Blog posts about photogrammetry and the creation of displacement textures out of scanned geometries.
I know I say this quite a lot, but now more than ever… WELCOME BACK!
It’s been twelve days since the last blog post, and no, my computer hasn’t been rendering for those 12 days straight. But alas, I have used some of that time to do that too! In this episode, we are going to take a look at how to set up a material with the textures we’ve created – in VRay no less. This process will be similar in other render engines, such as Mental Ray, RenderMan, Octane… so let’s get started and have some fun!
Welcome back!
It’s time to finish the creation of the textures for our project, after having started doing so last week. Now that we have the base texture – the colour map, exactly -, it’s finally time to make the rest of them. And for that, we’ll be using the last program in our pipeline: xNormal and Photoshop. Let’s get to it!
Hello and welcome back!
In this instance of the ‘making real displacement textures’ tutorial, we are going to start creating the textures for our models. After some time working and refining our meshes, we are now at the point where we can finally start creating some maps. This is a process that will be divided into several steps, since it’s not as straightforward as what we’ve done before: first, we’ll create texture maps for all the meshes that we have, and then we’ll create them as regular textures that we can apply in any other model. Let’s get to it!
Hello once again!
On the last blog entry, we were discussing how to create both a sparse point cloud and a dense one, with the ultimate goal of creating a mesh out of them. More specifically, we left our computers working on generating the dense point cloud, and after more than 24 hours of nonstop hard computing, we can finally see the results. Check them out below!
Welcome back dear readers!
It’s time for us to leave our field work behind, and get comfortably seated in front of our computers – since from now on, we are going to use them a lot. Magic is about to happen! Having taken care of our pictures as described in the previous post, we’ll change our camera and tripod for software such as Agisoft Photoscan, zBrush or Maya. But even though we are moving into another stage of our project, we should keep in mind that much of what we’ll be doing from now on relies on our previous work – therefore, having a good foundation is key to achieving good results.
