Just took this to new 'heights' with my latest video: Is it Possible to Photoscan a Mountain?!
Watch Here: th-cam.com/video/b84MwuupHKg/w-d-xo.html
@Horizon585 Yup
Can u 3d print it?
Million views well done
Is 720p good if i take lots of pictures?
why just not take video instead of photos
Here's some tips after trying and failing at this a dozen times:
1. Don't try to photo scan any furry, thin, or reflective materials. Any reflections will confuse the depth map of the software.
2. Have a clear path in your mind of where you are going to take pictures from. The basic shape of the camera angles should be a large dome that includes a lot of surroundings of the object (this layer makes it easier for the software to determine which side your closer angles are shooting from), a medium dome that centers the object and the object almost reaches the edges of the image frame (this gives the program most of the shapes), then a very small dome where you get close enough to see 1/4-1/8 of the object, to get more detail when texturing.
3. Any parts that jut out of the object should have their own additional domes of pictures that cover every angle.
4. The scan quality increases proportionally to the amount of pictures taken. I had to take 70-100 pictures to get a quality I was happy with.
5. Don't include blurry pictures or pictures taken at a weird angle.
6. A good way to know if your camera is good enough for photo-scanning is the size of the pictures it produces. At least 1.5MB is necessary and 2.5MB+ is optimal.
7. Only take outdoor pictures when it is cloudy and indoor pictures in places where the object does not receive direct lighting.
I hope these takeaways help!
Hi Sir, what do you mean by direct lighting? I plan to shoot in the studio and of course, I need studio lighting because the studio is dark. Should I just use ceiling light? and is flash can affect the quality? is it better to use a DSLR camera or just use a phone camera?
@@khairulhafiz8418 Depends on your situation. If you have lights that can diffuse softly and uniformly surround your object, I would go with that. If not maybe point the lights away from the object and use that as ambient lighting.
@@marcoblackwell8477 thank you sir
Hi Sr. Excelente advice and explanation. I keep it for sure. In the section 2 I have a question in Centimeters how much it? You talk about 1/4 ~ 1/8 what is the mesure? Thxs

This video just got recommended to me and I loved it!
Thanks for introducing this software to us.
Quahntasy - Animating Universe You should try Agisoft Photoscan, it makes higher quality models, only disadvantage is that it isn't free, though the trial is free.
@Sebastian There are other free photogrammetry programs for Mac: Try COLMAP, MicMac, & Regard3D.
I've had this recommended to me multiple times and watched them almost everytime
It's worth having a look at PFTrack as well it can use video as well as stills plus has some really nice tools for multi pass texture extraction th-cam.com/video/1LrhQ7BiHFY/w-d-xo.html
TH-cam finally got it right.
I found this on Reddit. Such an awesome tutorial! I'm excited to try Meshroom and 3D print some 3D scans
:D
Same here. Maybe not enough pictures (I had 24)
Hi Devin!
Just take the log home with you.
Sounds like how you’d end up in a 3D simulation world... wait a minute!!
This tutorial is such excellent quality! You have everything down like production quality, keyboard shortcuts, and explaining exactly what you are doing so it is reproducible for newbies (ex node wrangler plugin as if you didn’t already have it) and all of this while keeping a relatively console video. Excellent job keep it up :D
I was looking for 3d scanning stuff about three months back, stumbled upon this vid by chance. thanks for this since i know what i need to do for 3d scanning meshes.
Nice software, just a tip, switch to Cycles-render before importing then the materials node will be created automatically. Nice vid, thanks!
You and blender guru are the reason I got into photogrammetry. I'm building my channel trying to generate interest in my social circle in this amazing new technology.
Thank you for the video! I've been using blender for about a year now, and I never knew how to photoscan. Ive spent hours going through free 3d models trying to find elements for my scenes, and now I can just create them with a camera! Gamechanger
I can't belive how easy this looks like! And on top of that I learned basics of cycles renderer + how to use particle system properly, wonderful.
