Ah ok, I thought I was late or doing something off that coupon doesnt work

Thanks a lot for the quick answer! Very nice tutorial by the way!

Or if it works on the 8000ish package....in fact you'll end up with even more credits and RC still makes some money

[@Mortennj]

@@thethoeby I tried that. - when I use the coupon I get 1% of... which is pretty weird. - Paypal nothing happens - the button Next does not work.

[@CinecomCrew]

Wauw! I honestly thought it was much more complex to make those photorealistic scans. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@CriyoTec]

odd to find big youtubers with no comments and no likes

[@The9PointStar]

it is, the whole process involve the retopo and optimization process which is not done in this tutorial

[@thethoeby]

Well everything looks easy if you know how and what to do

[@dawudmc]

​@@CriyoTecThe effort alone, it took to capture those hundreds and hundreds of Photos.. not easy at all. Also, all the processes are not in the Video, errors, deleted/unsused Photos, rendering and everything else, can take days. And if it rains? ..or is Dark? This is complex and timeconsuming, but really good for those who need photorealism or don´t want to/can´t model complex geometries.

[@Killswitch1411]

@@The9PointStar Not with UE5 you import a full Res Model and use Nanite, no retopo needed. Did you not watch to the end of the video?

[@EugeneLychany]

That scan turned out so well, I'm amazed at the quality you got there. Great job!

[@iFishSLO]

This is, hands-down, the most informative and interesting tutorial I have ever seen... and I've seen a lot. Keep up the great work, William!

[@RudeCanine]

I'm not an "asset maker", but dear god this is so interesting and amazing to look at. The final product is so incredibly well put together. Definitely a game changer for game development (no pun intended)

[@AdiusOmega]

William has been absolutely killin it with the content lately. Isn't it amazing that so many tools are at our disposal for no cost at all? We live in a golden age of artwork and creativity. Not only are the tools for creation free but people like this are willing to share their wealth of knowledge as well. The future is incredibly bright for all 3D artists of the world. The whole movement is worth a standing ovation.

[@submerg5d383]

yeah its amazing how many free tools are at our disposal. and an even greater amount of free tutorials and education

absolutely amazing! finally I understand how RealityCapture Works. Thank you William! you are the best

[@adrainwolfe950]

As someone who has always procrastinated on truly absorbing 3D workflows, it was retopolization and corresponding UV map stuff that always felt like it was just an astronomical workflow to undertake. I feel like UE5's Nanite is one of the biggest gamechangers ever for high-detail 3d workflows. So amazing.

@@WilliamFaucher Thank you for all your videos. I am currently studying to be an mediadesigner in Hamar and i am working on a personal film to put on my portfolio before the end of May. Your videos are so helpful in UE5 and also in some general knowledge about filming in general.

[@vrguytokyo]

dude... THIS is EXACTLY the kinda tutorial and walkthrough I needed to see! Ive watched a ton of videos on this topic including Pwnisher (super awesome but more in detail about the computer work and working UE) .. many are nicely done but they all sorta skip out on the full details of the actual grunt work.. just grinding at every angle possible but also showing that one does not need to elevate the camera to the height of the subject. No doubt it would be better but there are many cases a monopod or tripod would not be allowed or accepted...Especially the kind needed to get 30ft or higher! thanks!

[@blackivy011]

Wow such an amazing tutorial thank you! I have never heard of this technology until now. I've created a game in UE4 before but I never dreamed of being able to put a model together like that with software and a camera. I am going to put my house in UE4 XD! Thanks again! So awesome.

[@chrislang47]

I didn't realise how easy (kind of) it is to use just pictures to make a mesh and textures. Woah! Also I think that the code is working again, thank you so much for showing this off and giving a full guide

[@WilliamFaucher]

I wish best of luck in your photogrammetry adventures! Also the code works? You tried it?

[@alainportant6412]

[@masonpobst]

2:55 For people who aren't going to use a tripod and are newer to photography, I personally recommend a minimum of 1/125 for your shutter speed no matter what (unless you're going above 60mm). It's the slowest you can really go without having to worry at all about having motion blur from your hands shaking.

[@WilliamFaucher]

Definitely not bad advice! Obviously the faster the better for this, but often there’s just not enough light outdoors at 1/125th at f/10 :)

[@masonpobst]

@@WilliamFaucher Would a camera flash help with that without washing out any details or is it just something you think isn't worth worrying about

[@WilliamFaucher]

@@masonpobst The guys at quixel use flash, but it has to be consistent. I don't think I would flash on a subject as large as the cabin I shot here. Smaller subjects though, flash would be great, just make sure it is cross-polarized.

[@patrickletourneau8177]

Generally the rule on full frame is "Focal length x2". IE 100mm lens == at least 1/200, 20mm lens at least 1/40. Having image stabilizing lenses can get you some leeway too

[@Chuck_Sexton]

@@patrickletourneau8177 I don't know what rule that is lol.. I'm also not trying to be mean or rude in anyway. I do event/corporate photography and yeah you need to shoot higher with a higher shutter speed than you think. You also don't have to stop down to f10. I also have shot a crap ton of real-estate, F8 will get you just as much in focus.

[@Ben7Seven]

Thats just amazing... Very nice tutorial!! thx
