Person-In-Time | Points & Paths

 

My goal was to explore movement paths and “light painting” through LiDAR points and photogrammetry.

Polycam only allows you to capture using either LiDAR (which creates a triangulated mesh ) or photos (that creates the mesh for you and not ply. points)

I’m exploiting the points detection capture option inside of the home scanner app, because as long as I keep a fixed distance with the lens, then it assumes that my hand is also a static object within the space. That’s what’s creating the trails, but the effect doesn’t work using the other capture options in both Polycam as well as Homescanner App.

I then asked my friends and dog friends to walk for 2 minutes and avoid walking in straight lines as much a possible. Here’s what was captured in that process:

What 3D Can 3D Scanner App Export to?

Software – Compatible Formats

This following list is export formats that are compatible with the most common 3D Software.

The home scanner app gives you all of these different export options, all of which I tried to import into C4D and failed.
