General / art noob needs help
« on: December 20, 2015, 09:21:51 PM »
Hello all
Very excited to start scanning with a UAV and using Photoscan to create models for use in art projects and independent films.
While Photoscan is a great application, there seems to be only a few general tutorial videos and even fewer people using it. Really wish there was a Lynda.com course (or similar) or a live person in Philadelphia PA USA area I could pay for lessons.
I've had some mild success, but I am trying to map a part of a cemetery with mostly low tombstones, but with some soaring monuments as well. You can see them like starbursts in the model at the link.
I realize I need to include images (which I have) that are perpendicular (rather than parallel) to the ground (I don't even know the terms I need to more accurately describe this) but I don't really understand how I can get these two different data sets to merge - I tried and after 24 hours of processing it came out as mush. I don't really understand how the masking tools work (how are they intelligent ? They just seem to shade the area of the mask - is it intelligent in the way it is comped with other images?)
Anyway, I need some help, but I am really determined to learn this, as it seems this opens a whole new way of thinking about imaging for me.
Thanks,
Michael
