3D Photoscan result of a zebra – texture and a pre-clean-up modelįor a few years, I’ve been putting off processing the images, and my free Autodesk ReCap Photo (previously ReMake) 30-day trial expired. It was a very nice experience and time well-spent in the fresh air in a park. Once on holiday, knowing the basics of photogrammetry, I captured a beautiful zebra (imitation) using my mobile phone. Photogrammetry – Capture Now – Process Later In this article, we will focus on what is possible to achieve by a casual user who wants to try photogrammetry for free/affordably with tools at hand. Lets set the delay to 19 seconds and the limit to none.Of course, those who use expensive equipment like cameras with multiple lenses and process the results in a licensed software, may get better results and spend much less time for post-processing the images. Limit = when the sensor will stop recording. The Delay = the time you will have to get situated before the sensor starts recording. This can be started and stopped with the space bar. We are currently under the Record tab, which means that when you click that circle above the trash can a video will start recording all of the Kinect's sensor data. Position your swivel chair and sit, if your figure is in red then you are almost ready. If you don't see anything try moving backwards or forwards to get in the right focal length of the camera. The imagery in red is with the sensor is going to capture. Looking at the camera in the top right hand corner you should see video with color.

If your sensor still is not connection please troubleshoot at the Skanect website.: Hopefully your sensor should be active and your screen populated with the camera imagery from the Kinect. For this tutorial we will be focusing on using a mac however, the processes is almost identical on the PC.ģ. With a Asus / Primesense Xtion Pro Live Stereoscopic sensor or an Xbox Kinect for Windows / Xbox 360 + Kinect for Windows SDK. OR A Windows 7PC with 2GB of RAM and NVIDIA GTX 560 of higher. Here 360 degree swivel chair, best = bar stool Apple computer with 1 available USB port Xbox(version) Kinect & Power Adapter (adapter here = Amazon ) OSX 10.8+ (Must have the right Kinect Version, the Kinect for Windows will not work). With the free version you can use the online printing service Sculpteo What you will need. With the pro version you will easily be able to print using one of Techshops Makerbot 3D printers. I am going to demonstrate using a free version of Skanect and the Pro Version. Do you have an Xbox kinect laying around? Well get ready because today's your lucky 3D printing Day! Goal: To Make a 3D scan of a person for easy printing at Techshop.
