During the process of building a 3D model in Metashape, we met several problems, such as big holes, blurry edges and multiple arms of Pikachu. To fix these issues, we tried three effective physical solutions.
The initial and most straightforward approach is to photograph our toy from new angles to better capture its details. Our team shot the toy three times and obtained around 200 photographs each time. If the toy cannot be moved, capturing photos from an upside-down position can be beneficial for documenting the details on the bottom.
The second solution is to apply baby powder and matte spray to the figurine to add texture, reducing its reflectiveness and shininess. During our final photo session, we first used matte spray and then added some baby powder, paying special attention to detailed areas like the edges of the tail, ears and arms.
The third way is to utilize small(3mm), colourful and sticky dots to enhance the accuracy of alignment. During the third time shooting, we put those dots on Pikachu’s head and tail to help the software align photos. The strategy greatly improved the final model.
