Version Changelog
Version 25.1.2
Bugfixes
Fixed Authentication issue when installing on multiple computers with the same account
Fixed module database connection issue affecting a small number of customers
Version 25.1.0
Bugfixes
In multi-light capture setups, photogrammetry images average all lighting conditions instead of using just the first
Pause returns jobs to the front of the queue instead of to the available pool
Features
[NEW] Transitioned from License Keys to M-XR Accounts
[NEW] Configuration Presets are bound to your account, so can be shared between machines.
v0.1 Marso Command Line Interface
Tweaks
Updated loading screen
Documentation overhaul
Version 25.0.1
Features
[NEW] Photogrammetry images brightness can be adjusted before they are generated, as well as their filetype and output directory.
[NEW] Jobs that have already had photogrammetry images generated can regenerate them using the Develop tab in the configure dialog.
Added an ‘Export ZIP’ button to make it easier to collect data for support when jobs fail
Bugfixes
Fixed jobs reporting Failed if the user directory contains non-ascii characters, now supports most latin languages.
Improved readability of some error messages
Version 24.5.4
Workflow
Added a new check to processing to ensure all raw files in a job have consistent exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture, ISO), the process will error now if the values are not consistent
Performance
Improved the GPU utilisation of one of the processing modules, resulting in a notable performance improvement
Features
Marso and Updater are now signed with a self signed certificate (M-XR Ltd)
Bugfixes
Fixed an issue where the default type filter for the ST Map explorer window would be not set correctly for RealityCapture
Fixed an issue where the
ESCkey would not work in the photography calibration rectangle selection window, now you can back out of the program back to the main GUIFixed an issue where the extension dropdown list would not refresh when creating a second job with the same raw images folder as the first job
Fixed an issue where during deletion of a job if a user very quickly selected another job during the deletion it would remove the newly selected job from the list but leave the original
Version 24.5.2
Workflow
Photogrammetry images can be produced without creating an Exposure Params preset
Exposure Params Preset and Light System can be re-assigned in the configure dialog rather than being fixed after job creation
Jobs can now be sorted by most recent interaction
License key will be populated on start-up if installed with the updater
Marso logs will now roll-over daily instead of creating a single massive log file
Bugfixes
Exposure Preset creation would hang if started while a job was running
N.B. Some Finished jobs may need to be re-configured before they can be queued again, if they were created on a previous version of Marso
Version 24.5.0
Results
