Getting a new DSLR - $500... Downloading Agisoft - $150... Learning to merge chunks so you can get the underside of your 3D scanned model.... PRICELESS ;) Thank you for taking the time to upload this. Learning to do points was pretty awesome too!
Well done! It's an easy beginner tutorial covering all required steps, with also a good amount of troubleshooting. Voice recording was also good, it's really nice to watch.
Brittany, great video. One of the better ones I have seen. Look forward to seeing what else you learn with Photoscan because you seem to be doing a great job already. Would love to see some of your work uploaded to sketchfab or something like that!
Hi Brittany, just watching your video again.. It's still great. :) Just wondering if you could give a little overview of how you set up your camera, the settings you use, and the way you capture the images (ie. turntable or walk around image). This is my go to video when I need to show people the basics of Photoshop... THX.
Really enjoyed the tutorial and look forward to your others. I would like to add that this is for Photoscan Pro as Standard does not support markers. It took me a while to figure that out.
So apprechiated! Just jumped into the programm, had no idea what to do to make this work, and (I know, that tutorial is 40mins long, but I had enough black magic left to skip some minutes :P) had a model in under 5mins ^^ thx
I think it would be faster to shoot more photos than do all the manual aligning. Maybe you need the fourth angle to connect the top and sides. When I get bad alignment I add more photos till they all connect.
Fantastic indepth video on how to get a great result. I have one question, where did you get that background referance page where you set your control points? Is it downloadable from the internet somewhere?
Thank you for the great tutorial, you helped me a lot. You would have saved some time using your keybord del/delete button instead of going to the menu for deleting dense cloud points...
just for a tip for someone who has a hard time scanning faces pimples work really well as tracking marker get someone with pimples (and ofc also add tracking marker on the neck)
Nice walkthrough. I appreciate you took a rock which is more on the nasty side of things regarding computational image alignment. Low contrast and diffuse shapes makes it hard to find suitable control points for merging the chucks but as you showed here, it is possible. Do you host these models publicly?
Dear Brittany, thank You for your tutorial. I have one question to You. In the end of the tutorial You have told that you need to fix problem wit grid which was appear on the texture, to do it will You need to repeat whole prosess of align photos, mesh and so on? or is it an option to do it without this?
Thank you very much for your tutorial Brittany. Great job! Where can I get a scale like you use in the video? Could you put a link to download it please? Thanks!!
Thanks for the tutorial. I learned a lot! If you do this as part of your job, might I suggest you get a better camera. It would make pattern recognition (both computer and human) much easier :)
This was great! One question - when you merged the two chunks it seemed to generate a bottom. Ive generated 3D models but can't seem to get bottoms when the object is on a flat surface. How does this work?
Hi Brittany. Thanks for posting. I've followed all the steps exactly as I've found them across multiple tutorials, and I've done numerous shoots and numerous imports, and masked off my images, but I'm having ZERO success getting anything to render at all. Could I ask you some questions?
I see you didn't use masks but instead used markers. Would it have been better if masks were used? Also in the marking process, do you have to literally mark every image, or will choosing only a dozen images off the best angles do for proper alignment and dense cloud creation?
Hi, it happens that i am constructing a photogrammetric model by hand as you did, the cameras had GPS, I also do the markers as it helps though the use of Targets over the scene. Is it correct or necessary that once I finish the markers i unmark the photos with the GPS?, these GPS reference for the pictures wouldn't help at all?
It might have. It's tough to say for sure because I think the very strange craggy/bumpy texture of the stone mixed with the monotonous color in flat lighting was throwing off the program.
does EVERY photo need these flags points from 7:00 ? What if the object is too big and exceeds the size of the images, so every photo has only a crop from the object?
A great tutorial, Brittany! You did an excellent job explaining markers and how to use them. I wanted to ask, do you mind if I mention you and include a link to your video in my next PhotoScan Guide?
I'm flattered, go right ahead!! Sometime in the next few weeks I should be doing another process video or two and maybe some microtutorials for small parts.
Hey, Brittany! Do you have an email I could reach you at? Or if you would prefer not to give it out here, you can message me first, it's my channel name at gmail.com.
Greetings. I have a series of photographs of a church (more than 400 images). Do a process in Remake that only accepts me 50 images and the model was quite acceptable, but I want to improve the quality. My query is if to achieve this is convenient in aligning images, cloud points and mesh, use the option "Higth or finer" This is because you use the middle option in all three options and the mesh loses many details which It does not happen in Remake. Thank you very much for the help.
i use agisoft ,, it just aligned 4 of 25 images !! i tried to use another softwares and it did almost the same thing - 4 to 5 images ,, thats the first 1 , second how can i do that with a full room scan or a full house scan !
Lawjestaw .horay not aligned photos is a result of very low overlap, and if you want to map a house or any other object, you have to take as many pictures as you can around the object with a high overlap to get the best results.
Lawjestaw .horay the overlap is the percentage of the last photo that the next photo contains, it has to be around 70%, other thing that i forgot is that when you are mapping an object and you take photos around it, you have yo mask the photos covering everything around the object so photoscan can process it properly, because when you don't do that, it becomes very difficult for the software to find matching points between the photos. i hope you can understand what i said, english is not my native language
Unfortunately it seems like this entire process only applies to the "pro" version of the software :-( the standard version doesn't seem to have markers function.

