OBJ converting problem about filetovox HOT 12 CLOSED

Can you upload the model which fail ? It's hard to replicate the problem.

sure

Well I don't think there is a real bug, it's just that the grid size you set is very very big, so you probably have not enough ram to do this conversion (I sucessfully converted your model with a grid size of 1000 but I flirt with the limit of my ram (almost 16Go of RAM used).

The OBJ conversion is deprecated and I will remove this feature in the future. Try to convert your model in PLY (a cloud point) and the convert it with FileToVox. Much better results (colors are also supported). I've done a video tutorial about this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg3z2GaMJzM

Well as i said, before this i made much denser mesh, which size 100mb instead of 20, and it converted ok.
I have 64gb RAM, i don't think it's issue.

I rechecked, first obj i attached should be 252001 faces
And this one ground.zip is 2011988
And it converted ok.
As i understand 2000 is limit, it's not crash when i set gs 2000, just throw error at the end.
But at 1995 it's converting ok

And yes, in process it takes great amount of RAM, up to 50gb
but it starts...

I guess in this case i can achieve same result with just depthmap, but i thought adding some details with other objs and then merge them.

the only difference (except face count) between those two objects, that new is thicker

If it possible to convert classic mesh to PLY, i will try. I thought PLY is standard for 3d scanners, i remember getting hard time to convert PLY model to 3dsmax as classic mesh, long time ago.

i was able to convert this landscape in to cloud of points, i also was able scale mesh to fit maximum size of world (almost of course, near maximum values)
but i there is need tremendous amount of points to fill whole mesh surface. PLY file grown to about 2gb
and it's still have holes
i think "fill holes" option should help, but it just throw error, even if use default amount of points (vox scene then also looks like cloud of points)

also regardless of "fill holes" option, there is some error about alpha being -26, I'm not sure, at first test this error not appear and when it appear afterwards it's don't interrupt program and result opens in MagicaVoxel ok.

My goal was make landscape that fill whole available world space, and i was able to do this with that 100mb obj, and it's seems i was just lucky or something.

If fill holes suppose to fix holes in converted to voxels coud, it doesn't work for me at all.
Even on small mesh
it's everytime just throw error.

maybe it need to be posted as separate issue?

from filetovox.

I recommend to convert in a binary PLY instead of a ASCII PLY to reduce the file size (more compressed). I will check the fill-holes option but keep in mind it will fill hole of 1x1 or 2x1 (very small holes). If in your .vox file you have bigger holes, you need to increase the density of your points. If you use CloudCompare to do this with your model, I would say you need something like 40M of points. I don’t know how much you have set with your precedent result. But there’s definitely some errors to check in my side

from filetovox.

I'm used binary, it's first button, I'm actually didn't knew whats difference (askii it's text probably, as obj file, i dunno)
So mesh with size about 2000x2000, and amount of points is 100 000 000 (it's what i used, it's wont let you set bigger number, i guess, except if you use density ratio instead)
ply file is big, ~2gb, it's not problem,
it's also converts fast, and ok, except this

as i wrote before, i dunno why, program not throw this error if mesh is smaller.

and there is still holes, but small ones, as you told, 1-2 voxels

i guess fix holes exactly why i need in this situation

Hello, can you test this future version and tell me if it correct the problems you had ?
FileToVox-v1.9.4.1.zip

from filetovox.

Hi! I've checked fill holes flag, no errors.
Then i decided to check if it actually fixes holes. Tried to convert that landscape from 2gb ply to voxels, it's converts with one error in log, and results is dummy file.

it says for some reason that total blocks after conversion is 0

i tried scale 0.95, result is same

from filetovox.

Do we still talk about this terrain ? I've manually converted your OBJ file into a PLY and made some test.
I converted with the same argument as you and I didn't have any errors. (The scale isn't the same tho)
I you can upload your 2Gb file I could probably better see the problem.

from filetovox.

No, this one i was able to convert from obj, but then decided to make new one.
We talking about new one, https://github.com/Zarbuz/FileToVox/files/4742619/landscape3.zip
But this file not scaled to whole world.

i tested on this landscp.zip
you can try yo convert to ply, i used 100 000 000 points,
or there is my conversion to ply https://mega.nz/file/zXZkUCiT#4GJ82Y0z_NZWglaBqb4ow2rqS_qTkuYBLkIC6oUtQj4
if this file still will be needed, in case you don't have mega account (it probably won't let you download it because it big, if they didn't changed this stupid rule) i will upload on something else
