Once the problem with the arms was fixed and E.T. looked cute again, we noticed that his hands and feet were still not quite perfect. His hands at this point look like fish fins because the space between his fingers is filled. We tried to fix this by cutting it out of the point cloud, but unfortunately, this did not work well enough to make his hands look nice. However, the result is, as you can see in this model, slightly better.
After working on E.T. for multiple weeks, we finally got to a point where we could use E.T. as a model. To reach this point we used the redone pictures, and deleted points to get rid of static and the green chunks. We manually added in reference points for Metashape to better align the pictures into one model, manually added in the bottom of the feet from a different chunk, and finally we reached a point where we could call E.T. a proper 3D model.
The process of the model has been a very long and tiring road, but that is why we are all the prouder to now show E.T. as a 3D model.
