Chris,

Photogrammetry IS an option. Especially if you have at least a dozen shots going around the car.

There are web services that will provide you with a model for a few bucks.

Hi all,

I’m doing some work on a short film with very limited resources, and so am trying to work out how to do some FX with effectively 0 budget.

There’s one shot where the director would like to add a car driving past on a road.  There’s a basic background plate but no option to shoot the car for real, the car would have to be a 3D model of the specific car used earlier in the shoot, but which is no longer available.

The specific car was extensively photographed so I’m wondering if it would be feasible to get a simple 3D model made that would be good enough for a 60 frame panning shot.  There are lots of high-res photos from all angles, I think the guy who took them intended to build a model via photogrammetry.

I’ve never done it.  I’m not a 3D artist.  Just wondering if anyone who has tried building a 3D model from photos can share some advice so I know if it’s even an option.  I see it as a possible learning exercise, even to potentially animate the car in the lite C4D that comes with AE.

Thanks in advance!


-Chris
