Using the rotating stand setup
The rotating stand method is the best and the simplest way to
create models using IBModeler. You will find a lot of fabulous models
created using this method made available for reference at the
ajubaa website's ibmodeler samples section.
We will be discussing this method in detail, but in a nut shell it consists of the following steps:
-
Keep the target model on top of a rotating
circular disc in front of a digital camera
-
Mark some points on the side edges of the
disc
-
Cover the background of the model with a green, blue or red screen
-
Obtain photographs of the model at different angles of rotation of the disc
-
Open IBModeler and supply some necessary inputs
- Sit back and relax while IBModeler processes each of the photographs and
creates and displays a beautiful 3D replica of it (see illustration below).
