Photo Scanning
This bird bath has been in my family for a couple of generations now. It is not holding up to time but I think it makes for a really interesting scan!
I believe this to be my first attempt at using the drawing function for the zremesher tool. Seems clean enough.
Plucked right out of our garden!
I took 100 photos of a brass turtle using a go pro 8. I am surprised at how clean it came out, as that is not the ideal camera for doing photo scanning.
Because I couldn't angle the camera up under the turtle, a good majority of its lower half is hand sculpted along with cleanup of the rock. I went ahead and separated the two during the sculpting so that I can use the turtle for other projects.
Photo Scanning doesn't capture the metallic or roughness of an object so those maps I made myself.
Enjoy spinning him around! I love the subtle glint of the metal in the patina!
Just a few select photo scans that I've done over the last year or so. The majority of my photo scans are to make displacement maps for sculpting, however, occasionally I find something that I just have to do a full scan of! All of these objects come out of the photo scanning software at a crispy 10mil triangles, however these renders are of greatly optimized low poly bakes. They are roughly 5k each with 4k materials to make them look clean for these renders. The camera I am using is a Canon 5D Mark II Digital SLR with a 100mm macro. It's not ideal but it's what I have to work with for now. The turtle scan is a bit different, more on that in its description. I am using Agisoft meta shape for building the point clouds out of the photos.
