3D Scanning, Reducing Poly Count & Baking Textures for Free | Meshroom, Instant Meshes, Blender

Hi everyone, in this tutorial I will show you how you can 3D scan an object in Meshroom, reduce the poly-count of that object using Instant Meshes and Bake the textures of the object using Blender. Feel free to ask any questions!
I hope this tutorial helps you!

Awesome video! One thing I found, it might be a blender version thing, but if anyone gets the error 'circular dependency for image' when baking, try disconnecting the image node first and then try again.

Why did you remesh to tris?

[@3653charlie]

Hi, great video and step-by-step explanation. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. With every bake, I get the Circular dependency error. What would you recommend doing? Why is the error keep showing up?

[@twanoligschlaeger]

Thanks! Try disconnecting the image node and once baked you can plug it back in. Does that work?

[@3653charlie]

@@twanoligschlaeger It worked ! Thank you so much for such a fast response !

Is instant meshes like quad remember ?

[@androidbyserega]

4 hours is too long for meshroom. What spec of your computer?

[@sanpal]

The baked texture I got is pixelated.

[@twanoligschlaeger]

when creating a new texture in the shader editor, try increasing the resolution?

[@matbeedotcom]

I dont seem to have a UV map

[@twanoligschlaeger]

did you unwrap your model?
