I just wish more content creators followed this principle, so much filler in a lot of articles and videos. Remember when you had to write numerous page essays in school or like they had a mandatory amount of words, so most people would write in a bunch of nonsense to fill up enough on their work to qualify the little bit of actually important substance? Read articles online that have lots of dumb filler and look how they write it, it looks just like high-school all over again. Not a useful skill.

Thanks! I've done different kind of videos decades and it's good to see really pro-made tutorial as this is. Relaxing and clear explanations, no disturbing discomusic, no idiotic camera moving. Once again, thank you very much. I'm sure your company is also good and pro.

Hi, the part is not allowed to move during the individual pictures you take. So in all pictures the parts has to remain in the exact same position. Otherwise the photogrammetry process will not work.

@Seemsayin

4 жыл бұрын

​@@Holocreators You're obviously smarter than the average bear. So please forgive me if I sound pretentious. I like David Butcher's idea. And it beg's the question... Why should the part not be allowed to move? Would it be so that the object maintains some point of reference to where it sits, in relation to the camera? If so... then wouldn't the surrounding objects (to which the main object is resting on) become part of the main object? Yes. They would. But... why should the software require any additional connected parts? For a point of reference? Hmmm. Interesting. The real question is... Taking pictures at different angles creates movement. If pictures are being snapped, by hand... the camera is then ...not stationary. What difference does it make whether it's the camera, or the object being moved? The object being photographed is the ONLY true point of reference. The object's background, OR WHATEVER IT'S RESTING ON in any photo is irrelevant, since it gets edited out anyway. So... why would anything extra, connected to the main object, be necessary? Why would having your camera shot conform to an x/y axis, in relation the object's center, be necessary when either x or y is not a constant? Because the ONLY REQUIRED points of reference are with the object. Anything else is irrelevant. And, then again... I could be wrong. My apologies if I've missed something. Thank you taking time & making the effort to post this. Much appreciated.

@Holocreators

4 жыл бұрын

@@Seemsayin Hi, I am no scientist and I don't know how photogrammetry software really works. The way I understand it is that in a first step the position from where the photos were taken needs to be calculated. That is easier when the object remains stationary, because then the background can also be used for the camera position calculation. But photogrammetry software gets better and better and it could be that its now also possible to have the object aswell as the camera move. As long as the object itself doesn't change.

Hi Martin, yes you can. The Scans can look rough sometimes and cutting away unwanted elements just in meshlab can be not enough.

Yes you need a lot of diffused light for the best possible scan. Light is your friend.

Out of curiosity, at 4:40 when you're scaling your photogrammetry model, why did you calculate a scaling percentage instead of using the "target size" measurement to input your 76.2mm? It seems like that would give you better accuracy, as there's no rounding of the scaling factor. I mean, obviously the results speak for themselves when compared to the professional scan, but I found that step odd.

Hi Andrew, no particular reason, it's just one workflow that worked for me, if "target size" works better, then please use that

Viewer David Wilson found out that you "You MUST have a NVIDIA graphics card" to run Meshroom successfully. So if you don't have this kind of hardware you might want to look into Photogrammetry Software alternatives like Reality Capture. Where is Meshroom saving the 3D files? This question has been asked by many of you. Answer: When clicking the "Start" Button for the first time, Meshroom will ask you where to save the Cashe folder: normally it goes to C:/Users/Computer-name/AppData/local/Temp/MeshroomCashe In that location Meshroom will save all the project files. After the photogrammetry process is finished look for the "Meshing" folder, inside you will find the 3D model (OBJ)!

Excellent video. It looks like picture-taking (200 pics in your case) is no doubt one of the longest processes in this project- would it be possible to use the Burst function on my iphone camera and use a slow sweeping motion (instead of incremental as you're demonstrating) to make the process a little faster? This should also allow taking of more pics for a better dataset. Of course, all of this is null if the pics are fuzzy. If one found themselves doing this on a repeated basis, a jig is in order- may be my next project :)

@reverse_engineered

Жыл бұрын

A turn table is often used to help with this. A steady tripod will also help to keep the distances similar. Then you can lock the focus on the camera so that things stay in focus. You'll probably find that taking pictures from further away helps things stay in focus better, especially with a good camera and a telephoto lens, since the differences of height on the details of the part will be small compared to the distance between the part and the camera, so it will remain in the depth of focus. If you have a decent DSLR camera, you can also use timed exposures or a simple remote to take pictures at regular intervals as you turn the part.
