I think you’ve perfectly nailed the format of your tutorials. A few too many are going for the quick slightly vague tutorials to jump on the Ian style. But yours give that extra bit of detail while not being too long. Nothing worse that skipping through a tut. Also, miss you on corridor so keep pumping these out :)

I think Ian's intention is not to make beginner tutorials, but to make videos showing off ideas & techniques people might not normally think of using tools they already know how to use. If you have learned Blender already to a point where you're familiar with most of the common tools and concepts, you should be able to follow his tutorials. You might have to watch it a few times, or pause, or even look up how to do something he mentions, but I don't see that as a problem for quick videos like that are just intended to get across one specific idea/technique that might not really deserve it's own full tutorial.

How do you fill a polycam model??? I'm trying to fill a model, as it is empty inside, so that I can make a rig for it... but no tutorial shows how to!! Someone please help. I'm commenting on this so there's a higher chance imma get my answer

If you want more clear result, you can use multiresolution and wrap modifiers.
Subdivide low poly model with multiresolution, after that apply wrap modifier with high poly model in it selected, now bake texture, after it you can bake normals from multiresolution, don't forget to set 0 on preview in multiresolution modifier before baking.

If you have light blue lines on the edges of your mesh and cannot set your imported object to "shade smooth":
This means those edges have been marked as "Sharp".
For clearing sharp edges select the mesh in edit mode and press "CMD/CTRL + E" and click on "Clear Sharp".

I followed every step, even converted feet to meters, but I got holes in my finals textures, like transparent holes, do you have any suggestion? I think it's a great tutorial and I don't know what I did wrong, because I followed the same steps.

EDIT: RESOLVED
the problem was that I put the value for "Ray Distance" in "Max Ray Distance". In Blender 3.0 and beyond the same values don't go there, they go in the "Extrusion" tab, right above.

@SeyhanK17

If your end result is black or really glitchy, try out the cage. Basically you just make a duplicate of the low poly model, scale it along normals and then select the object with the picker tool.

Well that was time well spent, I have looked at Dynaesh and Zbrush, but this software has them beat in easier usability for sure! Not sure about bigger models since I just whipped up a simple couch and followed your tutorial but looking forward to challenging the software with something a little bigger.

You could also use a multi-resolution and shrinkwrap if you wanted all the detail on the couch. Except the render time will be longer

I still feel that this workflow is the most accessible way for 3D artists and everyone else to get into photogrammetry. Using Meshroom to create the model, Instant Mesh to clean it up, and Blender to bake to bake the high poly normals. But now that Unreal Engine 5 has Nanite, we might not need to worry about poly counts anymore.

@baldwin180

Still needs clean up of noisy flat surfaces though

@Nicomedia1

I will try UE5 :) Blender is lagging hard 3-4 million triangles after. Sometimes i can't even see lightning, texture, etc. I know my pc isn't good (Gtx1650 and r5 3600x) but we are talking about 3-4 million triangles and 2k textures :( That's why unreal makes me wonder.

Great! I just had a problem baking. Basically the bake wouldn't look good because there were black spots. I saw the high poly and low poly models had to be in exactly the same spot which I couldn't do either. I wonder if there is a way to bake with no overlapping models.

@pauljs75

Could be taken a step further with normal and/or displacement map baked onto the low-poly using the high-poly object as a reference.

@CGPacifica

Wow thanks for the tip - never knew that was there! That said, it doesn't allow you to influence the edge flow like this program does, which makes it nice but also kinda useless for a lot of cases. Still cool tho.

@IndieMarkus

@@CGPacifica you're right - it's not great for retexturing later on or animation, but if you simply want to reduce the number of point, it's a start. I believe blender guru (who is more knowledgeable than me) also made a video about retopo and edge flow and stuff like that.

When i looked up Instant Meshes, it sent me on an exploration of scientific research into remeshing, and that the latest and greatest in this particular lineage of remeshing tools research is Quadriflow.

And that is even integrated in Blender directly! Starting with 2.81 release. But not quite where you might expect it. You might expect it in sculpting tool, but it's not there - the remesher integrated there only does voxel remesh. You might expect it as a mode in decimate modifier, but it's not there. Instead you must go into Object Data Properties of the mesh and it's hiding THERE. The integration also leaves a lot to be desired. Quadriflow fundamentally supports preservation line inputs, and in Blender, if you have a crease edge, it will pass through as one, but you can't just draw in Grease Pencil or provide an extra object to generate such edges. I'd like to see a comparison between Instant Meshes and Quadriflow on this sofa of yours.

@arianullah6257

There’s also Autoremesher being develoed by Jeremy HU, free and open source based on the MIQ and LibQEx parameterization algorithms.

@SianaGearz

@Skepz Nah, it doesn't need more advertisement, it's basically the first thing google and everyone throws at you. It might just about be the best thing out there but it's commercial software and fairly expensive too.
