For users who are not comfortable following the installation steps, I would recommend providing pre-built binaries.
These could be hosted on the releases page of this GitHub repository.

I suppose that this would greatly help with the adoption of this software, as there are not a lot of free and open source photogrametry software of such quality.

Hi Steren,
Can't agree more regarding binaries ! We are currently working on this (for AliceVision/Meshroom) and target the end of June for a release.

Hi there.

We are in mid July, how are the binaries going? :)

Cheers!

Yes, we are almost ready but there is always one more thing to fix before the release ;)

Release an alpha or beta with bugs and problems, let us suffer it! ;)

Can't wait to try the binaries, you guys are amazing for doing all this! :D

I can hardly wait to DL the binaries for Linux and Windows (why not?). Installing the application the long way leaves a lot of room for something to go wrong in the installation. Which I think has for me since the UI in my install is not accepting image files.

juangea commented Jul 27, 2018

Pleeeeeease! Make a release :)

@christopherweinberg

Yes! I just found Meshroom and am trying it out for the first time. The install is a heavy lift but the initial results are promising. A binary release will close the loop between the creatives and the techies.

@AlexKucera

I would also love a build. It does not have to be perfect. Just label it beta and everyone will understand if it lacks a bit of polish. I tried building it myself (for macOS), but I simply do not have the time to try and fix all these depency errors and stuff.

I would suggest to add system requirements too, i sadly just discovered that AMD GPU seems not supported.

Looking for windows binaries too. If I compile the project on my pc is it possible to post the resulting exe program as a binary?

We’ve been postponing the release (with linux and windows binaries) for a few weeks, but it should be out this week.

@fabiencastan

Great!!! This is going to be awesome.

Did you solve the mapping problem to be able to calculate the textures even with a super low poly version of the model?

@fabiencastan

It will not be in this release (to not postpone it again) but I'm currently working on it.
I just get the first results this morning but it's not yet finished.
It will take time to test it on more data sets and adjust...

juangea commented Jul 29, 2018

Awesome!

Yes, don´t postpone because of this, let us play with it already!

I have several possible scenes to test :)

@fabiencastan I have seen that meshroom has been talked a lot on twitter with blender3d people I follow and general 3d artists/makers. I suggest you to make an official patreon cause you might get some donations after the release of the binaries cause people have been waiting a lot for your great software! 😄

@bryceartstew
Copy link

@fabiencastan @yann-lty and anyone else working on this project, thank you for the time and energy to make binaries for Windows/macOS/Linux because I've tried to compile this myself and its wasting me away. I've been using a website called Altizure but they render the scans oddly and make it difficult for me to clean the models up. I've used the paid software and they do work, I just can't afford them yet as this is a hobby for me. Patiently waiting for something my creative mind can use.

Also @fabiencastan is correct about the amount Meshroom has popped up in the 3d modeling world lately. A patreon would serve you all well if money is an incentive because this is the type of software the community loves to give to.

@bryceartstew @alcurb: For Arch-Linux you can try my packages meshroom/alice-vision@AUR, I can also create snap/flatpak for alice-vision/meshroom witch will provide for other distors 😊

  • Edit the PKGBUILD for opemgv-git and change the second checksum to SKIP [Opengv isn't mine, so I can't fix it immediately]
  • openblas-lapack@AUR provides all blas/lapack/cblas - replacing those is fine.

@bartoszek any chance for appimage?

@bartoszek

@verbal007 Yep, opengv-git is missing dependency python2-numpy.
Please modify opengv-git PKGBUILD accordingly, and rebuild (already poke a maintainer to fix this)

-depends=('boost-libs' 'eigen>=3' 'python2')
+depends=('boost-libs' 'eigen>=3' 'python2' 'python2-numpy')

We only use opengv c++ library (and not the python or matlab bindings, would be nice to have it optional in the packaging system with opengv, opengv_python, opengv_matlab).

Packaging for snap/flatpak would be a really great contribution!

@bartoszek : Learning about build packages... slowly but surely.

