[Max] I need help! / Scanning or photographing long planks
« on: 2019-04-29, 05:13:47 »
Hi all,
We have a project that requires the representation of some specific wood planks for use with floorgenerator script and Corona. The manufacturer sent us ~50 SF of samples consisting of 6’ long planks. We tried photographing with a dSLR in ‘one shot’ with a wide angle lens but didn’t get enough resolution. We tried multiple shots but that creates a tricky merge situation with exposure and grain being tricky to match precisely.
I was curious if anyone had any thoughts? It’s almost like an iPhone app would do the job...we don’t need a ton of data since they won’t be close to the camera and the grain is not raised so I don’t think something like Dabarti capture is necessary either. Just looking for a smart way to get reasonable resolution and continuity without resorting to a specialty scanner.
Apologies in advance if this doesn’t fit in ‘General.’
Thanks!
Daniel
