Photogrammetry is the process of extracting measurement data from photographs. With enough images of an object from different angles, we can use software to reconstruct that object as a 3D model. Videogrammetry works the same way, only it uses video footage as the source of these measurements.
Sampler does not support videogrammetry directly. To use Sampler’s 3D Capture tool, you will submit a series of still images into the wizard. That said, anybody could use a tool like Photoshop, or a video editing software to extract still images from a video. For best results, we recommend capturing high-resolution still images.
Creating 3D objects from images is a great way to augment your 3D pipeline. While objects that may be prominently featured in a shot may merit the detail and care of hands-on modeling, many shots are made up of countless objects. An artist or team can save lots of time by using photogrammetry to produce realistic
3D assets.
