Hello!
I am trying to generate a model from a set of 63 pictures.
I've done that a dozen of times before.

I started to compute the Meshing node this morning at 8.52 it's now 13.18 and nothing new happened in the log since 9.06 'compute boykov-kolmogorov_max_flow'
My hard drive is constantly making sound as if something was happening.
the task manager is showing that Meshroom is using the processor.
there is no red message in the task manager 'not answering' or such.
the latest message of the console is: WARNING:root:Retrying to obtain clipboard.

Yesterday I already tried to compute that step and I quitted after 1.5 hour. I thought it has crashed or something.

It has never done that before, usually I think that the meshing step takes 20 minutes.

Should I stop? Is it a bug? Could something come out after a while?
Thanks for your advices

You are probably reaching the limit of your RAM and then your computer use SWAP which takes huge amount of time.

I am redoing it now with a lower maxPoint value.

Is there a way to know if I am still reaching the limit of my RAM?


thanks

Check the resources statistics on the Meshing node:
