Map Pilot and Maps Made Easy Terrible Marshmallow Result

We don't generally recommend using circular flight. As noted in our Data Collection guidelines which are agreed to at the time of upload:

"Never Fly Backwards or Sideways - Collect all of your data while traveling forward. Most aerial cameras have rolling shutters and mixing forward and backward flight ruins the chances of the job turning out well."

I don't know what marshmallow like would be describing but make sure you are looking at the full resolution 3D model in Meshlab or something like that, not just the web preview. 

Hi Zane,

Thanks for the response. I had an issue using the orbits, and used only the flat flight pictures that I took through Map Pilot.

I would like to get a file that appears in a similar way to the web preview, with the full colours. In MeshLab, I get an all-white structure.

This is what I mean by marshmallow-like. Any suggestions?

Make sure you download the MTL and JPG texture file into the same directory as the OBJ file so Meshlab can find them. They are what does the color mapping.

This is the result that I am getting out of MeshLab. I am not sure why my structure looks like this. It is quite frustrating as I bought the business version and bought points to do this.

Do you think that there was an issue with the stitching? The 2D map looks alright, but the 3D looks like this. I selected full 3D render when processing (which was an extra 0.5x points)

I flew using a grid mission in Map Pilot Business, with a lot of overlap, as seen in the picture. My average altitude was 156.7 ft.
