Comments on Constructor Developer Tool for Android
★★★★★
Reactive vertex color Thanks for update but when map got big texture creation become to slow and result have low res on big mesh because texture is always 2048, please add an option to choose between vertex color and texture and mesh can use multiple texture for better results
★★★★★
Yes, thank you! Only suggestion so far: Please have it keep the screen on or at least show a notice. I lost my first scan because I did not notice the screen dimming then shut off. Now time for more testing! Update: it actually saves to device if the card was not installed at first run. Does not seem to export vertex color. But I really like it, thanks.
★★★★★
Almost there Great app. Doesn't handle bright light well. Would also like to scan outdoors. Paracosm has a video of it being done (using project tango phone). Is it possible ? Also, making it possible to export as an Autodesk recap supported file would be great for post-processing. Other than that I'm seeing progress and this is the best app for project tango so far.
★★★★★
Working great on the Asus Zen phone AR, but the phone does get hot. There are the usual limitations of the technology and one needs to be careful not to lose tracking and to give the device time to build a good model. I think this is a glimpse into the future of content creation. Only gripe is that I can't export the point cloud, that the mesh is clearly based on as a separate file.
★★★★★
Does a good job with quick scans. Long detailed scans seem to crash the app or the mesh is not rendered properly, but this app is advertised as experimental, so crashes are expected. I hope to see further development. I'm running this on an Asus ZenFone AR.
★★☆☆☆
This application is very unstable. Crashes all over the place. The best part is, that it's only possible to access the recorded model data by sharing. Sharing itself crashes with most of the models I access. Don't expect a scan quality as shown in the pictures above. In reality the quality is very bad. Text like Cookeville above can't be read with the Asus Zenfone AR. Then, that the application exports ADF data is not true. The few models I was able to export don't contain an ADF file. This app reflects the state of Tango in general very well.
★★☆☆☆
Horrible. Doesn't work at all on Asus Zenfone AR. Crashes back to main screen (with no message or error) every time the "plus" button is pressed to try to do a scan. Unusable.
★★☆☆☆
Not working on Phab 2 Pro Crashes immediately when clicking + to create a new mesh. :(
