Social distancing day 1091 (only 4 more days to 3 full years!)

Bog safari – so many squirrels and a broad assortment of birds including, but not limited to : starlings, bluebirds, bluejay, some sort of red birds, a few cardinals, and a turkey vulture. Also seen, two senior humans with a beautiful collie puppy (maybe a sheltie?)

Swampwalk breakdown – 50⁰F, sunny, didn’t get too winded aalking until I hit the really unsteady terrain. Swamp is well into showing signs of springtime already, even though the equinox isn’t for another 2 weeks or so. (Prime cherry blossom time in DC then, from what I hear, too)

Little bits of green are popping out of the gray and brown, and pollen is already well into production, if the windows of the Black Pearl is any indication.

Hope you have a good day! https://instagr.am/p/CplF1ItM0is/

Printing up some crates and barrels and a cauldron for Sisto and Harold to have as some props. (And to store some tiny props, like little blasters, frogs, swords, etc. the crates snap shut nicely. )

This metallic pink stuff prints like a dream, and sands well too. The matte green was stringing quite a bit, but made for a fantastic “army man” look.

Liked on YouTube: Meshroom: 3D models from photos using free photogrammetry software

Meshroom turns photographs into 3D models using a process called photogrammetry. This video provides a couple of demonstrations, including clean-up of the final output in Meshmixer for render or 3D print.

Meshroom can be downloaded from the AliceVision website here:
https://bit.ly/3YqvnFd

And it has a great manual (including a beginners tutorial) here:
https://bit.ly/3ZrKWhe

Information on “Draft Meshing” – which allows Meshroom to be used without an NVIDIA GPU, is here:
https://bit.ly/3ZrKWxK

Meshmixer can be downloaded from:

My previous video in which used AutoDesk 123D Catch to turn the wooden elephant into a 3D model is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTCiOoedUco – However, note that this is now an historical curiosity, as 123D Catch required a connection to cloud resources. So even if you could obtain a copy of the program, it would no longer work. Today, Meshroom really is the way to go.
