Renders/screenshots for each photogrammetry recipe stage

[blundellj]

Create images of the state of the model/point cloud after each stage of the photogrammetry recipe (align, mesh, raw_clean) to speed up review/qc. It would be helpful to have both images of the model with and without texture.

Manual approach in MetaShape

• Screen shot
  • View menu> Capture view (Or Right Click on model view pane and select capture view)
• Render video
  • See "Camera track creation and fly through video rendering" help page
    • View>Animation (enable pane)
    • Set key points
    • Render

Using Mesh lab

• Export the model from photoscan, with texture - OBJ format works well
• Use File -> Import Mesh... in MeshLab to open your model
• Orient the model in MeshLab to get the view you want
• Use File -> Save Snapshot to export the view as a PNG (which you can then convert to another format)
• In the save snapshot dialog, bump up the Screen Multiplier value to get the desired resolution
