assignment one (cont.)

 Above: Progression of Models

The first three models of the sequence above were created with 20, 40, and 70 images. With more details being featured in the 40 and 70 image models, I decided to utilize every other image I had available (thanks Patrick and Cory!) Running 50 images on high quality, I was provided with the fourth model above. Although this provided me with a solid base, the face was still rather indistinguishable. 

  Above: Higher Quality Bust

I returned to the 50 images I had utilized and decided to crop each from my elbows up. Having isolated the section and running the images on high quality, I was left with a much more distinct bust. I attempted to do the same with the rest of the images from my elbows to my hips, and again from my hips to my feet, but there were not enough unique characteristics in those particular sections to align the images properly. With an identifiable bust and a solid base, I decided to combine the two.

The model above is the result of combining the bust and the base body of the fourth model. The two sections were stitched together manually, as the mesh was too complex for blender's beauty fill and netfabb's auto-fill. I am intending on utilizing the left side of the model and a few of the changes I plan to make are: sculpting the hair to better reflect my sketch, creating more definition in the arm (separating it from the body), and sculpting the foot.

assignment one (cont.)

Above: Attempt 1
One 360 degree sweep composed of roughly 20 images 
Above: Attempt 2 (in appropriate attire) 
One overall 360 set composed of roughly 20 images,
one 360 set from the shoulders up composed of roughly 10 images,
and one 360 set from mid-thigh down composed of roughly 10 images
Above: Exported Models

After seeing the results of two test runs, I'm planning on running three 360 degrees scans: feet to waist, waist to neck, neck to head. Running this in three sections, I'm hoping that features will be better interpreted as they're extremely generalized. I do recognize that there is an organic flow in my gown and socks as a result of them hanging off of my frame, as well as a flatness to my facial profile, so I think it would also be wise to bump up the number of images I'm utilizing to 30-50, in an effort to acquire more precision. From word of mouth from friends and having used the program once before, 50 was unanimously the magic number for a decent scan. Crossin' the fingers this works!
