#photogrammetry

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

I don’t have a 3D scanner but I want to 3D scan something.

What’s the recommendation in the year two thousand and twenty five?

Photogrammetry with meshlab? Lidar scan with my phone?

I have a light box and a motorized turntable if that is useful.

Anyone east of Seattle have equipment they want to share?

7- Once you have the scan, you can make replicas of your fossils by 3D printing them! Here a fossil predentary, along with the 3D scan.

Thank you to the presenters for doing such a good job, the organizers for putting this together, and the participants for making it all possible! This was an amazing way to end the Paleo 2025 symposium, and we can't wait to see you all next year!

Currently scouting out well maintained foss software to implement #photogrammetry into my asset pipeline for fun.

Don't want to bend over backward to get meshroom to build via the AUR. Looking into OpenMVG. I don't mind—and often prefer—a CLI based workflow, but it is not comforting to look at a github page that barely explains what the software is or how it can be used. Or worse reads like a research paper. However, a venerable european on youtube has posted several videos depicting some impressive statue reconstructions using OpenMVG and CMPMVS. I am tempted to emulate his success.

Played around with RealityScan from Epic. Had a lot of fun with it.

Scanned some fresh pastry that I got from a shop earlier.
Can already use them in a scene as is, especially if it's some background stuff, like a bunch of pastry on shelves behind a character or so.

But could also spend some time, retopo them manually and reproject color and normal maps onto an optimized mesh if you want to use it for games.

Love open source? Want to give money towards something tangible? Help add a new "swipe control and simultaneous layer display" to OpenDroneMap's WebODM! The fund is all or nothing, and UAV4GEO (a maintainer/contributor, and implementing this feature) is doing a match on all donations.

The free and #openSource ODM tools are amazing and you should definitely check them out at opendronemap.org if you have any #drones #mapping #photogrammetry needs.
