I am attempting to capture a star shaped cutting board and getting nowhere. I first laid the cutting board flat and rotated it, capturing from a variety of heights, which yielded poor results. I then propped the cutting board on its edge and rotated it (image below), which also yielded poor results.
Any suggestions on how best to capture an object like this? Although it is highly symmetrical, it has enough differentiation that I would expect it to work, specially with a hanger taped to the back.
I guess the difficulties you’re experiencing result from the relatively small edge of the board. And if what you show us is a 1:1 source image, then there are almost no recognizable features on those edges since. I think it is due to heavy smoothing. Also, do you rotate the object or move around it with the camera? If the first, then I am pretty certain that you have too many competing features on the background. Only masking will help you there.
Thanks for the suggestions. I have experimented with both suggestions and tried many permutations of - green screen & masking, adding numerous full featured objects, walking around the objects, rotating objects on a platter, etc… Unfortunately, nothing seems to work.
Would be great if someone has an example that was successfully captured that I can learn from.
