My partner makes ceramics. It would be nice to make some 3d models of the work she creates for her (upcoming) website. Any thoughts for a workflow to do this quickly and easily?
I would expect to take pictures of the item, then flip it over and take pictures of the bottom.
Happy to make some glue-code if there are some tools that can facilitate this in a mostly uattended way
I'm doing exactly this for my mum at the moment. Trialing various apps and methods. Best so far has been polycam (tho only with photos, hers is an older iphone) uploaded to sketchfab for embed .. that said I think we're content with not shooting the bottom of the various pieces, so they are presented on a table or a wheel. Good luck!
Well what I usually use is Meshroom, where you simply add your photos and let it reconstruct the object. I haven't had particularly good results with it (likely due to my photography "skills"), but it was good enough for what I needed. You could check out a guide for that since it should be easiest to start with.
I tried meshroom originally, but it was amazingly slow compared to some of the commercial offerings. Searching, I see there is some hidden flag for GPU, so ill see if that helps.
In the past I did exactly this, creating 3d models of ceramics made by my partner, with my Xperia xz2 phone. It had some built-in app for this.
Though I have nothing to compare it to, the results where quite good, even used it to 3d print copies.
I purchased a Pivo to do exactly this. The problem is more with the fixed angle you cant always capture enough of both the inside of a bowl and the outside. But maybe i can use this to assist with capture....
