TGA Digital - Photogrammetry Overview (Try it yourself!) 

So freakin astonishing what we can do with technology today. Just take a bunch of pictures, click a few buttons, and you've got a high quality mesh that would take hours upon hours to sculpt, and even more time to paint. Amazing. Definitely considering the course, I'd really love to learn more.

Thank you, This is still helpful after 7 years :)

This video saves me 15 days of my previous work on Designing Human head. I wish i knew this earlier. This is big help for me

Of all the videos I e watched this one was the easiest to follow! Great job and I am going to follow this tutorial for my first attempt! Thanks!

I have been using the program for 5 days now, you taught me somethings I needed to know. Thank you!

Wow....THATS WHATS CALLED A TUTORIAL !!! awesome...no questions asked in the end. Fantastic job!!!! and thank you so much for your time!!!

This is the future of 3D modeling for assets that can be photographed. 'Photogrammetrist' will be a job title!

Thank you for putting up a very usable tutorial finally learned something that gives me results!!! looking to see continuation in the topology aspect

Wow, the most thorough and thoughtful workflow walkthrough I've seen for Agisoft Photoscan so far. Thanks for all the detailed recommendations as well!

Still so relevant for Beginners. Thank you very much.

Agreed: "Wow." You, clearly, know what you're talking about because you present it so clearly. (I find myself hoping, hoping that Photoscan is more affordable now than when I last looked...)

This is the best guide on Photogrammetry that I have seen so far. Thanks!

I'm hella glad a stumbled onto this video. I am an eagerly looking forward to executing this method, as 3d scanners have failed me numerous times. great tutorial, thank you!

Kostas has developed into a great teacher and mentor.

Good tutorial. Amazing how hard it is to find good tutorials on photoscan.

Thanks alot for this wonderful lecture. Its over four years since this was done. It's still awesome. Let me have a look at other videos as well.

Great in-depth tutorial - thanks for doing it!

Very cool. Would love to see the continuation of this video, ie the retopologization process. Thank you!

Great! I'll be taking your course too now. I need to figure out the workflow for texture fixing after decimation in Blender.

so so so great and easy tutirial . thanks so much

I am just getting into this as a hobby and the video tutorial was excellent. Thank you for the detailed content.

This tutorial was really helpfull! Thank you so much! Its really hard finding good info on Photoscan out there. Thanks again so much! Awesome job!

Great video Thanks you, Best Description I've found on the subject. Would love to see more on how to clean the model- patch holes etc

Thanks this was just what I wanted as an overview to trying Photogrammetry out.

Wonderful tutorial and very happy with the software!

Thank you so much i finally digitally recreated my drone thanks a bunch

best photogrammetry tutorial in world thanx for it u got +1 sub

Thanks alot for this man! It will go a long way in introducing me to the world of 3D.

can you make a dropbox folder with these pictures so we can try it with these photo sets

Beautiful tutorial indeed. I loved it all the way. Thanks for sharing dude.

thanks really clear and to the point

holy crap this software is amazing

It's awesome, pretty clean, I can't wait to do it by myself, (with some help with the camera :D) I would love to see how to build a indoor set with targets and chroma and maybe outside with helpers to make scenarios, anyway, great production. Thanks for sharing with us.

Its really nice. few of my things already sorted out with this tutorial. thanks for sharing.

Amazing tutorial, thank you for the step by step guide. Clear and comprehensive. I have a suggestion, i would have love to see more inspection of the final object. Going around and showing the all the detail, would have been nice. But otherwise amazing work.

Thanks for the nice tutorial! I don't know much about photogrammetry but you are helping me ramping up

can't believe it is 2015! and now 2019, Im waiting for something cool as this one

Great vid. Very neat. I will try it. Thank you

Very great tutorial. Thank you.

0.0 Holy shit this was incredible! I'm going to have to try this. Can you export the model to blender or other free modelling programs used by poor people (like me)? Also this seems like it would be incredible in conjunction with a VR headset to create a truly immerse world without the boundaries of graphics holding back the experience! Oh man your killing me, thanks for the awesome tutorial!

Great and simple to follow many thanks. I'd love to see a 'clean up' tutorial next :-)

I wonder if he shaved his head to make scanning easier

Excellent tutorial....thank you!

Thank you so much!! I can now use this to make awesome special effect videos that involve using CGI type models!!!!

Just love this. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you very much for this tutorial! Photogrammiting helps a lot when working in 3D :D

Awesome tutorial Kostas!

thx for this focused explanation!

Thank you SO much!

Great video. Thanks

Lovely and to the point... thanks

Very nice tutorial. Thanks for the upload

Amazing software..........!

Awsome tutorial, very usefull...

awesome tutorial ♥ Thank you man

Really good explanation. thank you.

Muchas Gracias Exelentemente bien explicado. Thank you very much very well explained!

