Step-by-Step Photogrammetry using Reality Capture - Key of Erebor Micro Singularity 2022-12-20 | In this step-by-step photogrammetry demonstration, I am going to show you how I 3D scanned the "Key of Erebor" from the Hobbit movies using photogrammetry in Reality Capture from Epic Games.In the latest version of Reality Capture, you can now export your models to Sketchfab for free.In this demonstration I used a Sony RX100 Mark II camera and a cheap cake decorating turntable from Ebay. The lightbox was also purchased cheaply from Ebay.I took photos of the key from all angles at two heights and then flipped the key over and took more photos from two additional angles. I then imported these images separately into Reality capture, masked the images to remove the turntable from the images and then reconstructed the mesh from all photos.Sketchfab Modelssketchfab.com/drmdouglass/models

Electron Trees with Blender Geometry Nodes Micro Singularity 2022-09-24 | In this blender video I demonstrate an application of the new Blender 3.3 geometry nodes, shortest path node which allows you to make Electron trees, also known as Lichtenberg figures. You may be familiar with this type of art from the movie “Sweet Home Alabama”.In this video, I show some simulated electron trees which are made with high energy particle accelerators which direct the radiation towards an insulating material, in this case, acrylic. As the radiation deposits energy in the acrylic or plexiglass, charge is accumulated in the plastic which is unable to escape. By damaging the edge of the plastic with a grounded tool such as a screwdriver, the charge is allowed to escape and creates these amazing Electron trees inside the plastic.

Blender 3.1 Real Caustics! - How to make a Swimming Pool Tutorial Micro Singularity 2021-12-29 | In this tutorial I am going to show you how to make a semi-realistic swimming pool with real refractive caustics using the experimental Blender 3.1 branch. The Cycles render has always supported caustics but due to how the cycles Render engine works, it was always virtually impossible to render realistic caustics because of the number of samples required to converge. But in this experimental version of Blender, you can now render realistic caustics in glass, water and other transparent materials.

How to Render Blender Scenes on Google Colab while you Sleep Micro Singularity 2021-12-02 | I’ve got a really quick but hopefully really helpful tutorial for everyone today. If you’ve been rendering your blender scenes on google colab for a while, you might have found that colab will occasionally disconnect unless you click on the screen once every so often. I’ve found this really annoying ,so today I’m going to show you how to fix this. This solution comes from Jeff Heaton from his YouTube channel on training deep learning models on Google Colab.You just need to run a small Java script in your browser to simulate a mouse click every once in a while.Here is the code:github.com/drmichaeldouglass/blenderGoogleGPU/blob/main/ColabTimeoutJavaScriptHere is all my code on running Blender on Google Colab:github.com/drmichaeldouglass/blenderGoogleGPU#blender #colab
3D Scanning with Metascan - Lidar and Photogrammetry on iPhone 13 Micro Singularity 2021-11-26 | Hi Everyone,In this review of the Metascan app for iPhone and iPad, I hope to demonstrate why this is the best lidar scanning and photogrammetry app available on the apple store right now.The LiDAR 3D Scanner produces the cleanest scans of rooms and spaces compared with other lidar apps I have tried. The photogrammetry app is based on the Apple object capture API and produces very high quality 3D models.Checkout my complete Metascan photogrammetry processing workflow using Blender here:youtu.be/I-lH2_Ca3Dw
iPhone 13 Pro Lidar vs Polycam Photo Mode - 3D Scanning Micro Singularity 2021-11-09 | In this video, I have produced a side-by-side comparison of some 3D scans produced using an iPhone 13 Pro LiDAR Scanner with Polycam's Photo Mode. In general I found Polycam's photogrammetry feature significantly out performed the models produced with the LiDAR Scanner especially smaller, more detailed objects. The LiDAR Scanner works well for rooms, buildings and larger objects but struggles with small, detailed objects. Some of the lidar scans were acquired using the Scaniverse app as well as Polycam.

