Photogrammetry Web Service

Any time you’re asked to launch the first application from an R&D lab, you need to jump on that. This is what I was asked to do with the Photogrammetry web service and I loved every minute of it. My education background lies in 3D graphics and animation and this application processed photographs of objects and turned those photographs into beautiful 3D renders. It really had two core areas of focus, one of which was to support pre-visualization efforts for movie studios and the other was to support artists by giving them a head start with modeling efforts. The mantra repeated on the team was “photos in, model out” and it proved to be the simple tag line that we all rallied behind. This application needed to be easy to use yet also provide advanced features for VFX personnel that were highly skilled with photogrammetry. In the end it was a resounding success and used in a variety of functions within the company.
