This appears to be the result of a self-inflicted wound. I have been working this morning with one data set of six specimens and 3.2 million vertices and 5.5 million faces and a single specimen with 2.6 million vertices and 5.2 million faces.
Try this. Go into the morpheus directory and with a text editor remove the -Xmx1G parameter from: morpheus.bat (for windows) morpheus.sh (for Max or Linux) This specifies one gigabyte of heap memory for Morpheus. This is a LOT when working with landmarks (the only supported data type when the scripts were written), but not so much for surfaces. On my system running 64bit Java, the default allocation is 5.4 gigabytes, and some of the above data push that limit. Of course, the above are also near the limit of the graphics card, so adding one or more specimens scan to the six object data set could break the graphics display. I think that is why I have a subset of five files in my directory from a set of more scans - six or seven ran the graphics card out of memory (512MB), but I haven't checked -ds On Saturday, July 11, 2015 at 6:54:23 AM UTC-4, Abel Bosman wrote: > > Dear all, > > My name is Abel Bosman and I am quite new (as of 2 weeks ago) to geometric > morphometrics, so my question might be a bit silly. > > I wanted to use the program "Morpheus et al." to analyze my data on human > mandibles, obtained from a NextEngine 3D scanner.
