About FlowEngine image output

[tyucocoro]

FlowEngine has an image output function.How is it output?? Also, can the angle and position of the model be specified when outputting images?

Sorry for my bad English! I'm waiting for your answer.?

Hi tyucocoro - Welcome to the forum! Here's what I found in the FlowEngine documentation regarding Image Input/Output:

https://www.3dflow.net/flowengine/documentation/class_flow_engine_1_1_image_i_o.html

Control points will be needed to automatically constrain the model transformations :

I hope this helps - Let us know if you have any further questions :-)

Thank you cam3d ! I'd like to ask a few more questions in more detail.

I want to create a 3D mesh in FlowEngine and output the mesh as an image.

I would like to know how to do this.

I would also like to know if it is possible to change the orientation of the 3D mesh to the desired orientation when outputting the image.

I'm sorry to keep repeating myself, but thank you in advance.

Hi again tyucocoro

I want to create a 3D mesh in FlowEngine and output the mesh as an image.

- By image do you mean output 2D JPEG, PNG etc... or do you mean 3D (OBJ, FBX etc..)??

I would also like to know if it is possible to change the orientation of the 3D mesh to the desired orientation when outputting the image.

- Yes this is possible using control points. The control points are placed in the scene and used as reference to orient and scale the subject.


FlowEngine is not my specialty so I'm going to tag Andrea Alessi who might be able to help further :-)

Hi cam3d

I would like to output in JPEG or PNG format.

I see that it is possible to change the orientation of the mesh by using control points. Understood.

Thanks again and again for answering my questions.?

I believe you mean if you can export directly a screenshot. If so, no, because flowengine is a minimal SDK only focused in the 3D reconstruction. To create a screenshot is trivial, as you'll simply need to create a view with the renderer of your choice within your project. Flowengine does not depend on any renderer by design, so it can be run headless and can be integrated anywhere.

If instead you mean if you can export the texture in png or jpg, indeed you can - see the documentation for texture generation.
