RealityCapture | Aim Support Center

Preparation: Add a custom camera position exporter to RealityCapture. Open the following file with a text editor, such as Notepad:

C:\Program Files\Capturing Reality\RealityCapture\calibration.xml

We recommend making a backup of the file before changing it. Scroll down to the end of the file, and insert

<format id="{D33CD455-3AE5-420E-B67D-B76A8B323290}" mask="*.csv" descID="9001"

(Note that writer="cvs" in the snippet is not a typo for "csv", see RealityCapture documentation.

The syntax of RealityCapture's calibration.xml files is unfortunately not documented, and it does not seem to contain a proper CSV exporter. Thus your image file names must not contain double-quotes, as they will not be properly CSV-escaped.)

The result should look similar to this

(but use the link provided above for the text, do not type down the contents of the screenshot):

Provide AIM with an export folder containing the following:

A textured OBJ
1. Ensure your mesh has approximately 1M triangles. More can be too much for smartphone browsers.
2. Ensure you have created textures using the correct settings:

In the Mesh Model tab, in section Mesh Color & Texture, choose Settings

and set:

Maximal texture resolution: 4096 x 4096
Maximal texture count: 10

(higher counts are acceptable but will result in longer loading times)

In the Mesh Model tab, in section Export, choose Dense Mesh Model

Export the file as "model.obj" into a folder "mesh".

The camera positions and

In the Alignment tab, in section Export, choose Registration.

Save the file as "realitycapture-cameras.csv" with AIM CSV format (this format is only present afteryou followed the "Preparation" step above and restarted RealityCapture).
