Photogrammetry Test 2 - Nike Jordans

 Photogrammetry Test 2 - Nike Jordans

    Now unfortunately I didn't take any behind the scenes photos of the way in which I set this up however I decided to take a different approach to testing out this object with Reality Capture. I chose to move away from the Razer Seiren as it didn't have much visual information for Reality Capture to use and it was a poor model to start with. The Nike Jordan Shoe has colour, dirt, wear, etc... so it has a lot of variation and points of reference. 

I set the Nike up on a rotating turntable just against my desk and used video capture this time instead of just photo capture. This process was significantly faster than manually turning the object and taking a photo each time. 

I then loaded this into Reality Capture and the software broke the video down frame by frame into separate images and I attempted to use this new information to generate a point cloud. The process ended up being much better than I expected as this was just a test and this time I was able to generate something from it.







    As you can see from the above screenshots in Reality Capture, while not a fully clean model with everything working correctly it is still a really good start and furthered my understanding of the process a little. As you can see Reality Capture struggle with the back side of the shoe again because I had the camera static it only has a single background for reference and landmarks so it could tell the camera was not moving, however still not a bad result.

Tavern Scene - Reference Image building

 Tavern Scene - Reference Image building So this is just a quick post with a link to my pinterest board that I use for the reference images to start building the first scene of the Tavern. I decided I wanted the iconic tavern table scene so started to gather reference for tables, chairs and other miscellaneous items such as tankards, bottles, etc...  Here is the link to the pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/lmuir2963/tavernreference-masters/ I also gathered some reference images for fantasy style weapons as I plan to implement them into the scene somehow to give some more visual information to the group of adventurers that are using the table. It also helps set the tone that they may have just come back from a quest or adventure and are enjoying some downtime. Here are some of the images I gathered on the board to provide context; All the original images can be found on the pinterest board along with others that informed my designs .

Literature Review Book 1

  Literature review book 1          As seen from the image above the first book I intend to use within my literature review is titled Close Range Photogrammetry written by Thomas Luhmann and others, originally published in 2006 and looks to have been republished in 2011.      This book looks at the theory of photogrammetry as well as the practical and technical applications at the time of publication. This will be incredibly useful for me to understand the nuances of photogrammetry and expand my knowledge on the subject at a fundamental level.      The one thing I have to take into consideration is the age of the publication, as technologies and methods have advanced so much in the last 15 to 20 years or so this book while useful isn't all there is to know and after briefly scanning through the book there doesn't seem to be much reference to photogrammetry within games design, I do need a more detailed read of the book to ensur...

MA Games Design - High Poly P9 Part 2

Image
  High Poly Pistol Development     Just another quick progress update to follow on from the last post with some more screenshots of the high poly pistol development process.      As you can see in the above screenshots I added back in the trigger, slide lock and mag release button along with the front and rear iron sights. These were all pretty simple to do and most were just using the base low poly version, the slide lock I had to remodel the right side as on the low poly version there weren't enough grip indentations which caused an issue when trying to increase the detail.      As well as this I modelled in the tactile grip sections on the front and back of the pistol grip section on the lower receiver. This was a case of modelling one version I was happy with and then just duplicating it down along the sections and placing them correctly so they fit within the ergonomics of the lower receiver.
