Consulting is a route to take, I used to go the open source route but the market is becoming more competitive now. Other studios are copying the method, so a price has to be put on it to stay a head in business and continue to grow and fund the newer research.

Can I guess? Same system is 10x more expensive but you need a half number of cameras = 5 times more bucks for better reliability and mobility…. Andreas from Vienna sounds quite desperate – may be he can throw in some good consulting money or organize a fund raising event :- )….entschuldigen Sie mich Andreas…Seriously, do you personally consult the set-up at all or you r spreading your craftsmanship opensourcely?

many thanks. I’m experimenting with D800′s at the moment (36MP) very difficult to use multi-tethered an at full frame. I would love to build an MV or CCD system but raising the finance is tricky. Trivial to build, tricky to get the $!

unbelievable….and with 280 cables knitting around – hats off, Lee. Did you consider some MVs with PoE? And with a new Kodak 29MP chip you could make some room in the studio perhaps…to me you are the Leeder of 3D body scanning.

Hi Anshuman, Thanks for your post and kind comments. At the moment I use 550D and 600D with a combination of D800′s. White walls = Bounced Light, then no unnecessary green spill. Standard 50mm prime lens, cheap ones. No filter, no need, as it just introduces another level of glass to impact on focus, blur and stop down in light level. In Photoscan you can Mask by difference.

Hi Lee, Amazing stuff. Well I have used Agisoft Photoscan for GIS Imaging and it works great, but never for Human work. As I am into architectural visualisation it does not hold much of an importance for me, But i am very Curious to know the specs of your SLR. What IR lens or Ir Filter do you use? Also Why is your studio white and not Green? Does that have anything to do with Photoscan? Please let me know. Your work is simply Great,

Hi Lee,

I have asked for a quote for the Mephisto scanner, thats about 85000€… a little bit above my budget:-))), I really need a proper human body scanning system, for a project that will start next year… so for good consulting money, would you be able to show me your system and advise on camera position, synchronization, postprocessing… I have started some trials with one Canon and the Agisoft software, its quite encouring but far away from our requirements, please contact me I really need help !!! THX a lot, regards Andreas from Vienna

It’s 90 now actually. Good for you “Wayne” @ anonymous “yahoo.com”. Make sure you don’t tell anyone about it! and patent it so you can sue them, just like Apple and Samsung do to each other. Much better for business, the global economy and lawyers. But seriously. Walk the walk. As they say ~~“pictures… or it didn’t happen!”~~ sorry meant to say “BIG pictures, or it didn’t happen!”
