This course uses photogrammetry reconstruction techniques to create detailed object mesh and scene models from photographs. Aimed at matte painters, scene designers and previz artists. Photogrammetry can be thought of as an inexpensive alternative to LIDAR. In this course, Photoscan will be the reconstruction tool of choice combining with Maya, Matte Painters Toolkit, Mari, Mudbox and zBrush with support from PhotoShop, Lightbrush, PfTrack and Syntheyes.

There is no one single approach that will solve for all shots. The course will range across a number of tools exposing possible workflow approaches and useful tool combinations that naturally flow from Photoscan. In this way you will be provided with the knowledge to formulate your own approach.

We’ll be looking at outdoor object, scene and aerial scans as we step our way through the entire workflow from photographs to render. All the while working to get the best out of Photoscan. Including a look into extracting Albedo from the source images producing textures for use in physically based rendering techniques via Lightbrush.

Using a number of example data sets the course exposes many of Photoscan’s export options. The most common being mesh, textures, cameras and point clouds and explore their uses outside of Photoscan. The principles in this course are not restricted to Maya.
