Hi all,

i finally added some more pictures and comparison pictures to a Blender technique
and finally decided to release my quick technique.

Hope you like!

P.S. My technique may not give good results with hard surface models,
due to reasons unknown to me.

The next step would be to combine this technique with
photometric stereo images taken from family members,
friends or co-workers... ;-)

Stefan

Stefan, Thank you for posting your techniques.

You're welcome Brian.

In the end you decided to reveal something of your work flow, thank you.. ;)

But with blender I get nice result without any other software..
Below a first test with z-depth shader, there are a node to generate a good normal map useful for your method.

and below the z-depth node for displacement..

Hi,

cool, but i no longer use Blender. Maybe i have to take a look at Blender again.

The area above the rear wheel looks to me distorted, or is the model also
at that place distorted?

Stefan
