“Greg
Downing's work with photogrammetry and high dynamic range imaging has
helped light the way for CG artists around the world to take advantage
of these photoreal image creation technologies .”

In the second DVD of this image
modeling series, Greg Downing delves into more advanced photogrammetry
techniques. This lesson teaches you how to perform image-based
modeling and texturing within Maya using cameras calibrated
for Realviz ImageModeler. Greg shows you how using panoramas
for photogrammetry allows you to construct a location with
a minimal number of images. He then illustrates how to calibrate
those panoramas in Realviz ImageModeler for image-based modeling
and texturing within Maya. This DVD assumes a basic familiarity
with polygonal modeling, and though the examples are demonstrated
within Maya, the workflow is applicable to any 3D package.
Over 2 1/2 hours of lecture.