iPhone 13 Pro Lidar 3D Scanning Demo - Blender Example Micro Singularity 2021-10-10 | #iPhone13 #blenderIn this video, I will be demonstrating some of my early attempts at using the iPhone 13 Pro LiDAR Scanner using the Scaniverse app which was recently bought out by Niantic. All pro features are now free!I have scanned a few objects of varying scale and textures around my house to test the performance of the iPhone 13 Lidar system. In general, I found the LiDAR Scanner to be a very convenient and somewhat accurate tool for making 3D models for Blender. However, in my experience, photogrammetry is still much more accurate, especially for smaller objects. Lidar works very well for large rooms or generating reference objects for modelling but still suffers from poor reconstruction accuracy in many cases.Check out my complete Blender photogrammetry workflow tutorial here:youtu.be/I-lH2_Ca3DwStart 00:00Start Lidar scanning 00:08Blender Renders 07:02

We will be using the Eevee render engineIn this tutorial you will learn how to add animation keyframes, use animation drivers, setup some materials, add constraints and particle simulations.Introduction 00:00Start: 00:11Add Laser Target 00:37Add Laser 02:01Change Laser Pivot Point 03:37Add Laser Constraint 05:00Add Laser Material 06:42Add Floor Material 07:25Animate Laser Strength 08:11Add Sparks 10:00Configure Particle Properties 12:36Configure Ground Collision 14:30Cut Hole in Floor 16:55Animate Floor Visibility 20:06Animate Floor FallingAdd Glow Plane 24:13Add Camera 24:52Render Animation 26:25Finished Animation 28:10
How to make Light Trails in Blender - Blender Tutorial Micro Singularity 2021-02-22 | In this Blender tutorial I will demonstrate how to simulate long exposure photography effects to make a sparkler simulation using the Eevee render engine. The long exposure light trail effect was made using the motion blur property and averaging over 50 frames. In this tutorial we will be using particle simulations, animation drivers and motion blur.This tutorial was made in Blender 2.9000:00 Introduction00:40 Start01:42 Setup Sparkler Particle Source04:38 Particle System Properties05:29 Animation Drivers11:09 Motion Blur12:47 Material Settings16:55 Final Render17:13 Setup Animation Properties18:24 Finished Animation
Blender Tutorial - How to Render Animations on Google Colab for Free! (Part 2) Micro Singularity 2021-01-14 | In part 2 of this Blender tutorial I will show you how to speed up your blender renders using a free GPU on Google Colab and OPTIX. Google Colab is an online Jupyter notebook service for running python code and google provides users with free GPUs and TPUs which can be used for rendering Blender files very quickly. In this updated and extended tutorial, I will show you in a few, very easy steps how to write the code that you will need in order to render your blender files on the cloud. Once the code is written, it is a simple process of just uploading your blend file to Google Drive and running the script. In this updated video I will show how to render both animations and still frames using OPTIX and CyclesLink to Part 1:youtu.be/lEW7efy_aiYDownload Code here:github.com/drmichaeldouglass/blenderGoogleGPU00:00 Introduction01:03 Important Points 01:37 Setting up your blender file for animations 05:12 Upload to Google Drive 05:30 Writing Code in Google Colab 10:00 Configure the GPU 10:40 Run the Code 14:46 Finished Animation 15:39 Packaging Textures in Blender File 18:24 Render a single image 21:52 Important Points about Google Colab 22:30 Close Google Colab Session

Blender Tutorial - How to Make the Earth Micro Singularity 2020-12-02 | In this beginner Blender tutorial I will show you how to make an Earth like planet in Blender 2.9. In this tutorial you will learn how to combine noise textures to make the continents of the planet, use noise textures to make the clouds and then use the layer weight node to make the atmosphere.The ground can be randomised to generate an infinite number of variations and the clouds can be animated to give the appearance of a dynamic weather system. #blender #b3d
