Is Mobile Lidar any Good for VFX? - Polycam and Syntheyes

In this video we are going to take a look at the lidar capabilities on the IPhone 16 Pro and wether it's good enough for VFX work. And a basic workflow using Polycam, Blender, Syntheyes and Resolve Fusion. First we will use Polycam to do our scan, although you could probably use other apps. Then we bring it into Blender where we will re-scale and position our scan to the origin. When we are done we will export our model to use in Syntheyes for 3D Tracking. Using the model to create seed points on the mesh will allow us to use the model to help in our solve. After we are get our accurate camera solve we will export out the camera to DaVinci Resolve Fusion where will set up a test render to check our accuracy. Although the accuracy is impressive it certainly can't compete with professional lidar scanning, but there is a lot we can do with the mobile scanning. ***HOLIDAY SPECIAL 20% OFF the entire site through Friday Dec 20th!
