Life hits hard!
First of all: my apologies for the lack of recent activity, the second half of 2018 proved to be a life-changing one, as I relocate back to Europe while becoming a dad all at the same time. While it's super exciting, it also takes a ton of planning and preparation to ensure a smooth transition. Can't believe it's my last few months in Asia!
Photogrammetry for Augmented Reality
Professionally, I've been fascinated with the idea of photogrammetry - being able to obtain very accurate 3D scans just with your phone. All it takes is a series of photos of the object from all angles and a few different software packages for processing and cleaning up the model.
The best workflow I managed to create goes as follows:
- Reality Capture 2.0 - processing the photographs and extracting the model
- Zbrush - cleaning up the model and optimizing the mesh
- 3dsmax - for adding additional items and unwrapping the UV
- Sketchfab- for augmented reality preview
Let me know what you think of the end result. Also, hit me up if you have any interesting objects you would like scanned, the next post can feature your scanned object with an AR preview! How cool is that?!
