Agisoft Metashape Workflow

1. Add Photos - Keep these in one labelled folder.
2. Align Photos - This process estimates camera locations within a 3D space.
3. Build Dense Cloud - Adds further data to the cloud of points.
4. Build mesh - Connects points of our dense cloud to create a mesh.
5. Build Texture - The original images are merged and wrapped around our mesh to create a photorealistic model/space. 6. Export – .obj format
7. Import – Rhino
