paint brush and railway sleeper models

66 photographs were necessary for the paint brush model and even that left a faily noisy and messy job. A hefty resculpt in Mudbox with some additional bristle indentations, shipped back to Photoscan for texture alignment and then to Max. A protocol Im getting used to now; low poly retopo with normals and texture atlas projection via the render to texture tool set. Next up, the railway sleeper, weighing in at over 7 feet long remains in situ (or perhaps now somewhere out to sea?) The eagerly awaited release of Autodesk’s ‘Project Photofly v2’ has arrived. Very user friendly and a very quick turnaround considering the density of points/mesh. Using only 16 photographs the sleeper consists of 2 identical halfs which is a story in itself….
Project Photofly, worth the hype? Yes. But it does have its limitations. No merging models or texture reatlasing or real editing capabilities.
