Splat Workshop 0.6.1 – pick the upright picture on import

Bring your own splats to the Frame – 0.6.1 shows a picture for each way up on import, so you simply pick the upright one; scenes made from photos in Spirula Studio no longer end up on their side. 615 automated tests.

Highlights of 0.6

• 📥 Import your own splats – ＋ Import a splat … above the finished scenes turns a splat file from another program into a scene like the others: copy it to the Frame, make versions, clean it up or make a mesh. Reads .ply, .sog, .spz, .splat and .ksplat; the file itself is not changed. (Asked for in #2 – thanks!)
  • Which way is up: pick the picture in which the scene stands upright (since 0.6.1).
  • Size: a factor, e.g. 0.01 for a file in centimetres – a reconstruction from photos has no real scale of its own.
  • The preview in the Frame's gallery comes from the top view.
• 🐛 The page updates again – in 0.5.1 a finished job stayed on "Converting …" until you reloaded the page.

All details: 0.6.0

New in 0.6.1

• 🖼️ Pick the upright picture – the import dialog shows a small picture for each choice, the scene as it would stand on the Frame seen from its start. Our guess is preselected and marked. The choices say what you see: Upright in Blender (Z up), Like the Workshop's and the Frame's scenes (Y down), Upside down (Y up).
• 🐛 Photo scenes from Spirula Studio lay on their side – 0.6.0 said Spirula Studio files have Y down and preselected that. That only holds for the Frame's own scenes, which are aligned to its tracking; a scene Spirula Studio makes from photos alone has Z up. The dialog now says so, and the guess picks Z up for such files.
