Photogrammetry is the science of making measurements from photographs. It infers the geometry of a scene from a set of unordered photographies or videos. Photography is the projection of a 3D scene onto a 2D plane, losing depth information. The goal of photogrammetry is to reverse this process. The dense modeling of the scene is the result yielded by chaining two computer vision-based pipelines, “Structure-from-Motion” (SfM) and “Multi View Stereo” (MVS). Fusion of Multi-bracketing LDR...
A powerful editor for video games based on or similar to id Software's series of Quake games. Currently QuArK supports 41 distinct games, 5 generic game engines, and a countless number of expansions packs, addons, and mods. It integrates a map editor, model editor, archive editors, texture management, and much more.
A Strong and Easy-to-use Single View 3D Hand+Body Pose Estimator
...Outputs include textured meshes, joint locations, and model parameters that can be exported to common DCC tools and game engines. The codebase offers pretrained models, clear inference scripts, and utilities to visualize results, making single-camera motion capture approachable on commodity hardware. Researchers and creators use it for motion studies, AR/VR prototyping, character animation, and human-in-the-loop editing.
This software can be used for relief and normal maps calculation by 3D sculptors and designers. Reliefer can be called from Blender by means of Python script. It's a GPU-based visual computing application so requres OpenGL 2 compitable video subsystem.
Blender3D for the Zaurus!
Blender is the open source software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback.
Available for Windows, Linux, Irix, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and soon for the Sharp Zaurus.
The Anvil is setting out to produce one strong platform for all media. Fluid work with major audio, video, raster/vector images, 3D formats and scripting languages will allow us to start from anywhere and temper out the masterpeice we needed.