Also:
*Says meshroom*
subtitles:mushroom
I`m a blender user for a longer time and must say, you do a good job with the tuts. Not over compllicated and clearly narrated. In a good speed to follow easy...
I learned more about 3D objects in this 34:49 than I have in the months of working on these programs on my own, and struggling immensely with understanding literally 3/4 of the settings. This was outstanding in every single sense of the word!
This is fantastic. I've only seen 3D scan setups with about 100 cameras so far. If one can do something in a row with the appropriate software, it will be possible for everyone.
That's a great sponsor you got there! Much better than advertising unrelated things (for viewer and sponsor)
Dude, I just found this video and I must say I'm highly impress with how you state your shortcut keys.
This is completely amazing, I think I will never end learning all this 3D stuff, thank you so much amazing video.👏👏👏👏👏
CG Geek - THANKS !
I learned more about Blender in this WELL MADE and WELL NARRATED instructional than in all the "smartest-kid-in-the--room" tutorials on the net !
I tried wading through DOZENS of them AND bought 2 books (NOT cheap) trying to adopt Blender, but gave up. I've been doing Offshore and Subsea Oilfield Equipment Design for YEARS, and was HOPING to expand my arsenal, but to no avail. With THIS vid I'm gonna give it another try !
I _WILL_ add too, that the narration was EXCELLENT.
With you speaking EACH step you were about to take, the step as you took it and explaining the step you JUST took along the way AND WHY as you then each in-turn moved to the NEXT step, and the next and so-on from start to finish, I was able to FOCUS on what you were trying to show us, without having to fight to keep up as you moved about the screen, as in SO MANY other videos (ESPECIALLY those with no narration) . I won't NORMALLY mention what I'm hoping for in the area of QUALITY of Narration, but I thot it particularly appropriate, here.
SO- sincerely - THANKS !
Gonna go ahead NOW and download the current version of Blender AND Meshroom.
Don't worry, I won't go this long again as I regularly return to your page ;=) . I just wanted to hit the high-points _I_ found important. THANKS again and -
ALL the BEST to you and yours, AND your production Team here , from Texas ! - Chuck.
Blender Guru is pretty good. But yeah, most of "tutorials" on here suffer from exactly that problem.
1:50 that editing though, well done sir!
Live time machine 🤣
🤯🤯🤯
Amazing tutorial !
Love it !
I’m just hobbyist but I totally admire the effort you put in the amazing workflow ❤️
You have done an amazing job of detailing this complex procedure. My first intro to blender; I hope that I made myself enough notes.
I love how like. You go fast but I understand everything.
You're an amazing teacher. I will definitely subscribe and keep in touch! It's always been a dream to do this type of stuff but sadly I'm horrible at drawing so when it comes to 3D modeling, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be any good. But this helps me a lot! Not just to photo scan but to take from these models and study them. I can learn how to do a lot of things! So again, thank you!!
I am really happy to see this software getting more attention, it is really promising
Mushroom is the best!
Has anyone noticed how great that anime model looked, I would really want that for my game!!!! 1:05
Wait that's meshroom
This video stumped me.
Nice.
I-
Good
But now I'm pooped.
Hahaha
This is amazing, Steve! Thanks for this tutorial, meshroom is such a real alternative to photoscan, Well done!
Can't tell you how grateful I am for this tutorial.
One recommendation that I would have for the scene you made, especially since you used DOF to blur the background anyways. You could likely use photo-sphere(most newer cameras these days have a built in option to do a photo-sphere) while in that same area to create a custom HDRI that would best blend with your photo-scanned object.
Havent even finished the video but already love it! great editing :)
thank you so much :) Following your tutorial, I'm currently in the "Meshing" phase with some sort of vintage watering can and its so exciting. Can´t wait to see how it turns out.
This was the exact thing I have been desperate to find. I much prefer modeling things in person using clay as apposed to 3d modeling. Now I can make 3d models of real sculptures! Thanks for this fantastic video!
