We will create a one-of-a-kind gift from scratch and take through each step of the process together:
Create the hand-made gift (In the course example, we’ll use plasticine, a kind of clay.)
Use a camera to take enough photos of the gift to use in Meshroom
Use Meshroom (a free software) to create a 3D object from our photos
Clean up our 3D object in Blender (a free software) for 3D printing
Upload our 3D model to Shapeways for printing
We will also learn the steps to make sure your object is at the correct scale if you want to print a 1:1 version of it.
To take this course you’ll need:
A computer with Windows or Linux
To use Meshroom you need an NVIDIA video card
