Photogrammetry with Autodesk _lab Project Photofly

[john]

Interesting new tech for public testing from Autodesk Labs. Generate 3D mesh / texture from 2D photos using cloud computing.

While the idea is not new, photofly is different because of its ease of use and requires basically no special setup but a good fixed focal length lens and digital camera.

Here is my first attempt using Photofly, photos taken with a prosumer DSLR.

Not bad for 30 minutes of work taking the photos and another 30 min to setup the Maya scene.

If anyone is interested I have written a demo & review and more examples on my blog

Pretty cool stuff!
