This is a quick post to announce the new version of the PhotoSyntToolkit with 2 new features:
- CMVS support finally integrated
- proper handling of folder with white space
How to use CMVS with PhotoSynthToolkit:
- As usual run step 1 and move pictures from “hd” to “distort” folder.
- You need to run first “Prepare for PMVS2″ then do NOT launch the generated bat file.
- You can run “Prepare for CMVS” and run the generated bat file.
Warning: I’ve fixed all my programs to handle folder with white space (thanks to boost::filesystem). Sadly PMVS2/CMVS don’t handle them. The fix is trivial but instead of recompiling a new version I’ve found a bad workaround. I’m creating a temporary virtual drive z: pointing to your synth folder during the execution of PMVS2/CMVS using SUBST. The downside are that if you already have a z: drive it won’t work and if you kill PMVS2/CMVS you’ll have to manually remove the z: drive. To remove the z: drive type “subst z: /d” in your console.
If you need XSI/3DS max integration you’ll have to use the old version: PhotoSynthToolkit7.zip otherwise PhotoSynthToolkit9.zip is the latest version.
Wow. I discovered V8 yesterday adn V9 is out next day
GREAT!
I´m going to try it…
@Pablo: another one is coming very soon

It’s very nice to hear you updating the tools, it is an wonderful job.
Dear Henri, when I run “Prepare for CMVS” , there is an error

@Chris: can you give me the link of your synth?
Dear Henri, I try a lot of synths, I used PhotoSynthToolkit 9 to download mysynth

3 – Prepare for PMVS2.wsf work well.
wondering to hearing from you.
Thanks
@chris: You need to run “Prepare for PMVS” before “Prepare for CMVS” (even if you don’t wan’t to run the reconstruction without CMVS). BTW did you try PhotoSynthToolkit11 ?