Well made video. We need more creative people like you.
I am entertained and learned. Thank you!
Thank You so much! You made me happy by a cristalline clear tutorial! I was waiting for a long time.
Great tutorial! Funny yet to the point. One improvement I would like to suggest: In meshroom you can rightclick on the texturing node and select open. Then in Blender you can drag and drop the OBJ. This saves the step of having to search for the mesh folder. Happy Blending!
You fogot to mention that to run meshroom you need a GPU with CUDA above 2.0, a lot of laptops don't have it.
I was so excited to use this till i got DEPTHMAP. My AMD RX470 stopped at that step. :(
Thank for the information can you tell me please witch nvidia card can be appropiate to run Meshroom? I was browsing Nvidia website but there are several models like tesla, then quadro and I'm lost...
And you forgot to give the link to the Nvidia website with the list of compute capabilities of all their cards developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus
@AwareStub Man
I had that issue as well. A couple solutions that i found were:
A. Not saving the project and let it export the mesh to the default output (C:\Users\*UserName*\AppData\Local\Temp\MeshroomCache\Texturing)
or
B. Saving the project on a different drive, such as an external hard drive.
definitely glad my laptop has a GPU with CUDA at 6.1 haha renders for days
Great video, gonna try this out after work tomorrow, thanks!
Wow, what an amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for making this.
Thank you for taking the time to create this excellent informational video!!! Very inspiring!
Excellent ending!!! :)
The rest is all overwhelming!
I only needed the OBJ so I could copy some old toys I had to 3d print them, but I kept watching because it's so interesting. Great video!!
Did you 3D print your scans? How did they turn out.
by far the best video on this concept... explained like a real pro.
Awesome... I'm in shock because of the possibilities...
Thank you so much!!!
What an awesome tutorial! You can really see how much work you put into that video, all those effects are just amazing. You really just learn to value all this great work if you try to make a video with such fancy effects by your own. Really appreciate your awesome work - take care :P
Finally a great open source photogrammetry software
-that doesn't work with AMD
@@MrClauried there's a "noCUDA" version as well, so it works with any graphic card even built-in Intel graphic card if you need it. Regards! :)
This is truly amazing. So much work goes into it though which makes it a bit discouraging. But wow is that cool. I will have to try it.
Literal love for your work man, and salute for it. True inspiration 💘
Dude you’re amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom
Nice tutorial, meshroom looks easy, clean and overall awesome. Though I would add retopology, clean uv and baking as next steps in my personal workflow.
Great Content! I really loved that you took a lot of time to show what you did in Blender too! Thank you!
It's been a long time since I saw a video that's actually to the point. Good work mate
Really amazing tutorial. Just a tip. Try to reduce your facecam and change the location. Many features settings I wasn't able to see because of it.
or even just fade yourself out while doing the actual video. You dont need to be on screen the whole time, people arent going to close the video as soon as they have their info and not see you.
@@rbnzdave the facecam is good, but he needs to fade it out or make it transparent if he shows some options behind it...
yes i can't really understand it's well by that
its the first time TH-cam recommend for me a great video
same
Awesome video man been doing 3d design for a long time and this is going to save me a ton of time on my future projects!
THIS IS GENIUS!!! HOW ARE YOU SO CALM THROUGHOUT THIS VIDEO?
The editing and humour are great! Fun videos and informative! Thanks!
Simply great! Great channel!
That was a really well explained tutorial, very enjoyable to watch.
Men this guy is amazing XD, thanks for this gorgeous approach ! i need to try ASAP :)
"Crappy photoscan" was the name of the folder. I can relate
Congratulations for 1M..!
This is an amazingly thorough and interesting video: thank you! I'm subscribing!
I've used similar programs like Meshroom years ago, some free and some paid, and none of them were this easy or produced really great results. I absolutely can't wait to go nuts with this one, though Blender is not my tool of choice. It is a great program too, just never got past its UI. Nonetheless, Meshroom is a total win and you don't need a dedicated studio or 255 individual cameras to get a great scanned model. Very impressive!!
