The plethora of professional tools that are free on the web is insane. You just have to have a guide to advice you and to point out some of them, and you can easily make a living creating stuff, without breaking any law and without having to pay a cent if you don't want to, or can't afford to do so. Thanks for the knowledge you share Chris.

@@johnphilippatos FYI, the main difference between advice vs advise is that “advise” (with an S) is a verb, which means to recommend, or to give information to someone. On the other hand, “advice” (with a C) is a noun: an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide to action. No need to ever apologize for such mistakes. Live, learn, share & be kind. ☮

That was one of the most incredible explanations of creating a 3D model I have ever seen. You succinctly explained and articulately demonstrated the entire process from taking the photographs, importing photos, generating the model, to finally producing a final printed object. I love the lion example best and how the final object was printed and made golden. Hard to believe you created that object simply from a series of photographs. Wow. Many thanks!

That was incredible!! The end result was extremely impressive! And as the software matures, and computer hardware becomes more and more powerful, this process will only get easier.

Absolutely amazing show off, Chris! I also got into 3D stuff with Blender and it's really fun, bought an RTX 3090 for it and it just spits out rendered PNG images like there's no tomorrow. Scanning real life objects and doing retopology on it is really a learning curve I think.

Another great episode. As a former Army cartographer, and photogrammetry instructor, this absolutely fascinates me. You didn't mention the file sizes of the models, but looking at the spacing of the nodes on the TIN, they must be quite large.

i would assume the original scene, with all the scraggly environment bits around it, could take up around 1GB (or less as the things look rather low-poly), and just the lion shouldn't be more than say 200MB. for 3d printing small items (even in resin but especially fdm) you don't really need all that detail, so you could simplify it, remeshing while keeping sharp edges perhaps, down to maybe 50MB (doing a minimal fill on the flat bottom is a nice trick as well). that's pretty much where most of my projects with similar subjects end up. edit: when he clicks on mesh.obj, explorer says 52MB, i don't know why.

Fascinating software. The final scene where you are standing in front of the statue and holding the printed version was nicely done.

Very impressive what one can achieve with rather low spec hardware and patience... for free! Thanks for showing!

This is remarkable. I'm learning so much from this series. Your first 3D printing video actually inspired me to go out and get a 3D printer after years of being on the fence. I've had a great time and have even designed some replacement parts with Tinkercad and successfully printed them. Looking forward to what else you have in store!

That was quite impressive. You spent an enormous amount of time on this. Thank you.

This is honestly one of the best tech videos I've ever watched

This is so cool Chris! I had no idea free software could be that powerful. Thank you for continuing the explain the power of computers!

This guy's videos remind me of those TV shows that aired on PBS (or similar channel) in the late 90s early 00s that my parents would watch. I kinda like it.

An excellent video explaining this technology. Chris sets a very high standard for clear explanations of complex technology.

Two Minute Papers posted a video about recent strides in AI photogrammetry. Much recommended. What a time to be alive. :)

incredible the results of 3D reality you were able to record into the final product. thank you Chris for opening our eyes to this new technology.,

Oh wow! I just finished the video since my last comment... what a beautifully edited and produced video. This had different locations and included many time consuming tasks condensed down with a finished product all for all our instant gratification Sunday morning KZread enjoyment. Kudos sir.

Fascinating. Reminds me of my old university master thesis, which was about "Recovering 3D shapes from perspective projections" (i.e. photographs); I dealt with only two at a time, the corresponding points were marked with a tablet, the implementation was on an HP 2647A intelligent terminal running Basic - I had to do all the necessary Linear Algebra subroutines myself... It was 1980-1981 after all...

@@sail4life Not really; it was more like a proof of concept, following an article about a hardware-based solution using one of the high-end systems at the time; Evans & Sutherland as far as I remember, in which they had two tablets (planchets, as they were called by some), that had the two photos mounted, one had to select at the same time the same points from both and press a button for the 3D coordinates to be calculated; I had just one tablet, so the two photographs were placed next to each other, the points were selected consecutively after a screen prompt. The visualisation used the available HP Basic 2D graphics library, I did the projections myself. The 3D graphics model was point-rib-face type with the topology verified at every change. It worked only for very simple models, but was fun to do. The alternative to the HP 2647A I could have ued at the time was a PDP-XVM (PDP-18 multi-processor graphics system) which had to be programmed mostly in Macro, that was way above my then-knowledge and the timeframe.

Another fantastic video, Chris! Putting the 3D printed object in the park - very effective. Time to try Meshroom !

Thank you for sharing all these free open source tools over the years!

I am imagining Chris roaming the streets of London with a camera looking for statues. This was an an extremely well made video.

I worked for SGI (Silicon Graphic Inc) who invented 3d hardware solutions and who's hardware and software was responsible for generating 3D models of certain structures and terrains used by the US Air Force to fly missions in simulators before actually getting in the cockpit. This was back in the circa 1999 time frame. I understand the AF used high level aircraft (drones?) and satellite photos to develop the models. I saw some of the stuff they generated and was impressed that they could do that back when they were using hardware will less power than my laptop. I was impressed then and even more so now.

To revive these aging devices for further use seems very forward thinking to myself..

I'm amazed what this software can do, especially when you look at it's price !

Thank you for showing us more wonderful software that a lot of us did not know existed. The software is very interesting but also very time consuming in learning and being proficient in it. Now is it a Sprat to catch a Mackerel, tempted by the free software, you have to have a latish computer, lots of disk space to store all the formats of the output, a reasonable camera, I should imagine the higher the megapixel the better the output and a 3d printer. What you can achieve is mind blowing. Your Lion does you credit.

Excellent thanks, you and the software are extremely clever to say the least.
