    Description

    Have you ever been tasked with creating a 3D model of real-life buildings? Did you find the experience long and frustrating due to the difficulty of taking proper photos using a handheld camera? Technology has advanced to the point that we can use high-quality and relatively inexpensive drones to create 3D models of real-life buildings. These models can then serve as a source to create a low-poly counterpart, including textures. See how to use this time- and money-saving workflow through the use of drone photogrammetry, ReCap Photo software, and 3ds Max software.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn about taking the right type of photos using a drone.
    • Learn about using ReCap Photo to create a 3D model using drone-captured photos.
    • Learn about using 3ds Max to create a textured low poly model based on the high poly model created with photogrammetry.
