Nice job, I do 3D scanning all day with structured light for inspection and I'm just picking up photogrammetry as a hobby so I bring my skills to photogrammetry. So a quick tip, if you need to ever coat something but spray paint is out of the question get an airbrush kit, 99% IPA (rubbing alcohol), .05ym pure aluminum oxcide(raw make base can work just clogs the brush), mix 1/4tsp aluminum oxcide, .75oz IPA and mix well (it saturates better in largers batches) spray evenly about 8" away, don't spray in 1 spot... It goes on lightly but when it dries it's coated (it dries in milliseconds...but the best is it washes right off/wipes and the part isn't harmed

im a 3rd year ID student @carleton your work is the most informative stuff on youtube. Please keep it up i tell all my mates about your channel. thanks for helping us learn the right techniques. We never get these focused lessons for tricks across the trade.

[irgendna]

Great, what i like abt this tutorial is that its quick and self explanatory. thanks!

Eric, I would love to see a vid outlining how you interact with the data: what you do with the mesh, .obj file etc. How you would bring it into CAD and make a solid model from it with a thickness. That sort of thing.

That is incredibly powerful for just photos taken with a camera, as opposed to having to use something like a laser scanner. Thanks !

[GI-JOEs]

Thank you for this video. I noticed there are not that many software for Mac OS. I thank you for the guide and the tips in your video.

[MohammadBehzad-lgdo]

Thank you so much all vids all completely useful and love it all

[wittworks]

this is fantastic! exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to build your lazy Susan jig you did another video on

Should be noted, Metashape is available for MacOS, Windows and Linux.
Windows 10 actually comes with a pretty good set of 3D editors, painters and printer software built in and integrated with Windows Mixed Reality (if you have a compatible VR headset)

Love the videos! Great work. Keep them coming.

Aperture should be high value (close Aperture) NOT low, all of the object should be in focus and even if the background is in focus it is better, because it will make it easier for Metashape to align the photos based on that info.
After the photos are aligned and a point cloud is generated, it is very easy to get rid of all of the background.

I have black and somewhat shinny objects I would like to scan but can't use any type of permanent paint on them. It there anything that would give me the flat textured appearance of paint but could be washed off afterwards?

My original thought was to use some type of shrink wrap so I could paint it then remove it when I was done. Haven't found anything that will shrink tightly to the shapes I am working with.

Thanks for excellent lesson! I"m ready to 3d scan my object. (About 10 centimeters. ) I'm ready to print on my mac. Is there a program you suggest? Thanks a ton!.

[LaszloBagi]

Can you save / export a STL out with Metashape?

[FrodorMov]

Good tut. Meshroom is a free software package that also does photogrammetry. Might be a bit less consumer friendly and has less editing options once you have the model - its more of a wrapper around a computer vision framework. (So you do get a whole bunch of options in terms of the CV functions)

Are there not any available 'texture' spray paints that can do the noise pattern in one go ?

[markh]

Nice, gonna have to give this a try!👍

[jeangabriellopez]

Hello Nice thank you. But how to scan the bottom of the bottle ?

[iminoizq]

Hi Eric, really nice video!! would you know how to extend the 30 day free trail? i have a project to finish and i'm having problems with executing an RLM server to help me.. you know.. thxxx it would be soooo helpful a s2

[jolyanesaule]

Hi Eric, thank you for this video. It's very informative and clear. I'm starting with photogrammetry and I need to create a 3D version of an object with a scale. Should I take pictures of my object with a physical scale or can I put one with the software?

[DenisGerbassi]

Thanks for sharing. Best tutorial on youtube about photogrammetry.
