3D scanning with Reality Capture -Merging Components

[@garnwraly]

Appreciate the video! For anyone else from google, "new way" starts at 7:33

[@71gregorio]

thanks for your time explaining !! great and simple to understand video !!

[@cinemyscope6630]

Thanks for the video! Just as an FYI to everyone; the "new way" starts at 7:35.

[@EchoSevenTz]

I dont get what you get with such alignment as it will only align cameras in current component which are already aligned? We need to align same images that are in both components so the can align with each other. Or am I missing something?

[@grahamtunnadine4427]

Thanks. The best one yet. Two questions: 1) At around 14:12 setting the ground plane. Is there a way of setting it precisely. For instance, the rails or sleepers will be horizontal with the same height( or z axis). Can I set them as ground control points without knowing precisely the x or y coordinates? 2) Did anyone come up with a shortcut yet, to approve a multiple selection of those green suggestion squares yet?

[@3DJapan]

Sorry to say the answer to both is "not that I know of."

[@Outdoorshuntingshooting]

best explanation of the old system I seen. The new way is dope!

[@prankfever8877]

hello is it possible to make a 3d model of yourself without 3d scanners ????? it tried it with my phone with reality capture but i didn't work

[@3DJapan]

Sure. It should work with enough clear pictures, good lighting, and being sure you don't change facial expression. It's difficult to do by yourself though. Better to have someone else take the pictures.

[@Nitram-xw9ei]

Excellent video. Exactly what I was looking for while trying to create a large model.

[@MrPolesandzeroes]

Oh it's sooo much easier than manual aligning now! Thanks a lot for this great video! Can't stand RC workflow/interface sometimes, so chances to stumble upon it myself would be nearly zero =))))

[@3DJapan]

Yeah, it's still a little finicky sometimes but this is way easier than the old way.

[@johnnelson3641]

How Do you show both cameras when selecting when component like that?

[@jenobarta9695]

Im wondering about the same... Like you select the component with the more images aligned, and place control points based on the automatically generated alignment cloud. But how the other component with the lesser aligned photos knows about these Control Points you place on the first component? Or this is an amazing new way, but we just think about it in the old way?

[@J大侠]

I wonder too!!

[@3DJapan]

Sorry I missed this question for so long. I showed how at 3:03 The buttons at the top left let you choose different layouts, including one that shows multiple images.

[@ChristianBrogi-y3m]

Many Thanks! It's a Very good tutorial!!!!

[@EnigmaDave]

Great demo, Phil! I'm amazed that the coordination of drone shots worked so well.

[@3DJapan]

Thank you sir!

[@Orcaben1]

doesn't work for me, i can't open 2 photos separately like you are showing, but for some reason i can have both of the same photo open and behaving in the same way

[@josephdewan2087]

Have you tried using "force component rematch" in the alignment settings?

[@3DJapan]

I don't believe I know that feature. I wonder if it's new since I made the video.

[@jap71rx2]

Hello did u select all control point 1 to 6 in component 1 only eg one with most pics Then align

[@rubenbernardino6658]

That was a great trick Phil. Thanks so much!

[@wmka]

Searched for "merging components reality capture". Thank you and have a good one.

[@3DJapan]

Hope it helps!

[@yoguruji]

Why are there two components, or three when you seem to have shot just one set of photos with the drone?

[@3DJapan]

That's just the way the software separated the images. If it couldn't find enough matches to make one component it makes 2 or 3 (or more).

[@CANDQ]

I have a question. If I follow the new way of making control point, is it also possible unregistered images connected to control point? because if some images were not registered on first hand pre-alignment, I wonder how the control point can match the unregisted images later

[@3DJapan]

Honestly I'm not sure exactly how it works, it just seems to work, most of the time. There are some pics that it just won't pick up.

[@CANDQ]

@@3DJapan Thank you Phil, anyway it was an epic webinar :)

[@almostdarkslide3851]

You should start clicking on the top green square instead of the last one, at least this way you don't have to mouve the mouse. It's not the best way maybe, but it's faster anyway.

[@3DJapan]

@@almostdarkslide3851 Makes sense.

[@jorgegalvanjr.873]

Can you use a 3D camera to get the same results?

[@3DJapan]

Maybe? Probably? I've never used a 3D camera.

[@gladiatormechs5574]

when i try to texturize my model, it says ... INCREASE MAXIMAL TEXTURE COUNT OR MAXIMAL TEXTURE RESOLUTION. how do i do this ?.

[@3DJapan]

If it helps here's where I asked the same question in their forum. support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360042889331-Maximal-Texture-resolution-count-error

[@MrJohnofficial]

does not work for me with differnt pieces and contexte do i forget something? (turntable + lumix s5 in jpeg flat + 50mm at f11 + iso 4000 + sweet daylight exterior & spot light + target + white background + 5 control point + align + normal model ) The components does not merging OR merging but i juste have 2 pieces in one not aligned.

[@gobi6316]

Hello. When using "new way". Let's say I have 3 components. Do I use control points in one, like you did (which has the most images), or I should use it in other components too? Thank you.

[@3DJapan]

I'll start with the one that has the most matches and add the one with the second most, then repeat until there's only one component left. Sometimes if a component only has a couple photos it just won't match to anything and I'll just ignore that one or delete it.

