I'm looking for a tool to pull export the Spacial-media mesh out of a lenovo 180 3D camera

[Paul Eckhardt]

It would be paid! - I'd like it in a file format I could open in blender 3D.

[Mike Swanson]

I have an internal tool that I wrote. If you're willing to point me to a file, I'm willing to see if it'll extract the mesh. It extracts to OBJ format.

Here's a file; it's from the lenovo daydream 180 camera - I'd be curious what sort of mesh it pulls out. With obj, would that include the UV, or just the mesh? I really need both.

That works perfectly; how do I buy you a pizza?

[Mike Swanson]

No need, but thanks for the thought. It's a great test of the tool to try someone else's file, so thank you too!

Would I be able to bother you for meshes of the YI Horizon in the future?

[Mike Swanson]

No bother at all. Just send me a link to the file when you're ready. It only takes me a few minutes.

Hi Mike 

I work in media conservation and I'm really interested in being able to extract the mesh from spatial media- is there any way you can make your tool available or tell us a little bit more about it? 

Thanks!

[Mike Swanson]

Good morning, Jack. Thanks for writing.

The "tool" is actually a collection of scripts and an Xcode project that I have to nurse through each extraction. It wouldn't be obvious at all how to use them, unfortunately.

I built the tool for our own playback system before Google released its official VR180 spec.

The mesh extraction is mostly a matter of looking through their Spherical Video V2 spec and thinking through how to output that in a more common format like .obj.

Thanks so much for getting back to me, it's really interesting stuff. 

I'm really interested in seeing a mesh visualisation of en equi angular cube map vs standard cube map- is that something you could help with? 

[Mike Swanson]

We have our own code to generate 360º EAC models, but honestly, we haven't seen enough improvement in visual fidelity to make them worthwhile. We create the models at runtime, so I don't have any .obj-style meshes for them. If you have a file that you think has an EAC mesh included, I'm happy to at least see if it's something that I can extract.

Mike

[Mike Swanson]

Good morning, Jack.

I ran across this video this morning, and I remembered that you were interested in an EAC mesh. I've attached a frame from the video along with its OBJ. Enjoy.

Mike
