Greetings, all.
I've seen some very good work by VR producers with Object Modeling. Seems like an interesting venture so I thought I'd see what's involved. I can see now that it can be quite tedious and time consuming to get good results... especially without the proper equipment (turntable, camera mount, etc.)
But just for grins I fashioned a make-shift "turntable" out of a cardboard box, wax paper, a thumb tack, tupperware lid and a piecee of string (don't laugh! It's what I had lying around.) I also wanted to try something difficult to photograph, so I borrowed a tiny glass elephant from my wife's collection. Glass turned out to be quite a challenge to capture because of its transparency. Anyway, the whole thing was done entirely by hand in PhotoShop (way too much work!) But it didn't turn out too bad for what I had to work with.
If anyone's interested, I posted the Model here. I'd like to try out ModelWeaver. to see if saves some time.
Thanks,
Brian Jackson - RotoPix
