I am working on my office and trying to take the exterior to a 3D model. I have been in the Calibration mode for about 2 hours placing TONS of Locators all over the place. I am using 9 images. And after 60 Locators, I have half that are green and the other half grey. I have 4 that are yellow. As I keep going, I can zoom out of the picture view and see that the image has curves on the outside. That makes sense. However, a Few times, the image would look like a ball. The Sides of the image would curve inword. All the images were not taken with “AUTO” on my 5MP camera. Just a Fast Shot Mode. No zooming on the photos either.

I want to make sure I am doing this right.
Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Sorry. I don’t have an answer for you regarding your post. It sounds like you were doing better than me though : ) I am in the same bind except I am getting at best 4 or 5 green markers. Everything else is solid red. I have residuals of about 160 pixels. How do you get a decent calibration ? I’ve been pulling my hair out for days.
I’ve been trying to place a few markers everywhere then go in with the calibration constraints, building up slowly. Nothing works. I never get a calibration prompt and when I hit the calibrate button everything flies apart and all my photos turn into spheres…
I am using 12 MP photos from a point and shoot Sony, but I was having a lot of issues with trees and such so I am also working from Stitcher panoramas exported to cubic QTVR as well as the photos. I tried with and without the stitched shots and neither works.
If you’ve learned anything from your experience which might be usefull I’d be much obliged if you’d share it : )

All the best,

JF

I think I found it. My bad secrete is start within the object and work you way out.
Seems to be working now…
