The neutral background is just messing with Photoscan's "depth perception." The setup you had was actually pretty good. The counter to this is, after you've taken your series of photos, with the object on it's turntable (and a stationary camera), you take a final photo without the gnome. You can then feed this into…
Fair point, the clean up can be an issue, but you can get some amazing results if you get everything right. And like anything it takes some practice. Point-clouds cop a lot of flack, but generally I think they are used in the wrong way. People try to model things that are really much simpler and would be easier modelled…
Continued from page 1 In Maya I found the surface transfer works really well for a base texture and then you can use the same textures that you captured for the 3D scan to clean it up in Mudbox. I did a quick test (with a mobile phone during a break in really poor lighting!), so character artists please forgive my…
Almost any camera that has a decent sized sensor and a good lens should work fine. I personally like to use a 50mm lens on a full frame camera (Canon 5D Mk2). I tend to avoid zoom lenses (Primes have higher quality for the price) - some photogrametry software prefers shots in a project to all be shot with the same…
I've found this thread to be a great recourse, helped me push my photogrammetry skills quite a lot, so thanks to everyone who contributed and keeps contributing! here's a tiled tree bark texture I just finished (might just work on roughness a bit more) here's the 3d model with generated texture from photos, my photos…
hi Jonathan, sorry I have been too occupied lately, to answer your question : basically inflate in tools - deformation - inflate baloon. inflate is not to clean up noise, inflate technically is push tool in 3dsmax , ( baloon inflate is to grow in all direction. instead of just initial normal direction.) if u want to clean…
I work for Plowman Craven in their VFX team, and worked on the 3d scanning for Edge of Tomorrow, Guardians, Avengers 2 and other stuff. We use a bunch of different scanning methods and photogrammetry is something we use more and more often as its been getting better and better. I can't go into workflow specifics but I can…
