Add support for other formats

Open stuarta0 opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Upon release there have been a few requests for other format support:

  • Meshroom
  • openMVS
  • COLMAP native format

Implementing these would also enable automated meshing, thus removing the Meshlab step if users wanted a textured mesh.

There's another project that supports importing these formats here: https://github.com/SBCV/Blender-Addon-Photogrammetry-Importer

Then it'll be a matter of ensuring the binaries for each software are distributable across linux and windows. Alternatively, modify the plugin to allow external binaries for each software; configured in the user prefs.
