When I'll have the project clear, I'll move this to a board / trello / kanban or to my website somewhere, as this is one of the fundations of the project

Current

• https://github.com/MmgTools/mmg
• https://github.com/wjakob/instant-meshes
• https://github.com/hjwdzh/QuadriFlow
• https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab

Future

• https://github.com/hjwdzh/Manifold
• https://github.com/openMVG/openMVG
• https://github.com/cdcseacave/openMVS
• https://github.com/colmap/colmap

Is there something to be done?

• https://github.com/GeometryCollective/boundary-first-flattening
• https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom
• https://github.com/hangong/deshadow
• https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/DeLightingTool
• https://github.com/kmkolasinski/AwesomeBump
• https://github.com/Theverat/NormalmapGenerator
• https://github.com/BoundingBoxSoftware/Materialize

If you have any suggestion about such software / interesting papers, let me know !! I won't implement full procedures in C++, but I can definitely interface a command line call !

Hello, i do not know if an integration is possible but there are some free and open source projects that seems very interesting.

• "de light" textures to create albedo colormaps:

Careful now, Loïc, don't burn out. :-)

Haha! Thank you guys!!!

I'll have a closer look at your suggestions @AndreaMonzini , but let me first setup everything and start to get some user feedback to decide the directions I'll take. Thank you very much for the links though !

Don't worry @tin2tin , I'm just rushing everything right now, and will slow down for a bit when I'll have some valid tutorials and announcements ! It must get boring to hear that by now, but thanks for your support !

@AndreaMonzini I did not make my thoughts clear on that one I guess :)

I have actually never used any of the tools you listed. And in my mind, I wanted to think about the softwares I could easily interface in the addon with command lines.

I have a few other similar, I'll update the issue to reflect new ideas, although this will probably move to a trello / project / website page to better separate issues with roadmaps with ideas...

Still thanks!
