how do I see the final mesh result ?
Describe the problem
- after 5 hrs of processing, I get just a points cloud, no mesh, no matter where I click
- then I save the project, everything is just gone. I got to restart everything
Screenshots
Desktop (please complete the following and other pertinent information):
- OS: win10
- Python version : 3.7.4

Double click on the Texturing node
Your work is not gone, it is located in the temp folder which is set by default when you open Meshroom. (c:/users/yourusername/appdata/local/temp/meshroomcache To get your progress back, do the following: Copy the MeshroomCache folder from C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Temp\MeshroomCache and place it in the same directory you saved the Meshroom Project to.
For the future: it is best to save a project prior starting computation. I would also recommend to place source images in a folder next to the meshroom project file. Side Note: in case the ViewID Method in the CameraInit node is set to "from filename" instead of the default "from metadata" (when there is no metadata for example), moving the input images from one location to another will break the progress. It is possible to fix it, but it requires adjusting the paths in the node files and the project file. So it is best to start with a well structured project first.
"Double click on the Texturing node" something tells me I am not the only one posting the same question before :-)
now the end result is "meh"
Taking a closer look at your screenshot I see you probably converted a video sequence (?) to images. Also your camera movement is random. You can get far better results in a way shorter time by systematically capturing images around your figure and follow the best practices for capturing images for photogrammetry. I approximate ~30 images will give you a pretty good model. Look through some tutorials collected here to find the relevant information https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/wiki/Tutorials
