Project Breakdown
1. 3D Scanning
Step 1 of the process was to capture both the top and bottom of the log. All photos were taking with an iPhone 13 Pro at a fixed shutter speed and ISO in DNG Raw. These photos were then processed within Adobe Lightroom.
2. Reconstruction
Model reconstruction was done in RealityCapture. I first processed the top and bottom separately in order to generate masks that could help when bringing the two halves together. This allowed Reality Capture's image alignment to recognize both halves without additional control points.
3. Retopology and Texture Reprojection
The high poly model was retopologized within Instant Meshes with the low poly models vertices reduced to 53k down from 3.1M. With the new low poly model, I projected the textures and normal data from the original high poly model to the low poly model within Reality Capture.
