Thank you very much!
@chothoneill42 did you get an answer? Yeah, it seems like a lot of stuff is not downloadable. I'm hoping there is a way to download some of these
hey @britishmuseum and @merckxiaan - I've not used two different cameras that much but I think PhotoScan is maybe more forgiving than other software. I think testing with ReMake (or similar) would require combining mask and image files i.e. blacking/whiting out the background completely in each image. I've not tried this though.
@merckxiaan Hi Jules, I quite often use several different cameras as I shoot in situ. I've never found any problem aligning them in PhotoScan (always masked images), but sometimes I use chunks and markers. I haven't tried multiple cameras on any cloud based software, maybe @nebulousflynn has? This scan was done in two chunks, top and then bottom and chunks merged using markers. It took about 30 minutes to photograph and the model was generated by the next day with processing overnight. Hope that helps? Dan
Could you colaborate on how you used 2 different cameras without screwing the scan !?
Jules
Is this model available for download? I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking something.
This scan is fascinating, but what I really loved is how you told the skull's story through the annotations. Thanks so much for sharing, I'm staff picking it!
Thanks for spotting that, now fixed.
Lovely job! You've got the right and left eye labels reversed though.
