I want to use photometry to do some material scans. Can anyone recommend software? I am planning a multi-light setup and so far I have only worked with 123d catch which isn't really appropriate for fine surfacing information.
try recap360 - Its the grown up 123dcatch, subscription, but you can do a trial month.
also photoscan is pretty amazing if you have the workstation to utilize it
there's some open source stuff too, but from my recollection it was pretty tricky to set up
I was looking at photoscan but I couldn't find the feature set I wanted. For a flat surface, getting fine scale detail, using one camera position and multiple lights seems like a better solution than multiple camera angles. As best I can tell, photoscan doesn't support that.
I don't think Photoscan supports that, but I don't know of any publicly available software that does either. AFAIK, that's similar to how Quixel's Megascans scanner works, but they have proprietary software to generate the actual scans.
