So we just dived right into photogrammetry and started taking photos of objects. I first tried 123D Catch but it stalled a couple of times and once it ran the processing to 100% it gave an empty model, so I switched to Autodesk Memento Beta. They're both cloud software so the process can be quite slow, but Memento at least gave me something in the model.

I wanted to scan a ring I made out of deer antler. First I set it upright and used small spotligts to get better quality photos. I took 20, or so, pictures walking around the setup, but some of the pictures were too blurry to use so I ended up with not enough pictures for the scan.


I wanted to try a different approach. I set the ring on our heat press bed that is dark rubber. My idea was to have a blank background and roll the object on a small platform. Well the program ended up kind of blurring the ring and platform. The opposite of what I wanted. So this is not how to do it.



Valuable lessons learned here I hope. I'll update this project once I get a successful scan.
