Macropod PRO 3D 1.2.1 Setting up for 3D Modeling

Video tutorial describing proper set-up and configuration for 3D modeling specimens.

Macropod PRO 3D 1.2.2 Capturing Imagery to Build 3D Models

This tutorial is about postitioning your sample and capturing the data necessary for producing 3D models using photogrammetry techniques.

Macropod PRO 3D 1.2.3 Separating & Batch Focus Stacking

This video is about separating files from 1 folder into many distinctive folder using terminal, which is fast and easy. This video is also about batch processing imagery using Zerene Stacker software.

MAC OS X USERS;

STEP 1: Go to “System Preferences” and select Keyboard, Shortcuts, Services.

STEP 2: Find “New Terminal at Folder” in the settings and click the box. Now, when you’re in Finder, just right-click a folder and you’re shown the “Open to Terminal” option.

STEP 3: CHANGE “X” TO THE NUMBER YOU WISH TO SEPARATE FILES BY IN THE FOLLOWING CODE:

i=0; for f in *; do d=dir_$(printf %03d $((i/X+1))); mkdir -p $d; mv $f $d; let i++; done

FOR EXAMPLE: If you have 100 files in 1 folder and wish to create 10 folders with 10 files each then you would ENTER:

i=0; for f in *; do d=dir_$(printf %03d $((i/10+1))); mkdir -p $d; mv $f $d; let i++; done

MODIFY AND USE CODE (CHANGE X):

i=0; for f in *; do d=dir_$(printf %03d $((i/X+1))); mkdir -p $d; mv $f $d; let i++; done

******Caution******* Command will become active the moment you paste into terminal. Please ensure your interval and selected directory is correct.

MAKE A MISTAKE?

STEP 1: Open the folder containing the subfolders.

STEP 2: Type .jpg into the Search Bar

STEP 3: Drag and drop all images back to the original folder and try again.

Macropod PRO 3D 1.2.4 Generating a 3D Model

This is a basic and introductory video about 3D modeling imagery (specifically focus stacked imagery) using Agisoft Photo Scan. It shows the primary workflow needed to generate a model. Further videos will come out teaching you how to perfect the 3D model.
