Quick dynamesh bug

2011-09-26T22:18:00.000-07:00

Here's a quick model I made using dynamesh. I only spend like an hour and a half on it. But so far dynamesh is pretty cool and fast for quick concepts design in 3d . I might take a stab on making my snow flake bug next time....

Time to get Fly

2011-06-11T01:02:00.000-07:00

For the last few days I been playing around with this new beta software from autodesk called Project photofly. At first glance it appear to be to be good for what it advertise it can do...Can it actually deliver a good output? Over the years I tried a variety of software that deal with photogrammetry and the results always terrible, but this time the results are surprisingly good, not great but usable.

In these first test Im experimenting with 2 type of cameras and the amount of images that im using taking to created these models.

Here's some screen grabs from maya and photofly

Here's another test I did of an exterior .
