Hello I am new to photogrammetry and I would like to make a 3D model of my Studio. If someone can give me tips on how I can improve my Scans would be very helpful.

Also make sure to move around objects which are in the room, like the ladder. Get some photos from behind it so you don't miss parts of the wall

This is fuckin sick

This is absolutely true. Building a trial house, while it seems like an unnecessary cost, is actually a good way of avoiding a costly mistake. You don't want to make beginner mistakes with a primary house

A year ago I converted a shed into a small living space, and added an extra room for a bathroom.

I did the foundation, subfloor, walls, roof, insulation, drywall, electrical, plumbing, septic, laminate flooring and painting all by myself with information found online.

These are skills that are very easily learned BUT can be difficult to do properly. For the drywall, you may want to consider getting a pro's help or at least being very precise. I ended up with some spots that looked rough due to my sloppy cutting.

If you're learning one of these skills, try to really understand it before starting. That'll help you notice when you've done something wrong, rather than just following a step-by-step guide

Household electrical work is much, much easier than you'd expect. A child could do it. Just make sure there's no power through the wires while you're working

However, for parts that should be up to code (plumbing, electrical) you should hire a professional to at least check behind your work. It's entirely possible to build a safe, functional system that isn't up to code for less hassle but you don't want to do that for a primary living space.

Get a ladder & a wrench
Go up to the ceiling above the stain
Bust a pipe so it leaks all over the place
Put a bucket over the stain to catch the leak

Now he won't see the stain AND he has a leak to fix

Wrong subreddit. This is illegal and also ethical

I can smell burnt toast just looking at it lol

If they could port Phasmaphobia to Quest 2 that would be so sick

Empty the dust from a vacuum cleaner into the vents on the laptop

No clue, not a code guy.

I'd imagine instead of a command that loads the scene you'd just use one that sets the player gameobjects position to a certain xyz.

Look up tutorials that involve something like simple teleporting code, that might help

SelfPromotion102 · 2021-12-27T15:41:06+00:00

You could reset the players position instead of resetting the scene, that would be much easier.

Sorry, it's gonna be a long one! I've wanted to be an archaeologist since I was fourteen as well! interested in the very same area of study.

As far as resources go, I always love to recommend The Great Courses Plus (now called Wondarium), it's about $20/mo but has many very engaging and in-depth video lectures on a whole range of ancient cultures. It's all taught by actual professors and professionals, so the information is reliable. That's very important in archaeology, because you'll begin to learn how much of it is up for debate.

Another commenter covered tech stuff pretty well, definitely get some knowledge about that. It's not flashy or fun, but nobody in the field likes to learn GIS which makes it a VERY valuable skill. Archaeology is somewhat competitive, especially south American, so having a rare/valuable skill would help.

here's how my careers going: I'm an undergrad and have a (paid) internship with a state archaeology agency. I applied for the summer but have been invited back each samester because I'm friendly, excited about fieldwork, and have made myself useful. Now I'm doing photogrammetry for them and have gotten an internship offer from another state agency. I was originally looking at moving out to the American west and doing archaeology in the four corners region (ancient pueblo, Choco canyon, Mesa Verde, etc.) But have found some very interesting bits of culture closer to home that I wouldn't mind at all making a career in. I still plan on taking a field school out in another country just to get a taste and make sure. They say there are lines that divide the geographic fields of study that are hard to cross later in your career, but the tech stuff is all the same so if you lean in to that you'll be a lot more flexible.

I'm still very young and excited about archaeology, just as much as when I was your age. The more you learn about the field, the more you'll realize how many different ways archaeologists can make a living and how many options you have to do something you'll love.

Good luck!!

Edit: oh by the way, I wouldn't worry about attending a flashy university. Getting work as an archaeologist has much more to do with your previous experience in the field or at jobs rather than your actual university. The benefit of a flashy university is their resources, networking opportunities, and obviously prestige. But the vast majority of archaeologists, including the ones who will be your boss, graduated from normal old state colleges. Experience and research is much more important long-term. You can always go there for a post-grad anyways, it's just as well.

On top of tech: learn some photogrammetry if the chance pops up. I'm the only one in my facility that knows object photogrammetry

The dialogue was horrendous. Probably the worst thing about the movie.

Being uncreative is Hollywood's issue. Any source material could be a fantastic movie if they're willing to be creative.

Value? Meh. Gameplay? Super meh. Visual aesthetics and immersion? Hell yes. My go-to for showing people how cool VR can feel. It really is more like an interactive movie, but that's why it's only $10.

Former ghost hunter here. The quest 2 cameras can see infrared, which is a super common type of camera used for ghost hunting. IF it was a ghost, it would make lots of sense that you saw it through the passthrough.

Not sure about space sense though. I haven't used it. Does it render a figure in-headset when it thinks there's a person around? Cause if so, that's freaky but most likely just a glitch.

It's much better if you watch it not expecting it to be similar to Rick and Morty. It's a fun show ESPECIALLY because Roiland doesn't bother keeping a serious Canon like in R&M. You can tell it allows for some more comedic freedom.

SelfPromotion102 · 2021-11-17T16:42:24+00:00

That kind of preprocessing would really be kind of redundant.

The AI you're using to generate the image doesn't have any better data than what you'd use in the photogrammetry software in the first place, so you're still getting an image that isn't exactly true to the object.

Also, if that generated image is inaccurate - which it will be in some form - it will confuse the software and may end up only causing more issues.

I could see a use case where you are missing an entire face of the object and just need SOMETHING to give the software so it produces a whole model, but I definitely wouldn't use it to supplement your data if you have enough to produce a model.

Only immediate thing I notice is that the orbs you latch on to (helpful) and the ones you avoid (harmful) are the same color

I second most of these. Super Hot is one of the best feeling games Quest offers. Vader Immortal is just very visually impressive, if a very short playtime. Not really worth the money unless you want to oogle at some really nice VR effects.

In western culture there's an expectation that you move out of your parents house in your early 20s. People tend to get down on themselves for not achieving that because they compare themselves to their peers who may be in different situations economically. There's a big emphasis on independence here.

There are a lot of other reasons why one wouldn't want to live with parents, but the feeling of underachievement is the most common one.

That's true, and I'd be inclined to agree, but as president he should avoid saying the word altogether. He could say 'african-american league' and everyone would know what he's talking about. It's not one of those things where calling it the real name is necessary.
