I am trying to render an animation trajectory of a point cloud that I have edited, and no matter what settings I use, the point cloud is rendering with all point groups turned on in the video. I have tried to render with the edited points in a custom group, in one of the predefined groups, and also in the disabled group. All three return the same results - a video with ALL points turned on in the animation. Is this the expected result? It seems as though having a group turned off should render with that group off.
This seems to be a bug in the software, I was able to reproduce it and have reported it to our developers. Sorry, but I do not know of a workaround so far. Thanks for reporting the issue.
Nice attempt at an offshore platform, it looks very similar to some prior work I have done as well.
Since this is a bug in Pix4D, my only suggestion is to take different pictures and change settings in Pix4D so you donât have the noise in the first place. Of course that isnât easy and why I do processing for a number of other companies.
Weâre in the same proverbial boat Adam! I too am processing this for a third party client, and had to make the best of what I was given to work with.Â
Hopefully Pix4D will come up with a solution to this rather quickly, as having the ability to render the classified point cloud would be nice.
Hello Pix4d Friends!!! I love this program, but today I ran into this same problem!!! I am in desperate need of this function to work properly, Please let us know when you will have this fixed! Its weird, I was able to render one good animation, just one, now each render has included in the animation all of the points that I marked as Disabled. Please help⊠Thanks guys!
Unfortunately, in addition to the current release version 4.2.27, I still experience this issue with the preview version 4.3.21.
My methodology was as follows:
Process step 1
Process step 2 point cloud only
Cleaned point cloud by assigning points to the âDeletedâ point group
From the âProcessâ menu, selected and ran 'Generate 3D Textured Mesh
However, the Deleted points were still included in the 3D Mesh which included (but not limited to) entire objects, such as cars, which were assigned entirely to the âDeletedâ point group.Â
Â
Edited: Confirmed on version 4.3.21, assigning points to the âDisabledâ point group and not the âDeletedâ point group resolved the issue for me. Is this an intended function of the software for both of these point groups? I ask because if the software is behaving as expected, then IÂ recommend that the instructions of the video âHow to edit the point cloudâ (starting at time point 4:51) found on the video academy webpage where the tech states to assign points to the âDeletedâ group to prevent them from being considered in further processing.
