Advanced Photogrammetry for VFX
This
is Timothy Hanson from MAXDEPTH.tv, and I’m here today to introduce you
to our most ambitious training series to date, “Advanced Photogrammetry
for VFX”. In addition to over four hours of in depth hands on training,
I’ll also be giving you over 1,600 high resolution images so you can
follow along with me as we create some breathtaking photogrammetry using
the groundbreaking new software Reality Capture.
We’ll
kick things off with an introduction to the gear you’ll need to capture
data for photogrammetry, and then segue into an introduction to the
principals of photography and shooting with DSLR’s and the DJI Mavic 2
Pro drone focusing on the big three Aperture, ISO, and shutter speed.
We’ll break down the way they work together and against each other in
the pursuit of the perfect exposure.
From
there we will start with the first of three case studies focusing on
variables you’ll encounter in your own quest for the perfect
photogrammetry data set. First focusing on the ideal situation created
by shooting in a studio environment using soft boxes and a turntable.
Next we will break down how to make the most of an imperfect shooting
environment, before diving into our master project recreating an
ornately detailed architectural landmark.
Along
the way we will touch on re-topology and mesh cleanup in Zbrush, as
well as perfecting our textures in Mari before ultimately creating our
final renders in Vray for Maya.
I’m
extremely excited to bring this ambitious new training series to you,
and I look forward to seeing all the amazing things you’ll create.
Thanks!
