Photoscan a Person into 3D in a Day! - Dev Tips | Myrkur Games

In this video, our Art Director and Lead Character Artist introduce us to our brief history of photoscanning, and then proceed to scan Eiríkur, the Vlog Director and Lead Level Designer.
This vlog does take place over a few days because Eiríkur had to go into quarantine while we were filming, but Jói's work from Photoscan to 3D model was done in less than 8 hours!

This looks great! One tip is to put rig arm with tennis ball on top so people can rest their head which removes head movement. Wish you luck with new gear!

Finally.....A new video. I waited 1+ month for a new vid. Thanks for uploading and enjoying the content as always❤️

I wanted to comment on this 😅 but anyways, let's hope they'll try to be consistent

[@synextreme]

@@brian_obino It's worth the wait Tbh, because I get to see the behind the scenes of making a video game. I have been watching the vids on this channel for more than 1+ year and I really can't wait to play their game.

[@MyrkurGames]

You guys are too nice! Happy new year!

saw some cool vids u deserve a sub

[@pawelfabjanski]

This photogrammetry rig is pretty amazing! Good job! One question: with your setup is it possible to extract normal map from the photogrpahic material you capture? Or maybe you re-use normal maps from other characters to include more detail in the scanned head?

[@MyrkurGames]

Thanks! We don't get micro detail from our scans, so we add them in via displacement maps in Zbrush and then bake them down. The displacement texture fits onto our UV's which all our head meshes share so it's easy to reuse them between meshes.

Hey bro why do you use agisoft Photoscan ?

[@revanthreva8217]

I would like to know how do you reuse the blendshapes from another model?

[@MyrkurGames]

Thanks to some serious magic from Daníel, our Character Technical Artist! There's loads of automation, custom scripting, and blood-sacrifices to the Code Gods involved.

@@ameeaty4088 depends on people tbh. But using a color accurate screen with decent frame rate is recommended

@@kaustubhjagtapa1364 Ah, well. There is no real camera needed for that. We use an ipad and a virtual camera app that we stream into unreal using live link.
