Photogrammetry
19:52Phil suggested we try photogrammetry to help model the toys for our animation. Photogrammetry is a technique where you take a series of photos around an object from different angles and use the data from those photos to create a 3D model. Earlier in the week Stathis used this technique to get a model of He-Man's head so the rest of us decided to give it a go with the troll dolls Andrea bought.
Rob gave us a quick tutorial and helped us set up the camera and the troll.
We then took pictures all around the troll at three different angles (the software can only use 70 pictures but its better to take more rather than less).
We took two sets of photos: one of just the troll's head and one of the entire troll.
And these are the results we got. Obviously if we were to use these in our project we would need to retopologize them but I'm pretty happy with the results. Whether we actually use these models or we just keep them as a reference it was a really useful (and fun) technique to learn.
