Hi,
I am experimenting with Zephyr for a few weeks now to learn the skills to do a bigger project soon. My current task is to create a 3d model from a small, complex object that has a black, glossy surface - an old, analog SLR-camera.
After watching all the tutorials I realize there are multiple ways to do it, but I don't know which one is the best, and I am not sure about some details.
My first step would be to spraypaint the surface white, by using an AESUB spray or something similar. Then I see two very different paths:
1. Attach the object on a tripod in the middle of a room and making photos from all directions.
2. Using a turntable with a dark background (and using masks).
Now some specific questions about both paths:
Path 1:
Because the object is so small and the room relatively large there will be a lot of blur in the background, even if I dial in aperture f/22. Will this lead to errors when creating the model, or will the blurred background be ignored? (assuming I would not use masks.)
Path 2:
I expect turntable-mode will not work with a uniformely white-painted object, because the lighting/shadows on the object will be different on each photo when rotating the turntable (?). Will it be necessary to create a texture on top of the white coating, and how could that possibly be accomplished?
Or might there be a completely different way of doing it, that I did not think of? What is the best way of photographing a black camera for photogrammetry to get the most detail?
