Some extra tips I've found photoscanning plastic figurines. If you want to scan an object that is reflective and contains a consistent flat colour (usually very bad for photoscanning) cover it in baby powder. This adds micro details to the mesh which helps the scan while being easy enough to clean up afterwards.

Hah! Is this photogrammetry day on YouTube or what? I just finished and put up my own video, also using Reality Capture, and some other software. Great summary Clint, especially about merging together point clouds. It's a great way, regardless of software, to get a better quality mesh at the end. 🙂

Nice scans, Clint! You're absolutely right, photogrammetry can become addictive. I always like to compare it with shooting on film- you go out exploring and capture something cool, return home and start to feel that rush of excitement once you sit down and start processing your images, and finally see what you got- and when it all turns out, hopefully you're happy with it!

[WilliamFaucher]

I gotta say man, I love how your enthusiasm shines through in your intros, takin' notes here!

[danoboy]

Literally photogrammetry in one wheels you have more than peak to my interest

[bewhitey]

Love it Clint. I tried photogrammetry a few years ago and always got sub par results. I am going to have to try it again following your guide. Beautiful scans son!

[gravious]

fantastic video clint! crisp presentation, easy to follow, interesting as hell.. you're crushing it :)

[JonathanWinbush]

Love it brother 2 big photo capture tutorials in 1 day so much info 🤙🏿

[Benji_D]

Woah! Love these videos Clint and can't wait to see what's next for you as a creator! Shot at 0:25 is fire my man

[mustardseed]

That tip for exporting masks to be able to combine all the different captures is amazing. I've been manually combining meshes for far too long. Thanks!

[TLabsLLC-AI-Development]

Been doing photogrammetry personally for over ten years and professionally for over 6. It's so nice to see both the infrastructure and hobby build into something we can finally start using.

Let's get this party started!

[jordandouglas]

Is it just me or does Clint come out with the exact tutorial I want each month?

[BenAmaral]

I don't know a thing about 3D Scanning or 3D workflow, but you my man explain it so well it's incredible. Best and favourite 3D teacher ever! Keep it up my man 😁👊

[phelpsfx]

3d scanning is honestly the best. I am going to start using it more often, thank you for the great tutorial 😄

[lichendigital]

Awesome job Clint! Thanks for the fun and informative time. Keep doing you bud. You're totally kicking ass! Much love from Michigan

[tallskeleton]

learning this and blender is one of my 2022 goals. thanks clint!

[dinoschachten]

Always been excited about 3D scanning (since LOTR and the Troll, I guess). Finally an awesome guide on how to do this in high quality!

[goatpepperherbaltea]

Giving that sick new course that’s coming out a run for it’s money

[AliTKhan]

We know, we all needed a detailed photogrammetry Tutorial!!

[amswil]

After two year this video is important to me than ever