A good photogrammetry model starts with making sure you're taking good photos in a good lighting set up! Glad you enjoyed. :)
This is the best photoscan tutorial I've found yet!
Excellent job Brittany. Very comprehensive and in depth. thank YOU!
I didn't know that I could use marker on the photos! Thanks for great tip, Brittany!
Thanks for taking the time to show this. Very helpful.
Thx, again. I appreciate the "deeper" coverage.
Fantastic work! I'm tryin to learn aerial mapping using my drones and my search led me here. Thank you for your time and work.
Well done! It's an easy beginner tutorial covering all required steps, with also a good amount of troubleshooting. Voice recording was also good, it's really nice to watch.
Brittany, great video. One of the better ones I have seen. Look forward to seeing what else you learn with Photoscan because you seem to be doing a great job already. Would love to see some of your work uploaded to sketchfab or something like that!
I'm taking a 3D break during my current term of classes, but this summer I should be doing some more 3D work. Keep an eye out for that!

great video. I like the length cause you covered a lot that others would omitted. keep up the videos and I watch all you post. Damian
Thanks! I like doing workflow ones like this because it's pretty easy to talk through the process.
hey Brittany, thank you for sharing a great tutorial. you are awesome :)
Really enjoyed the tutorial and look forward to your others. I would like to add that this is for Photoscan Pro as Standard does not support markers. It took me a while to figure that out.
Brian Minor Thanks! I actually hadn't realized that - was working with the trial program at the time
Thank you so much for this video! Great introduction to the software, You should get paid by Agisoft!!
So apprechiated!
Just jumped into the programm, had no idea what to do to make this work, and (I know, that tutorial is 40mins long, but I had enough black magic left to skip some minutes :P) had a model in under 5mins ^^
thx
Thanks that was really clear! I am just learning and now I know how to use markers to align chunks :-)
Thank you Brittany, great video, easy to follow, well explained and nice to show the faults and how you worked through the issues, very helpful.
Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thank you so much. The details you gave were very useful. You should do more videos on other software too.
excellent tutorial you have gotten me out of a serious jam :-)
I love your tutorial. Please do more :)
where can I find the calligraphic grid on which the model lies?
did you find something? might be great sharing it
I think it would be faster to shoot more photos than do all the manual aligning. Maybe you need the fourth angle to connect the top and sides. When I get bad alignment I add more photos till they all connect.
Excellent Tutorial! Hope you will do another one.
Fantastic indepth video on how to get a great result.
I have one question, where did you get that background referance page where you set your control points? Is it downloadable from the internet somewhere?
WOW! This is really fun to learn!
Aw, thanks!
Great job and a wonderful video.
Very nice video we expect more from you
This is all i can thank you
THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice video. Good explanation. Please make a video on how to take photos
This is a great video! Maybe I missed it, but did you "build mesh"?
Thanks for your work. Learned some stuff!
Thank you for the great tutorial, you helped me a lot.
You would have saved some time using your keybord del/delete button instead of going to the menu for deleting dense cloud points...
Super helpful, thank you!
just for a tip for someone who has a hard time scanning faces
pimples work really well as tracking marker
get someone with pimples
(and ofc also add tracking marker on the neck)
Perfect Tutorial! Thank you!
Nice walkthrough. I appreciate you took a rock which is more on the nasty side of things regarding computational image alignment. Low contrast and diffuse shapes makes it hard to find suitable control points for merging the chucks but as you showed here, it is possible. Do you host these models publicly?
thanks and really nice tutorial , i will try to draw and print my own guide
Thank you for this, it was a great help! :)
Dear Brittany, thank You for your tutorial. I have one question to You. In the end of the tutorial You have told that you need to fix problem wit grid which was appear on the texture, to do it will You need to repeat whole prosess of align photos, mesh and so on? or is it an option to do it without this?
Romek Szl I would also be interested to know this, thanks!
Thank you very much for your tutorial Brittany. Great job! Where can I get a scale like you use in the video? Could you put a link to download it please? Thanks!!
Thanks for the tutorial. I learned a lot! If you do this as part of your job, might I suggest you get a better camera. It would make pattern recognition (both computer and human) much easier :)
I'm really interested in this sort of thing. What kind of career opportunities are there? And how could one go about studying towards this?
highly appreciated the video, could you please say, how to estimate the accuracy of DEM and Orthophoto?
You just have to double-click on the center of the model to place it in the middle
I'm brand new to all of this. I'm curious...why would you have so many photos that didn't align?
really good tuto. thank you. hope a new one !
Where did you get that marker pad from?
Where did you get that white grid paper from? Awesome job!
conservancy.umn.edu/bitstream/handle/11299/172480/Photogrammetric_scale_1_coded_targets.pdf?sequence=21&isAllowed=y
This was great! One question - when you merged the two chunks it seemed to generate a bottom. Ive generated 3D models but can't seem to get bottoms when the object is on a flat surface. How does this work?
Question: could you have just marked the rock on Chunks 1 and 2, while bypassing marking the colored square targets?
thank you! an excellent tutorial.
How can I get PBR material (texture channel maps) in this software? It get just diffuse, I need normal, Height map. Reflection, glossiness etc ...
Hi Brittany. Thanks for posting. I've followed all the steps exactly as I've found them across multiple tutorials, and I've done numerous shoots and numerous imports, and masked off my images, but I'm having ZERO success getting anything to render at all. Could I ask you some questions?
I can't guarantee an answer, but you can ask away.
Hi Brittnay, great tutorial, thank you so much for sharing this. Where did you get the grid that is sitting under the object in the images?
Why not more videos?
I see you didn't use masks but instead used markers. Would it have been better if masks were used? Also in the marking process, do you have to literally mark every image, or will choosing only a dozen images off the best angles do for proper alignment and dense cloud creation?
Muy bueno, recomendable!!
Great tutorial!
Thank you! Very helpful

