3D scanning for free!

3D scanning does not have to require expensive equipment and software. Using photogrammetry techniques you can do quite a bit of scanning for free with just a camera and some free, and (partly) open-source software. For lighting, a cloudy day is good or for small objects fluorescent lighting also casts very little shadow. You can also try doing it inside a shadow.

--Note: No need to install Visual SFM or CMVS, just extract Visual SFM, then extract CMVS into the same folder.
--The download link for CMVS is on this page, lower right called "Download Zip". https://github.com/pmoulon/CMVS-PMVS In the zip file open "BinariesWIn-Linux / Win64-VS2010" Then copy all the files in there and paste them in the same folder as Visual SFM Of course if you're using WIn32 you'll do that one instead.
--If you press tab and nothing happens all I can say is make sure CMVS is installed as described and check the log window for errors. I don't know any more than that.

---------I've put a lot of work into this tutorial as well as the comments and description text. If you like it please consider leaving a tip on my channel page with the "Support this channel button on the right". Thank you.

This is the original tutorial I followed which has a ton of information, but I wanted my videos to get right to the point.