You are the best bro. Thank u for sharing
😱omg! I'm going to try that!
Wow, thanks so much, there is so much scanning ahead of me!
Subbed! Great tutorial - I'll definitely put it into practice! Thanks a million!
14:45 perfectly balanced, as all things should be
Hi megabrain
Where I don’t get it
Perfectly balanced is the heat-death of the Universe.
Another good video again dude.
Science magazine occasionally prints two photos side by side, one photographed at a slightly different angle, that when crossing your eyes to combine the two pictures into one, you get a 3D view, much like the old stereo-optican.Very useful when visualizing diagrams of organic compounds.
Thank you great video. We also tried the photogrammetry method in practice. It turned out very cool!
Wow guys, this is already the most liked video on my channel. Thanks so much for the unbelievable support and to Sketchfab for the sponsor! sketchfab.com/store
CG Geek you seem like such a cool ,smart and humble guy. I wish i had friends like you in my day to day life
this is amazing....im super exited to use it....my mind is blown away to think it would be so easy to to do a 3d scan that to free...thanks a lot man...!!im still a animation and game design student and if i get this real quick...im gonna grt a hold on my outputs thanks a bunch!!
Really good, you make it look easy but fun thank you.
GENIUSSS
why are yiou here
Amazing :D
Wow...I left this video having to get a glass of water. My throat was so dry from sitting here with my mouth hanging open. Very impressive skill set and technique. I'm subbed. You could do an entire series on just this.
Thank you! This tutorial was so helpful.
1:54 smoothest translation in the history
your face is covering part of the UI when you click 'load model' - can't see where it is in the app either.
All aspects of medias need to become available of moving around by viewer.
double click the texture node, it'll do the exact same thing
@@tomq2314 texture node?
This is exciting, I just got into this and it showed up on my feed. Taking my phone out tomorrow to see what I can do
Sick editing. Thanks for the tutorial.
I love the humour in the video :D
Some technical faults though. Most notably audio sync and your face covering parts you are showing :)
DUDE
That shot where you threw the SD card at the computer and the files loaded was so clever XD
If only it were that easy XD
Your tutorials are the best!
i could not beleive this actually worked, i took a 12 pack soda box out of the trash and tried this, worked out way better than i thought, now i just got to work on taking better pictures.
What if I wanna photoscan that pile of...
I dunno man, you might get some shitty looking results
I think it’d be a great detail in a game where there are horses or cows,
@WhaleOfATime LMAO you made my day xDD
Have you watched till the very end?
Lmao he actually did that 😂
5:34 Wow! All these years, I've been wasting time using those pesky card readers! Thanks for this other method xD
This guy is incredible. Super great tutorial. Thank you so much
Thank you young man, you are a scholar and a gentleman!
So I wish I'd known about the CUDA requirements before I attempted all this effort. That said it was easily setup and ran great up until that point. Thanks!
what does that mean?
RYXZVKI Seems the software requires an Nvidia GPU
34:44 you did it man 😂
lol I told u it was a bad idea.
haha that much work for a joke, great :D
Looks more realistic than the stump
1:53 That was probably the smoothest transition in a video i've ever seen
Man amazing tutorial thanks for this👍🏻🖤🖤
*AAAWWWWEEEESOOOOMMEEEEEE !!!!* :D
please make your face smaller in future videos-- very hard to see some important settings. great video though!
Cherylynn Lima no face just voice please
its weird cuz he could totally edit it so it's not there during movements in the settings area...
Are you implying that a youtuber's face is not the most important thing in a specialized tutorial?!
@@Lishtenbird yes
That’s just how he looks leave him alone
!Amazing! skills and so relaxing to watch! Thank you for caring/sharing.
Just astounding, very informative and, encouraging. Thank you.
Bro, The Corridor Crew video showed a clip from this video today!
This pile of uuuugh😂😂 very awesome tutorial men
This tutorial is amazing! Thank you