Is it correct or necessary that once I finish the markers i unmark the photos with the GPS?, these GPS reference for the pictures wouldn't help at all?
If you had another row of images between the bottom and middle row would that have made it so you wouldn't need to do the flaging?
It might have. It's tough to say for sure because I think the very strange craggy/bumpy texture of the stone mixed with the monotonous color in flat lighting was throwing off the program.
does EVERY photo need these flags points from 7:00 ?
What if the object is too big and exceeds the size of the images, so every photo has only a crop from the object?
Do you have a printable template of that grid underneath the fossil? Also how did you get such even lighting for the photos?
Markers are only available with the Professional version - which at $ 3499 is outside most people pocket.
Is there a way to remove all the markers to a certain point at once?
Muy buen tutorial, excelente. Para cuando en español :)
A great tutorial, Brittany! You did an excellent job explaining markers and how to use them. I wanted to ask, do you mind if I mention you and include a link to your video in my next PhotoScan Guide?
I'm flattered, go right ahead!! Sometime in the next few weeks I should be doing another process video or two and maybe some microtutorials for small parts.

Hey, Brittany! Do you have an email I could reach you at? Or if you would prefer not to give it out here, you can message me first, it's my channel name at gmail.com.
Brittany did you flip the rock over and take the bottom pictures in this same set?
BigGreenMug Yes. The second chunk was a series of photos taken after I flipped the rock upside down!
...I literally just got there, that's what you get for being impatient.
여기 있는 포인트 수동으로 추가하는 기능은 pro에만 있습니다. standard에 없어요.
정품키 드릴까여
Isn't it possible to hotkey the placement of markers? This would make it a LOT faster
where can you please download or generate the reference marks that you have under a rock, thank you
which camera you use?
Hi. I'm having a problem on scale models. When im trying to import the mesh in sketchUp, its comes in different sizes.
great tutorial
It turns out when photographing you can rotate the object itself around the axis and not the camera around the object?
made a photo
object around its axis, but the program and puts the camera from one
direction ((And not like you from different directions
thanks, it is very interesting
Just started using the PhotoScan demo after watching this, and it turns out the the custom markers are only available in the professional version 😥
try meshroom no need for points marking there

on behalf of a fellow paleontologist - thanks!
Thank you sooooooooooo much .
How do I turn OFF automatic marker placement? Program does false suggestions.
great stuff
My photos never align what am i doing wrong i believe my overlapped in photos are good
Can you use coded targets in Photoscan?
Yes! The scaled grid I used for this has targets on it, but I did not use them in this video.
Thank you!
in my agisoft-photoscan,there is a black screen before and after adding photos..pls help me with this problem
Thank You
Brittany, where did you get the image that you set the fossil rock on?
VirtualSuperSoldier She said she took them with a camera. The rock came from a college
hello when i align photos they are all togheter in 1 single point can you help me ??
nice tutorial, but i have an error that says 'not enough memory' i have 16gb ram, issn't that enough?
Definitely should be enough - the machine I was doing this on only had 8gb. You might want to head to the Agisoft help forums.
where i can download these
Thanks!

here you are
Why not just rename marker?
helllo, can you share the link where i get Photo Scan Professional for free for 30 days? i'm a student too.
Thank you!
Dont work. I select align photos as above and nothing displayed at all. Ive given up on it
is it free?
sorry did not understand how to set the points too :/
right click does not work