Πολύ καλή η ανάλυση σου, αν έβαζες και το αποτέλεσμα που παίρνουμε από την δημιουργία σε ένα 3d εκτυπωτή θα ήσουν τέλειος. Τώρα για το θέμα που υπάρχει συνήθως στο πάνω μέρος του κεφαλιού ,που δημιουργείται αυτό το κενό νομίζω αν βάλεις 3 σημεία αναφοράς π.χ. 3 χρωματιστά μικρά πιν θα έχεις καλύτερο αποτέλεσμα.

Hello TGA DIGITAL, I would LOVE to see a cleaned up model! Would you retop it? Or throw it into Zbrush and Decimate it? How do you use the texture information if you UV the head? ANY information would BE AMAZING! In fact if you wanted to do a Series for CG or Game assets using this head and slapping onto a body...and even rig it, I wouldn't be mad at you at all!! Thanks for any help! This really rocked!

I am completely new to all this camera, so can you maybe list the component and camera model that you used in your video please.

Thanks for GPU option info.

Thank you for best photogrammetry tutorial on RU-vid. I believe I have followed every step and made many many attempts at this point, but I get absolutely no results at all. I just get background dots. No object AT ALL. Any chance you might could advise? Maybe look at some of the photos I'm using and tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Excellent Video

Awesome! Thank you!

I have a question. When snapping the photos (via iPhone) I can hold down the shutter button and it will just walk around whatever object I'm trying to shoot. This will create some blurry images in the burst as I am walking around in motion, but it does allow me to take many photos in a short period of time. Is it better to take few photos that are sharp or many that are blurryish?

super thank you, my brotha from anotha motha

Great video! You do an excellent job of explaining the steps. Can this software be used to generate 3-D CAD models too? For a relatively simple object? And then from the CAD model to 3-D printing software?

Do not delete points... Points should only be deleted at the end of the process. After the process is completed then we must clean the points, if we do it before we will have holes in our object.

Thank you so much

Good tutorial, thanks!

Can you provide some sample photos so we can play around with them?

thank you so much. God bless you

amazing job what was the megapixels of the reference pictures? also can you upload the 3D model head so we can sample with the texture? I plan on download demo tonight :)

It will be useful put graphical markers over the head to help photoscan to fill the head. What do you think?

Might be useful to create reference points by drawing onto your skin with a marker in certain troublesome spots

Does this export to an STL file for 3D printing? Thank you

Great video, very informative :)

Thank you for this very complete tutorial. People use landmarks. Is it useful with a face? In all the tutos that I could see, the result is grainy (orange peel aspect). Is it possible to avoid it or erase it in post-treatment? I use google translation.

You look similar to yourself

Turns his face into the face of Darth Plaegus -I still think this is perfectly fine

Fantastic a really big help.

Thank you.

Hello, thanks you for this video. that help really for my project! I just have a one question. if i installe my object on the transparent floor, could i have a bottom of the object?

For getting a tracking point on top of the head, would it help to put a red dot sticker on the subjects head and edit it out later?

Thanks for tutorial.

excuse me , I want to ask , if made ​​using 40 webcam studio photogrammetry whether the result will be the maximum ?

Amazing tutorial...but I have a problem. I did exactly the same but when I import in 3ds max (or cinema 4d) the quality is very low. I did "built texture" but in 3ds max it looks like I didn't do it. Could you help me? Thanks

Thats quite a nice face/head scan using just one camera... How much icomplicated it is to do? I mean mainly for the "actor", is it hard to stand still for that period of time while someone other is quickly capturing the scan using only one DSLR camera?

AWESOME MAN THANK YOU!

All those steps u showed... Are they really possible to do in just TRIAL VERSION ?

Excellent !

You show a crop sensor camera, and recommend a 50mm lens, that would be very different in full frame camera.

Extremely helpful tutorial! Does the photoscan software have a functionality to create a colour altitude map (thermal map or heat map) of the 3D model? Thanks again!

For the pictures, what options do yo use for color? Do you use the normal setting, or do you dim the saturation and contrast, so you can later color correct it?

Great pedagogy. I'm going to look at your udemy channel.

Hey, this is great... can't wait to try it myself. My good camera has still not arrived (already ordered one after I sold my last one. Is there any way you can post a link with those photos or some all around photos to follow the tutorial step by step? Thanks a lot.

I have tryed this 8 times now with no luck. Thou I use my phones camera, 12megapixels.

Amazing lesson thank you, also can you tell me how to fix misaligned/unaligned photos ? can I use smartphone like Samsung galaxy note 3 ? exacltly how much photos should I take ?

Hello. Thank you for a great tutorial, i also love the course on udemy. I'm just wondering. I have a lens that is 50 mm and a zoom lens, ranging from 18 - 135 mm. I used the 50 mm lens, but the thing is, it's a macro lens. making the depth very noticable, which made the pictures quite blurry on the parts futher back, this became a problem when i took close up shots. My results did not end up very good in photoscan, i'm wondering if the depth blur might be the reason. Do you suggest to avoid a macro lens? My aperture was at maximum (22f). Also. What about rotating the object you are photographing rather than taking shots att different angles? It wasnt mentioned in the course, but i figured it might work since we mask the pictures. Thank you!

I'm guessing you took the pictures at Beijerskajen in Malmö, right? :) Good work on the video, very informative.
