This guide explains how to export a tileset from Agisoft Metashape so it can be uploaded into Twinsity.
Follow these steps to generate the required files before creating a new project in Twinsity.
Before uploading to Twinsity, ensure you have all of the following:
File Type | Format | Notes |
3D Tileset | .3TZ | Cesium 3D Tiles |
Camera Parameters | Block Exchange .XML | Must use WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) |
Original Images | .JPG or .PNG | All images used in reconstruction |
All three are required for a successful upload.
Add your images to the project.
Go to Workflow → Align Photos.
Adjust alignment settings as required.
Run photo alignment.
Important
If you move the point cloud, you must realign photos and rebuild the model.
If you move the entire mesh, restart again from Align Photos.
Go to Workflow → Build Tiled Model.
Adjust quality settings as required.
Run the tiled model generation.
Go to File → Export Cameras…
Select Block Exchange (*.xml) as the export format.
Choose a filename and click Save.
In the export dialogue:
Set coordinate system to WGS 84 (EPSG:4326)
Uncheck all “Export Parameters” options
Click OK to generate the .xml file.
Go to File → Export Tiled Model
Select Cesium 3D Tiles 1.1 (*.3tz).
Choose a filename and click Save.
Keep all default parameters.
Click OK to generate the .3tz file.
Note: Cesium 3D Tiles are always exported in WGS 84 by design. Selecting a different coordinate system is not possible.
Before uploading to Twinsity, confirm that:
The .3tz tileset file is present
The camera parameter .xml file includes all images
The original image folder is complete and unchanged
Do not rename or modify exported files or folders.
Once your files are ready, return to Uploading Your First Project and follow the upload steps for Agisoft Metashape exports.