The installation seems to have completed, though there's the message at the end (is it a fatal error?):

:: Processing package changes...

To test it, I found the installation location and when I execute Meshroom, this is what I get :

Ok, I have incorporated a more systematic solution:
strace -e trace=open,openat Meshroom 2>&1|grep '/usr/lib/qt/'|cut -d'"' -f2|pacman -Qo -|cut -d' ' -f4|sort -u & sleep 3; pkill Meshroom
which spills out those, on my system:

qt5-3d
qt5-base
qt5-declarative
qt5-graphicaleffects
qt5-imageformats
qt5-location
qt5-quickcontrols
qt5-quickcontrols2
qt5-svg

This should deplete qt deps for Meshroom, at least those pulled directly I've tested it on Manjaro live 😏
@verbal007 test the package now.

Hi,

Thanks for all the hard work on cleaning up the build process! Just confirming for you that I was able to build the Release/MD build on windows. I followed the latest version of the instructions, and everything worked.

In the past I had some issues, in particular with vcpkg having the incorrect/older versions. But at the moment Release/MD is working on Windows. There are some issues with Debug builds and static linking. Are you going to be supporting those configurations?

John

@verbal007

@bartoszek : !! SUCCESS !!

Ran a set of images and it completed with results. Now I have to set aside appropriate time to dig in and play with this... hoping I can get some better results with the furry beast I just tested Meshroom on.

Thank you for all your help. Finally, Meshroom feels like... like it's real! 👍

@bartoszek , well Sir, if you are Siggraph/Vancouver next week... we can buy each other a drink (tea/coffee/whatever). I noticed that Alicevision is having a meetup in a conference room on Monday at 3:30pm PST. You can reach me directly via contact form on my site verbal007.com. tips hat Sincerely appreciate the manjaro builds (not just this one). Will fill you in if/when I have a chance to test it on my other machines.

@johnhable
Copy link

@ras0219-msft: These were problems about two months ago, that are fixed now. IIRC OpenImageIO was on version 1.7, which wasn't working because Alicevision requires 1.8 functionality. It works now, at least for MD.

For Debug builds or statically linked builds, there are still several issues, but I don't want to spam the list if it's not a priority.

@juangea Habemus Binaries !

Meshroom 2018.1.0 is finally available for download on Windows and Linux, as an all-in-one package that contains AliceVision and all required resources.
Thank you all for your support and involvement, we can't wait to get your feedback on this release and see your 3D scan results !

Got it! Downloaded all 400MB, loaded up some photos and am currently processing on Manjaro (linux) XFCE. Nice one... and just in time for Siggraph. See you soon. ;)

I am able to run Meshroom binary with my Linux but unfortunately my AMD GPU ( RX 580) is not supported to complete the reconstruction. I hope in a future AMD GPU support ( with users contributions), maybe with the AMD HIP porting.

@AlexKucera

@yann-lty is the lack of binaries for Mac due to you not having a Mac available? Or was there just no time to get a build up?

I see. Thanks. I do sport a Mac Pro with an Nvidia card, but my last attempt at building failed unfortunately and I didn't have enough time to resolve all the build errors (plus lack of experience in that area). I'll play with the other builds for now. Thanks.

Hi, just saw informations about meshroom on youtube and want to try it out.
Sadly i do not find an meshroom.exe file in the win64 zip file. Is somewhere a documentation or video that shows what i have to do so i can start it on windows?

@RandAlThor70 In the file Meshroom-2018.1.0-win64.zip you will see a folder called Meshroom-2018.1.0 copy that folder into another directory, like your desktop. This will uncompress it. Now enter the folder on the desktop that you just copied and you will see a file called Meshroom.exe run it and you can now use meshroom!

@TDigital

Hi, are there any plans to have Meshroom support AMD GPUs in the future via OpenCL or otherwise?

@RandAlThor70

@ChemicalXandco Thank you for the information.
I think i have the wrong file and download it again.
Unpacking a folder is something a have done once or twice in the last twenty years :)
