Title: Photogrammetry Test
Post by: deniszen on May 25, 2017, 12:19:21 PM
Hi,
this is a first test done with Reality Capture and rendered in Keyshot.

What the??? This is so realistic. Incredible render.
What is Realistic Capture anyway? New feature coming up to KS?

Photogrammetry, huh? Cool. I suspect we'll start seeing more scanned models and materials here on the forum. Definitely interesting.

Thanks Bronson,
photogrammetry is a technique that lets you get a 3D model by taking pictures of the real object. The cool thing is that you get the model (with UV) and the texture as well. Reality Capture is a software you can use to get it. More info here: www.capturingreality.com You can download the demo and have a try and for 99$ you can rent it for 3 months.

Here some screenshots of the model. As you can see it's very detailed, as it was scanned. This one is sort out of the box. The software lets you clean the model or have a low poly version. If you want I can give you a link to download it.

 :D I've been looking into Photogrammetry a lot lately, this is a great example, well done!
Thank you so much for sharing, very inspiring.

Thanks.
Reality Capture is great, fast and (the promo/rent version) affordable. You just need to take photos all around your subject from different points of view, load them to the software and start the wizard (or step by step).
I also used Photoscan but this one is way faster.

Geebuz, that's freaky real. Fun stuff to watch out for.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the limitations with this would be that it doesn't work so well with reflective surfaces and also transparency is a no-go because it just confuses the software with the changing refractions. Did you do any kind of 'surface' preparation here before hand? I would think this leather case was 'diffuse' enough that it wasn't really an issue.

I've seen some things around the web about 'temporary' sprays that dull the surface without permanently sticking, anyone ever had experience with this?

Just curious!

Does it all come in as separate geometry - the zip teeth, the zip backing fabric, etc. or do you have to split it up in KS?

Hi,
you-re right. Reflective and transparent objects are impossible to "scan" if you don't use a spray to dull the surface. Here's a great tut about this:

I've never tried. Until now only matte objects.

Hi,
you get one geometry. If you want you can retopo (rebuild) the surface using a 3D software like 3D Coat, ZBrush etc. Here I used the model as I got it from Reality Capture. I just used different specular maps since the zip is more reflective than the leather. I could have used a transparency map to isolate the zip and assign a metal surface using the material graph editor, but it's just a test.

Creative Shrimp does a great tutorial with a slightly different workflow, but an excellent job of introducing a complete noob like myself to the idea.

I believe he uses all free software in this example, but I imagine Reality Capture works in a similar way. Instead of using Cycles to do the final render, you could bring the geometry into Keyshot as Deniszen has done.

Hi,
another quick test with a scanned model and Poliigon textures.
