  • In LoadPoints visual editor missing transform bug has been fixed.

Licenses

  • You can still use your existing R3DS licenses to activate Wrap. If such Nodelocked or Floating licenses would be found on your computer, they would be silently used to activate latest products, if possible. The more accurate scheme is: - If there is a new Faceform license already in the newest Faceform settings, then nothing will change. - If there is no old licenses on your computer, the License Dialog will work as previously. - If there is an old license on your computer, and there are no new, an old license would be taken and used as a new one. - Anytime, running Wrap, you still can go to License >> Activate License to activate new license instead of the old one.

Wrap 3.3.11

Released 24 November 2017

New Nodes

IconOpticalFlowWrapping OpticalFlowWrapping

Uses optical flow to fit a textured basemesh to a textured scan. The node can be used to fit a neutral mesh of an actor’s face to 3D scans of his facial expressions. It renders pairs of images of both models from different angles and finds optical flow between the images. For each image pair it generates a set of decisions on where to more each pixel. All the decisions are then combined into a global solution.

IconApplySubset ApplySubset

Works in pair with a Subset node. Copies vertex positions of the subset back to original mesh. The topology and the vertex order of the subset geometry should not be modified.

Functionality

  • Command Line Interface

    Wrap can be run through a command line interface. Find more about command line arguments here.

Functionality

  • Camera to World Axis Alignment

    Click S key in a 3D-viewport to align camera rotation to the nearest world axes. Lets you quickly align the camera to Front, Left, Right, Top, Bottom and Back views.

Bug Fixes

  • SelectPointPairs: clicking on a model to set a point sometimes missed the proper polygon and set the point behind it.

  • Fit to View with LoadGeom node being selected caused to crash if there were no geometry loaded.

  • SubdivideGeom: the node didn’t preserve materials.

  • RigidAlignment: the node ignored transformation of the left input.

  • Clicking Tab or Delete while connecting nodes caused to crash.

Wrap 3.0.3

Released 5 September 2016

Functionality

  • Node-Graph Workflow

    Wrap 3 is the first step toward node-graph based scan processing. By creating and connecting nodes it allows you to define a recipe of how a scan should be processed and later apply the recipe to dozens of new scans.

  • Project saving

    Projects can now be saved to .wrap file. Internally the file has JSON text format. The structure of the file is simple enough so that one can easily edit node parameters, create and connect nodes using text editor or Python script. That provides access to basic automation.

  • Undo/Redo

    Undo/redo system allows undoing of most operations using Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y.

  • Enhanced Wrapping Algorithm

    The wrapping algorithm is much faster and much more robust now.

  • Viewports Synchronization

    When using SelectPointPairs node the left and right views can now be synchronized to speed up selection processing.

  • Enhanced Points Editor

    While working with SelectPointPairs node editor one can click and drag a point and adjust its position. Any point can be removed with Ctrl + LMB.

  • Enhanced Polygons Editor

    When working with SelectPolygons node editor the following new operations are supported:

    • double click selects a set of connected polygons

    • Shift + LMB or lasso selection adds new polygons to selection

    • Ctrl + LMB or lasso selection removes polygons from selection

    • Shift + double click near selected polygons will create a loop selection (only for manifold geometry)

    • +Polygroup/-Polygroup button adds/removes selection from polygroup

    • +Material/-Material button adds/removes selection from material

  • Node Graph Editor

    • Click Tab to show the list of all the nodes that can be created. To create the node choose one from the list or start typing its name and press Return when the desired node appears in look-up menu.

    • Click on an output then click on an input or vice-versa to connect two nodes.

    • Left-click on connection then Disconnect from context menu to disconnect nodes.

    • Hold down MMB over a node to see node information and errors.

    • Hold a mouse over a node input to see input name and type.

  • Batch Processing

    At the bottom of Wrap window there is a time line. Every loading node (like LoadGeom or LoadImage) allows to select a sequence of file names. When you switch between the frames of the time line the loading nodes will be recalculated to load new file from the list. Each saving node (like SaveGeom of SaveImage) allows to insert # sign inside an output file name. For example ‘WrappedBasemesh###.obj’. When you click ‘Compute current frame’ Wrap will substitute # signs with the current frame number producing ‘WrappedBasemesh001.obj’ In order to process multiple frames in batch mode create and connect the output of your recipe to saving node then click ‘Compute frame range’ inside the node editor. Each frame is computed in parallel in separate process. If you want to compute multiple saving nodes at a time please use main menu Nodes > Compute All.

Known Issues and Workarounds

  • Texture and Geometry projection

    Texture and geometry projection slows down significantly when target geometry contains some huge polygons that overlap big number of small polygons. Such models are often produced by RC. You can remove large polygons beforehand.

  • Small models

    Point selection and some other operations may suffer from loss of precision if a model has very small scale. The default units in Wrap are centimeters. You often face small-scale problem when trying to load scans that were saved in meters. Up-scaling the scan by changing ‘Scale’ parameter of LoadGeom node will take no effect. Up-scale the scan and save it in new units, then load saved file and use it.

  • Wrapping

    There’s no termination button for wrapping process yet.
