More model information

Created in RealityCapture by Capturing Reality from 144 images in 00h:10m:16s.

German Steam Locomotive 81 002 from Märklin in H0 scale. I am always impressed by the detail of these model trains, and decided to attempt a photogrammetry scan. I think RC did a good job, considering the small model size and the black reflective metal.

Regarding the workflow:

Hardware

  • Camera: Nikon D7000
  • Lens: Nikkor 60mm Macro Lens
  • Aperture: f32
  • Shutter Speed: around 1/250s
  • Lighting setup: Two small flash heads with diffusor boxes

Software

  • Alignment, Reconstruction in Normal Detail, Color Correction, Texturing and Export of simplified mesh (RealityCapture)
  • Minor retouching (flattening and filling) (Blender)
  • Import of retouched mesh, Texture Reprojection and upload to Sketchfab (RealityCapture)
  • Texture retouching of some minor issues (paint.net)

I found the following Tutorial series from RealityCapture very useful: https://youtu.be/DTJq1Dz0nxY
