why just not take video instead of photos

Here's some tips after trying and failing at this a dozen times: 1. Don't try to photo scan any furry, thin, or reflective materials. Any reflections will confuse the depth map of the software. 2. Have a clear path in your mind of where you are going to take pictures from. The basic shape of the camera angles should be a large dome that includes a lot of surroundings of the object (this layer makes it easier for the software to determine which side your closer angles are shooting from), a medium dome that centers the object and the object almost reaches the edges of the image frame (this gives the program most of the shapes), then a very small dome where you get close enough to see 1/4-1/8 of the object, to get more detail when texturing. 3. Any parts that jut out of the object should have their own additional domes of pictures that cover every angle. 4. The scan quality increases proportionally to the amount of pictures taken. I had to take 70-100 pictures to get a quality I was happy with. 5. Don't include blurry pictures or pictures taken at a weird angle. 6. A good way to know if your camera is good enough for photo-scanning is the size of the pictures it produces. At least 1.5MB is necessary and 2.5MB+ is optimal. 7. Only take outdoor pictures when it is cloudy and indoor pictures in places where the object does not receive direct lighting. I hope these takeaways help!

Hi Sir, what do you mean by direct lighting? I plan to shoot in the studio and of course, I need studio lighting because the studio is dark. Should I just use ceiling light? and is flash can affect the quality? is it better to use a DSLR camera or just use a phone camera?

@@khairulhafiz8418 Depends on your situation. If you have lights that can diffuse softly and uniformly surround your object, I would go with that. If not maybe point the lights away from the object and use that as ambient lighting.

KZread finally got it right.

You and blender guru are the reason I got into photogrammetry. I'm building my channel trying to generate interest in my social circle in this amazing new technology.

This tutorial is such excellent quality! You have everything down like production quality, keyboard shortcuts, and explaining exactly what you are doing so it is reproducible for newbies (ex node wrangler plugin as if you didn’t already have it) and all of this while keeping a relatively console video. Excellent job keep it up :D

I was looking for 3d scanning stuff about three months back, stumbled upon this vid by chance. thanks for this since i know what i need to do for 3d scanning meshes.

Nice software, just a tip, switch to Cycles-render before importing then the materials node will be created automatically. Nice vid, thanks!

Dude, I just found this video and I must say I'm highly impress with how you state your shortcut keys.

Can't tell you how grateful I am for this tutorial.

I`m a blender user for a longer time and must say, you do a good job with the tuts. Not over compllicated and clearly narrated. In a good speed to follow easy...

That's a great sponsor you got there! Much better than advertising unrelated things (for viewer and sponsor)

"Crappy photoscan" was the name of the folder. I can relate

This is fantastic. I've only seen 3D scan setups with about 100 cameras so far. If one can do something in a row with the appropriate software, it will be possible for everyone.

I am really happy to see this software getting more attention, it is really promising

Mushroom is the best! Has anyone noticed how great that anime model looked, I would really want that for my game!!!! 1:05 Wait that's meshroom

I can't belive how easy this looks like! And on top of that I learned basics of cycles renderer + how to use particle system properly, wonderful. Also: *Says meshroom* subtitles:mushroom

Thank you for the video! I've been using blender for about a year now, and I never knew how to photoscan. Ive spent hours going through free 3d models trying to find elements for my scenes, and now I can just create them with a camera! Gamechanger

I learned more about 3D objects in this 34:49 than I have in the months of working on these programs on my own, and struggling immensely with understanding literally 3/4 of the settings. This was outstanding in every single sense of the word!

You have done an amazing job of detailing this complex procedure. My first intro to blender; I hope that I made myself enough notes.

CG Geek - THANKS ! I learned more about Blender in this WELL MADE and WELL NARRATED instructional than in all the "smartest-kid-in-the--room" tutorials on the net ! I tried wading through DOZENS of them AND bought 2 books (NOT cheap) trying to adopt Blender, but gave up. I've been doing Offshore and Subsea Oilfield Equipment Design for YEARS, and was HOPING to expand my arsenal, but to no avail. With THIS vid I'm gonna give it another try ! I _WILL_ add too, that the narration was EXCELLENT. With you speaking EACH step you were about to take, the step as you took it and explaining the step you JUST took along the way AND WHY as you then each in-turn moved to the NEXT step, and the next and so-on from start to finish, I was able to FOCUS on what you were trying to show us, without having to fight to keep up as you moved about the screen, as in SO MANY other videos (ESPECIALLY those with no narration) . I won't NORMALLY mention what I'm hoping for in the area of QUALITY of Narration, but I thot it particularly appropriate, here. SO- sincerely - THANKS ! Gonna go ahead NOW and download the current version of Blender AND Meshroom. Don't worry, I won't go this long again as I regularly return to your page ;=) . I just wanted to hit the high-points _I_ found important. THANKS again and - ALL the BEST to you and yours, AND your production Team here , from Texas ! - Chuck.

I love how like. You go fast but I understand everything. You're an amazing teacher. I will definitely subscribe and keep in touch! It's always been a dream to do this type of stuff but sadly I'm horrible at drawing so when it comes to 3D modeling, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be any good. But this helps me a lot! Not just to photo scan but to take from these models and study them. I can learn how to do a lot of things! So again, thank you!!

Amazing tutorial ! Love it ! I’m just hobbyist but I totally admire the effort you put in the amazing workflow ❤️

I am entertained and learned. Thank you!

One recommendation that I would have for the scene you made, especially since you used DOF to blur the background anyways. You could likely use photo-sphere(most newer cameras these days have a built in option to do a photo-sphere) while in that same area to create a custom HDRI that would best blend with your photo-scanned object.

thank you so much :) Following your tutorial, I'm currently in the "Meshing" phase with some sort of vintage watering can and its so exciting. Can´t wait to see how it turns out.

Havent even finished the video but already love it! great editing :)

Great video, gonna try this out after work tomorrow, thanks!

Can you make a tutorial how to create a terrain map from a google earth picture of a island for example so it has the same mountains, elevations etc, and the real dimensions conversion

@milllosh

4 жыл бұрын

Can't be done that easy, but you can use a scan of a topographic map, paint over it from black (lowest altitude) to white (highest altitude) and use it as displacement map. Since the "digital distance" between black and white is 256 (0 to 255) you can calculate the proportional height needed. Next step would be to find a good satellite photo, for two reasons: you would turn one to black/white image and make a bump texture, for finer details, and second for diffuse map. I would personally turn the first object to mesh or poly and put the black/white image over it as a new level of displacement + bump, and overlay that with the diffuse map. Google maps aren't the best source for this kind of a thing cause you can't get a clear topography, and it's LOADED with text (cities, roads, cafes, restaurants, gas stations, whatever). I hope this helps. [edit] For this, of course, you would need some 3D software and some photo editing software...
