One half of a very chewed on pelvic bone (my dog was enjoying it before I decided to scan it):

That’s good.
I would buy it and also buy a human bones ( skeleton ) pack if it’s avaiable.
Go to cementery, dig one guy and you are ready to go with photoscanning 
Thanks wielkiczarnyafgan (I feel like I just ran a marathon typing out your name)! Initially the pack will probably just be cow bones. I might be able to get my hands on a few other types of skulls as well (deer, boar, etc). As for the human bones, I plan on ordering some models off of Amazon if the pack is accepted (but it would most likely be an assortment of bones, not a complete skeleton). They’d go into the pack as an update. I’d buy and scan them before submission, but that would really suck to spend a lot of money on bones and then possibly get rejected 
I plan on offering the pack at $15 if accepted.
Don’t have a sketchfab for this new one yet, since I’m still working on it in Photoscan, but I figured I’d show a pic since it’s looking wicked:
It’s a very deteriorated nilgai antelope skull. Would look great on a necromancer’s bookshelf

The next skull I’m working on (screenshot from Photoscan):
It’ll be a week or so before I have this one on sketchfab. The images take forever to mask out, due to the antlers. What’s shown here is from just 8 images, and they only cover about a 120 degree rotation around the skull. Still, the antlers are looking pretty cool.
Well, after a ****-ton of work on the deer skull, I finally have it to a point where I can show it off in Sketchfab!

Deer Skull by necrophob30 on Sketchfab
The low-poly in the model (low in relative terms, it’s still 20k in this example) still needs a ton of clean-up. This is really just to show the detail in the texture.
The next skull I’m working on:
The pack will initially contain 5 skulls (2 x cow, 1 deer, 1 nilgai, and this ram skull). It will also have a few cow bones. Eventually, I’d like to scan all the rest I have (an assortment of cow bones, and a couple more ram skulls for variety). I also intend to order some human bone reproductions if the pack makes it to the Marketplace. They’ll be included in a later update.
looks great to me.
please bring it to the marketplace with human bones in it, and i will buy it, if its not to pricy
I think you’re onto a winner here. You could be the one stop shop for all our Unreal skeletal model needs. A human skeleton model pack would be very popular I’m sure. I would even say complete animal skeleton packs would be successful. If you’re worried about being rejected by Epic, get in touch and let them know what you’re thinking and how best you can prepare (your equipment says a lot about your passion already!).
Thanks stucki and Naveed! Unfortunately, I don’t have access to an entire skeleton (animal or otherwise), and I’d have to scan most bones individually. While I could then combine the individual meshes into a single model, the textures would be a problem. That’s one of the best things about photogrammetry is the awesome textures it results in. Also, I think the process would drive me insane! Processing the masks on 70+ pics per mesh is a major pain in the butt! I tried to make it easier by using a green backdrop, but the backdrop tended to reflect green back on the pale bones.
Been awhile since I posted progress. Here’s a second cow skull model, in UE4:
I’ve got diffuse, normal, and ao textures, but need to work on roughness. This mesh is a little high on triangles, at around 14k, but I intend to do LODs.
In game next to some other assets (not part of the pack) to see how it would look in a scene:
Same scene with the ram and nilgai skulls added. Still need to do the original cow skull (the first pic in the thread) and the deer skull. Not looking forward to unwrapping the deer…ugh. Initial pack is going to be two cow skulls, deer skull, nilgai skull, and the ram skull. I’ll also be including the miscellaneous cow bones already shown in the thread. Then the plan is to add other bones in updates. After much thinking, I’m planning on setting the price at $20 (not that much higher than my initial plan for $15).
keep it on, i will buy it
Thanks stucki!
Added in the original cow skull. Just got to do the deer skull and the miscellaneous cow bones.
Still a week or so away from being ready to submit, but this’ll be the last picture until then. Added the deer skull in:
Awesome news: Necro’s Bone Box has been accepted to the Marketplace! Scheduling is still unknown, but hopefully I’ll have an answer in a week or so. Below are screen shots of what is initially included in the pack:
There will be two cow skulls, one nilgai antelope skull, one deer skull, and one ram skull. Also included are a cow leg bone and a partial cow pelvic bone. I’m going to start working on scanning some more miscellaneous bones I have access to, for either inclusion into the initial release or as an update later, depending on the schedule.
congrats.
ynt wait to catch them there !
Thanks stucki! I’m going to start looking online for a human skull model to scan. I also have a couple more ram skulls that are slightly different than the one already in the pack.
