In the first DVD of this image
modeling series, Greg Downing teaches you how to transform
your film or digital photographs into highly realistic 3D models.
Image modeling, known as photogrammetry, is a general tool
that is useful for visual effects, videogames, visualizations
that require digitizing real sets, props, or in some cases,
characters. Once the objects are image modeled, any 3D manipulation
is possible: adding, removing or destroying parts of a scene,
adding effects such as fog, or camera moves that would be impossible
with a real movie camera. Greg shows how to photograph for
photogrammetry, and introduces how to calibrate, model and
texture with Realviz ImageModeler. He finally shows how to
import the textured models into the 3D application of your
choice.
Over 3 1/2 hours of lecture.
