I have tried both traditional and command line and my PCPainter just keeps crashing at “Building octree”, is there anything I can do? I have a Civil 3D CAD laptop:
Yes I do check that FAQ on PCPainter webpage, but this thing is related to PCPainter crash if your file has more than 1,400 photos, try it yourself, I bet you won’t get.
I did try to split into 2 batch process but got some erros in trajetory file and decided this is not a good way to go.
My successfull workaround was to delete those unused photos during takeoff, landng, battery changing… well, I did reduce from 1,400 to 1,100 and guess what? No crashes on PCPainter.
Before I also tried those CML commands Harrison recomended, but, still no good.
This is really a software imitation issue, e or maybe hardware (BTW I’m running in a AMD Ryzen 9 with 16GB ram and RTX Geforce 2060.
Hey thank you for writing out what steps you took and writing out your specs on your machine- its really helpful to get the whole picture- so removing the takeoff landing and battery changes did the trick? Glad to hear that you were able to process after the photo removal
We’ve done plenty of flights over 1400 images and never ran into this issue. The largest flight we’ve done to-date had 3600 images and PCPainter processed it without any issues.
