How to Create a 3D Models from Drone Images with DJI Mini 3 Pro

Create a Free 3D model with DJI Mini 3 Pro drone to create a 3D environmental model of any location. It's FUN, and it's free, so there is no reason not to play with 3D mapping.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic Review | THIS Drone Changes EVERYTHING

[blanesibille]

Nice video, you said you have been playing around with some free software that is almost as good. What is that?

[BlairAir]

Had an app in the late 90's called "3DFX" - came FREE with a high end video card. It was able to make 3D objects out of flat files, move objects through space, control textures of every facet and lighting at absurd levels (pin lights, ambient, reflections, fog, motion, etc.) I ended up rendering splash screens with Premier Pro for cable TV commercials my boss wanted. I was NOT a graphic designer, more of a CIO, but I had a lot of fun doing that stuff.

You mentioned a free map stitching solution that you'd cover in a later video, but I just scrolled through your videos and didn't see it. Did I miss it or have you not done it yet?

[EpicLib]

Thank you, this was a simple and fast intro about shooting 3D models with a drone! I'm looking for a way to capture 3D of a pretty large abandoned factory that is about to be demolished.

[JulianMakes]

Wow! I took your advice, I used the free trial and made photos from my dji mini 2 manually, im blown away. I scanned about 20 acres of mountain property in amazing detail. I’m going to make a video about it on my channel, i literally cannot say enough how good it came out. Thank you for showing me how to do it! Ps I’m also going to print 3d models of the property too.

Nice! You forgot to add a really important step something easily missed is the aspect ratio, generally for normal pretty pictures you would do 16:9 say 3860x2250 like on my Mini2, however this is actually not the correct setting for data capture. In 4:3 you actually get 4000x3000. TLDR 16:9 on the Mini 2 is 8.685.000 pixels and 4:3 aspect ratio at 4000x3000 is 12.000.000 pixels :)

that way your capturing at 12 MP instead of 8.7 MP

Your welcome :)

We use GCP ground control points to align the maps and increase accuracy. We are running 1.6cm accuracy on our maps and surveys. Just a note. The Phantom 4 pro v2 is the best for mapping like this as it has a mechanical shutter. I looked at upgrading to the mavic 3 pro with the hassleblad camera and it uses a rolling shutter so not as good as the old Phantom. Our M300 also is rolling shutter with the H20t so kind of a disappointment. Great overview, drone deploy can do so much more than you can imagine 😊

[adrianstensrud]

Also, DroneDeploy should REALLY sell their data/models to Google - and of course, if they do, give you a share of whatever they make from that sale. I think that would speed up the improvement of Google Earths extremely sub-par 3D models.

Very nice, well explained.
Do you have an option to export the file from the website?
Or it’s only for view?

[jacquesmillett]

This is a great video, thanks for sharing. I'm wondering, have you looked at the NeRF models that can be created with the Luma AI and 3D Presso apps? As a fan, I would love to hear your thoughts.

[FreddyWertzCreative]

Very good video sir, you have a a good energy when speaking that makes it enjoyable to watch. Thanks !

[alainfloutier]

Hello Henrick, thank you for this very interesting video. Couldn't you use the "Hyperlapse circle" function in order to capture all the pictures automatically?

[ryan]

Thank you for this great video. Much appreciated. What is the name of that other free 3D creation software you spoke about? Thank you!

[BoraBaysal-swwx]

Nice video, two question. I have DJI mini 3 drone. Is it possible to make it also with DJI mini 3 ? Also I am using mac is it also possible dronedeploy for mac ?
thank you

[firemanfitzy]

This is pretty cool. Thanks for the info!

[ChristiaanRoest]

Great video. Pix4d and DJI Terra provide more detailed maps than Drone deploy imho but licenses are expensive. Dji Terra total license costs 5k. And you have to pay yearly for updates. Crazy these prices but i guess it will generate lots of income for pilots that have good paying clients.

[DesertGardenPrepper]

I appreciate your dedication to answer my question! thanks!

[Randomguy]

There is this program called meshroom it's actually completely free and open source.

[jacquesmillett]

Have you tried the NeRF or 3D Gaussin Splatting techniques to create 3d models? I've been using my DJI Mini with Luma AI (as well as 3D Presso and Poly.cam) for some exciting results. Just wondered if you are aware this and what you think?
