Meshroom: 3D models from photos using free photogrammetry software

Meshroom turns photographs into 3D models using a process called photogrammetry. This video provides a couple of demonstrations, including clean-up of the final output in Meshmixer for render or 3D print. Meshroom can be downloaded from the AliceVision website here: https://alicevision.org/ And it has a great manual (including a beginners tutorial) here: https://meshroom-manual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/sketchfab/sketchfab.html Information on “Draft Meshing” – which allows Meshroom to be used without an NVIDIA GPU, is here: https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/wiki/Draft-Meshing Meshmixer can be downloaded from: https://www.meshmixer.com/ My previous video in which used AutoDesk 123D Catch to turn the wooden elephant into a 3D model is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTCiOoedUco – However, note that this is now an historical curiosity, as 123D Catch required a connection to cloud resources. So even if you could obtain a copy of the program, it would no longer work. Today, Meshroom really is the way to go.
