Italian artist Gabriele Simonetta has implemented a photogrammetry workflow to help layout and provide reference for an impressive scene he created depicting a street in rural Italy. In a forum post titled ‘A day at the sleepy village’, Simonetta unveiled several charming and photorealistic images from his most recent project, a study in collaboration with […]

Recreating a classic in Blender
Edward Hopper’s 1942 oil on canvas painting Nighthawks is one of my favourites. It depicts a group of people in a quiet corner diner at night. I always loved the contrast between the bright yellow interior and the dark and lonely street. Inspired by the painting I decided to try and model the same scene […]
Stunning mountain hut photogrammetry
Photogrammetry enthusiast and SketchFab user PeterPWS has created a stunning capture of a snow-dusted hut on Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain. The Cradle Mountain Kitchen Hut provides a safe refuge for weary hikers along Cradle Mountain’s Cradle Plateau. The structure was commissioned in 1939 by the Cradle Mountain Reserve Board, built at a location referred to as […]
Scanning a fence in Melbourne
This is a fence at the side of an apartment block in East Melbourne, painted with a mural of blue deer and these ethereal yellow tentacles. The model was created using 80 photos shot on a Nikon D5100 with the stock 18-55mm lens, processed with Agisoft Metashape and finished with Blender. The final mesh was […]
Modelling the White Cliffs of Dover using video data
It’s interesting what can be generated with some random data, or at least data that was not created for the purposes of photogrammetry. The right set of images sourced from multiple places or a sharp enough piece of video can make for some cool experiments in point cloud generation. To demonstrate this, we grabbed some […]
