So, my super secret camera project continues. Because of my lack of engineering and CAD skills, I’m doing an end run around an actual education and I’m finding the pieces I want, scanning and assembling them in the computer.
I use photogrammetry to scan the object, in this case a joint and compile the mesh model inside of Regard 3D. Once the mesh is rendered, I bring it into MeshLab to clean the model, generate a surface and glue together the other model I recently scanned.
The scan you see here is the model before I began cleaning it up.
Oh... it was hot as HELL in that photo tent!
