs are pretty bare in this regard. Does it support fisheye distortion now? 2009-11-02T21:45:38+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/2-depth-map/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/2-depth-map/page-last/#When:20:09:35Z Hello, Is there anyway to see depth map generated by ImageModeler? 2009-11-02T20:09:35+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/international-student-competition---a-fresh-look-at-20th-century-architectural-heritage/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/international-student-competition---a-fresh-look-at-20th-century-architectural-heritage/page-last/#When:11:50:30Z International Student Competition A FRESH LOOK AT 20TH CENTURY ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE Digital surveying and representation based on Panoramic Imaging and Image-Based-Modeling The International Union of Architects announces the launch of an international competition that will invite architecture students from around the world to create imagemodels of examples of significant architectural creativity realised during the 20th century. This competition is an opportunity for the architects of tomorrow to enrich the web index http://www.archi.fr/UIA with their own expression of an architectural realisation from the last century, using today's design tools. The image models to be designed for this competition need to be based on digital photographs created using Autodesk® ImageModeler® and Autodesk® Stitcher® Unlimited software. This software will be made available by Autodesk® to the competitors for use free of charge for the duration of the competition. All phases of the competition will be conducted on-line. Students are free to choose the structure they wish to represent, from a major landmark to an unknown building, with the condition that it was built between 1901 and 2000. Entries can be architectural descriptions based on panoramic images and/or 3D models of the structure in its current state. Students may also work in groups, on different elements or structures in an architectural or urban complex. Competitors should register on-line through the competition website from October 19, 2009 until March 26, 2010. Submissions may be transmitted on-line from April 5, to April 26, 2010. The competition website will open on October, 19, 2009. The full competition regulations will be available at the competiton web site. http://www.archi.fr/3D_20th This initiative is part of a partnership between the French Ministry of Culture and Communication's direction of architecture and heritage; the French National Centre for Scientific Research (UMR 694 MAP-Gamsau Laboratory) the international committee for Documentation and Conservation of buildings, sites and neighbourhoods of the Modern Mouvement (Docomomo) and the UIA to develop and enrich the web site http://www.archi.fr/UIA, dedicated to 20th century architecture. Autodesk® is the exclusive software sponsor of this competition. 2009-11-01T11:50:30+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/depth-map/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/depth-map/page-last/#When:06:18:15Z Hello, Is there anyway to see depth map generated by ImageModeler? 2009-10-26T06:18:15+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/exporting-markers-to-3ds-max/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-imagemodeler/general-discussion/exporting-markers-to-3ds-max/page-last/#When:19:10:59Z Is it possible to get the 3d point markers out to 3ds MAX somehow.
