Photogrammetry and Prop Making

General / 30 May 2020

I recently began to dabble in photogrammetry, the process of taking multiple photos of an object from various angles and converting it into a 3D model. My first project was the Borderlands 3 Psycho mask, which has been left sitting on a sandy rock form.

How could I combine my love of prop making and environment design? Perhaps with photogrammetry! Over the weekend I started using Meshroom, a program that uses photos to create a 3D model (photogrammetry). This is a copy of the Borderlands 3 Psycho Mask I made for the Prop Tarts Secret Santa. I cleaned up the scan and made the environment in Blender and added some physics for fun. I think this is a fun way to combine my two biggest passions and I can’t wait to do more.

The model of the mask was compiled in Meshroom, while the environment was built in Blender. I added in some rock physics just to give the scene a bit of life.

I'm quite excited to combine my love of prop making and environment design, and I can't wait to do more of this!
