Scanning the Fanal Forest tutorial series

Hello everyone.

I’m starting a tutorial series over at my YouTube channel. I have scanned the mythical trees of the Fanal Forest on Madeira and I will bring them into Unreal Engine and finally for sale at the FAB store. If you are interested to see how I go about it check out the introduction video below. It’s a work in progress and I have a lot to do.

Hi @Robbit That location looks absolutely magical, definitely worth all the effort you are putting into these. I really appreciate you sharing your workflow! Do you have any tips for capturing high-quality 3D scans of real world objects?

Thanks, plenty of tips over at my youtube channel. Best tip when choosing a camera is to get one with IBIS. Makes it a lot faster and better to capture the object.

Hello @Robbit !

This is so amazing. I’ve always wanted to visit that forest myself and hope it was breathtaking!

Also, will getting a camera with IBIS help make the object clearer when among fog like that?

Nothing you can do about the fog you just have to wait it out. Often it changes pretty fast, but it’s a hard shoot. You can recover quite a lot in Lightroom with the dehaze slider.
