week 9 123AUTOCATCH

so while investigating photogrammetry we were encouraged to try and create 3d models using the autocatch software, the issue is that it does not work well with shiny surfaces

a very useful tool for quick model creation based on actual texture/reference which is also given to you in a nice little texture sheet like this - not the greatest but if more photos are taken the quality of the texture sheet can be improved

. the problem unfortunately is that it isnt very optimised, which means tri/poly counts sky rocket wile using this service

this can be optimised a little better using the ZBrush's decimator master, easily reducing the polycount by around 90% with only a little loss of quality of the mesh.