[@samehbijo]

In my case, Reality capture created 6 components ,not having this issue with any other photogrammetry apps,so am not sure if it worth the effort

[@3DJapan]

I guess they're all different. RC might do better than other apps with another project. If possible I suggest trying to add some more photos around the "edges", where one component ends and another begins.

[@alanmcsheehy]

Great video Phil. Very helpfull. Thanks.

[@vii1866]

Hi! What Windows Machine do you use? Regards

[@rompowertube]

Great video! thank you! Would have been nice to see the final result in "high quality" setting :)

[@3DJapan]

That's what you see at the beginning and end. But it wasn't really the point of the video. I have other tutorials on the channel that show the highest quality.

[@rompowertube]

@@3DJapan thanks for the quick reply! I understand it wasn't the point here, just wanted to see the result since you seemed to have an impressive amount of photos and goot matches. Looked at the beginning again : great! :)

[@kenmorris2858]

Excellent tutorial...

[@OmarHebshi]

I have a problem that my project comes in a curve shape. I don't know how to tell the software is not curve.

[@3DJapan]

That's very interesting, I've never heard of that happening. All I can think is to make sure you have enough pictures on both sides. Maybe if the object is symmetrical the software gets confused? I'd suggest asking on their forum where more people can discuss it. Perhaps show pictures and screenshots. support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us/community/topics

[@TheRealJerseyJoe]

Nice job Phil !

[@3DJapan]

Thanks!

[@BROCKSGAMING]

i have two components having different orientation due to some reason if i merge them the orentation reamins same , anyone know how to change rotation of a single component

[@Zsolt67]

How can I make the orange lines visible? Sorry but also cant understand the new way. You just selecting control points but you dont make new ones. What is the pointof this? I thought new control points cn register unregistered photos or connect components.

[@3DJapan]

Maybe watch again. I click Create to make a new control point every time. The orange lines aren't really necessary but if you really want them go to the View tab and check the box for Residuals. The point is that it's a lot easier than the old way.

[@mahntasticfilms6906]

Man I give up. I’ve been having issues with my images. I tried setting up the control points but still not merging most images together like yours is

[@3DJapan]

Hard to tell without trying myself but there are some sets that just won't merge. Either they need more pictures, more details, or the focus is not good.

[@mahntasticfilms6906]

@@3DJapan does it matter what camera is being used? I was shooting with Sony A7sii. Maybe the lens i'm using. Anyways I just tried shooting with my iphone with manual settings. It's actually working now haha and it looks great

[@patrichcsong]

good!!! video ~ Thanks so much!!!

[@3DJapan]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@maximusaugustus4976]

Nice video, thanks. You don't need to click on "create" each time as "control point" is ilighted.

[@3DJapan]

They may have changed it since I made the video. Some cool things have been happening with the program lately!

[@edikus1]

молодец! все понятно без перевода , спасибо!

[@3DJapan]

Пожалуйста (I hope that is correct)

[@edikus1]

exactly . Oh sorry my mistake with wrong language=)

[@BenEncounters]

I tried doing this but I just get the exact same components

[@DearestHershel]

Having the same issue. Did you ever find a workaround? Cheers.

[@BenEncounters]

@@DearestHershel hmmm not really I just considered that scan was not gonna work well

[@BenEncounters]

Suprisingly it worked better in Metashape. I think in my case RC would be better to use in combination with laser scanners

[@YashwanthNaiduTikkisetty]

Hey Phil, Found out a way to Validate those control points faster. 1) Select the image that has control point 2) Click and Drag the Control Point 3) Press Down arrow to confirm the control points. To cancel, the selection, use right click. It was mentioned here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWGTkKCCm8erbNE

[@3DJapan]

Always happy to hear a new technique! The software may have changed since I made this video too.

[@hwanj8744]

thx, bro!👍

[@huyked]

Cool stuff!

[@huuthanhnguyen3910]

Dear Sir, What software are you using?

[@3DJapan]

It says it in the title and the description. Reality Capture.

[@phab2protango374]

Me stuck with the same problem

[@3DJapan]

Hopefully it helps. I'm using it on an older set of photos I shot last year and in my case I really just think I didn't shoot enough photos.

[@phab2protango374]

@@3DJapan It does Thanks a ton I used a dji Spark 2 set of photos in same flight , obviously also same location One set ,camera straight down Another set 45° , trying to get side view.... I get 2 models, overlapping each other. for a long time I thought alignment was wrong, but later realised that if you only viewed one model , everything was right

[@raymondstpaul4913]

What software are you using?

[@astralstormgamestudios1259]

I always do it wrong 😂 I make points in both component 1&2 on the same places, and that results in mesh will be duplicated some where weirdly... So only shit loads with points in one component and then allign again

[@Someone-pg3rn]

579 Photoghs of a landroverr defender and i only get the back of the car with the right side. lol

[@3DJapan]

Cars are tricky unless maybe if the car is really dirty or has a lot of rust or something on it. The software needs as much random detail as possible to work. They're also shiny which confuses the software. I did it once by spraying the whole car randomly with dry shampoo, which just wipes off or comes off in the rain.

[@Someone-pg3rn]

@@3DJapan thx for the reply, ok

[@TheMikernet]

There are some videos on doing shiny objects. You take 2 sets of photos: one with the normal object for texturing and another after you spray it with some matte substance for meshing when it's not shiny.
