Tres Yonis Synth

In this short video I show a time lapse movie of the rising sun bringing out the details of petroglyphs on a site in West Texas. Following that I show an animation of a 3D model created from a Photosynth point cloud.

i have a question... how did you turn the pointcloud into a 3d model? i have tried to do this in meshlab many times but never got a good outcome... i would be glad if you could help me...

@DanFrederiksen, the reconstruction is fairly much as robust as your coverage of any given surface.

Things to keep in mind are getting a fair number of views of any given part of a surface. Orbits are one good way to mentally organise a massive amount of coverage, but any sort of pattern which provides parallax will do.

VERY impressive!  Great Job!! What 3D rendering program did you use for a textureless render?

[DanFrederiksen]

very solid reconstruction. I didn't think photosynth was that robust. is it always that good?

Lovely! Thanks for the breakdown.

Wow, this is great. But how did you get teh point cloud our of Photosynth?

Brilliant! After being up until 2am, the music is just what I needed to sooth my nerves and the wonderful images were what I needed for renewed inspiration. Thank you for sharing your genius.

Very Nice Synth! pretty amazing how dense your point cloud is.
