Guerilla Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is one of the best ways to enhance realism in your scenes. 

But, you don't always have ideal conditions for photoscanning. While taking a walk, or in a museum, you come across something that you wish you could use in your 3D scenes, but there are real life limitations like:
- Inadequate access
- Inadequate equipment
- Time limit (you cannot take 600 photos from all angles in a busy museum)

Guerilla Photogrammetry by-passes it all with a run-and-gun quickshot photogrammetry technique.

This is the process that I use to make my own scans like this:
