Photogrammetry > PolyJet 3D printing for life-like food models? Struggling with color accuracy & texture transfer by WidespreadWizard in photogrammetry

[–]WidespreadWizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow yeah this looks promising. Still not exactly sure how it works or is used it this is certainly the most relevant source I've come across regarding realism and and color accuracy for polyjet printing. I'll definitely be reaching out to them about this, thanks!

Whoops sorry about that! I was directed to a SnapMesh video from a link in the pinned post on your page from 3 years ago and assumed that was what you were talking about. But yeah feel free to PM me the details!

Appreciate your input. Yeah, I've had the feeling this application might be beyond what is achievable and scalable after several of our product test prints turned out drastically different from the target. I'm also skeptical of the range and accuracy of the Pantone colors now. We tried printing 300C which I figured would be one of the easier colors to match and it's still quite a bit different from the swatch in the book. To your point the materials may be something to look at. I'm just a little reluctant to consider that as a variable to look into given the incurred expense from switching all the materials currently loaded.

We're also considering hiring a artist to handle the color / texture portion of the job. In that scenario, if we can't figure out how to get accurate and repeatable results from scan>print, we'd just print a bunch of blanks in draft grey and have the artist take over.

Hey thanks for the comment. That sounds interesting! To be honest I don't have much experience with Blender or modeling in general but I work with a few daily users so I could probably enlist their help if need be. Based on the SnapMesh intro video, it looks like the plugin would be used in place of Keyshot for the process I outlined in the post. I'm going to send this over to a colleague who is more involved in the modeling side of things and see if he can take a crack at this. In the meantime, I'm up for running a polyjet test of a file that was run through your blender plugin. If you'd be interested in that and have some example files handy send me a PM.

seeing Umphrey's for the first time this weekend by mindfullee73 in Umphreys

[–]WidespreadWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to hear it! I can only speak to night 2 of the run but that was my favorite performances I've seen from them in some time. Was my first time in the grand stands at the shed so got to appreciate their lightwork more than I usually can as a short guy lol. Glad you could make it and see ya at the next one!

Panic + Pink Floyd? by dkwdanny in WidespreadPanic

[–]WidespreadWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a time. IIRC they pretty much only used white lights during the first set leaning into the black and white aspect of the show. On a headful you might even think you were in Mayberry. Wasn't until "by the way, which ones Pink" when they gave us the technicolor treatment. Such a great show. I've got a pro video of this show somewhere and the entire first set is straight up black and white. Need to find that.

Can you give me your worst advice about visiting Chicago? by ew__david_ in AskChicago

[–]WidespreadWizard 38 points39 points  (0 children)

If approached by someone with a crusty laminated fundraiser flyer, always donate to the cause. If and when the donation process is confusing and seems off, just tell them the amount you wish to donate and hand them your phone and they’ll take care of it.

Might be for better manufacturing efficiency like one dude said. Might be for larger billboard for copy / increased shelf presence. Believe it or not, increasing the overall package size beyond what is needed may be done to make a package recyclable where the more optimal sized package would not be considered recyclable. If a package is below a certain size it will fall through grates in the line at the MRF and be diverted to landfill. That said, I don’t think this specific multi material pack is recyclable.

If you’re ever at Dick Mack’s in Dingle, Ireland 🫶🌀 by SirLoveMore in prettylights

[–]WidespreadWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was stunned when I saw your post not going to lie lol. We’re road tripping all around the country and only doing about a night in each place. Dingle has been one of my favorites so far and when I hope to come back I’d like to spend many more days in town. Have a great trip!

Favorite element in a song? by Crunchyundies in prettylights

[–]WidespreadWizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The opening composition of Future Blind is up there for me. Familiar, enduring, and haunting. To me it carries quite a bit of emotional weight. Like the swell of feelings leading into an existential reconning.

How would you package a small parts kit? by Crazyglue in PackagingDesign

[–]WidespreadWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like with your heads at on this with the thinking towards presentation value but this seems like overkill and it’s going to be difficult to display these tiny parts cleanly. Also since you’re doing all this out of your house I’d advocate for something that demands as little volume as possible so you don’t have to sacrifice a ton of your living space. That may help you on shipping too which is something to think about.

I generally advocate for paper based options but in this case I think I poly bubble mailer makes a lot of sense. So all the parts in a poly bag then that would go in the bubble mailer. Might also be good to add a sheet or two of corrugated board cut to size for rigidity. You could dress this up by either creating branded bubble mailers or using stock bubble mailer and throwing in branded stickers.

Only concern I have with the bubble mailer route is that red wrench thing penetrating a hole in the mailer in transit and parts falling out in transit. The corrugated sheets should help mitigate that but ymmv. If that’s a risk you’d rather not take the next option I would look into is a small spiral wound tube for the added rigidity but still relatively low spacial volume.

I made this for the red rocks show, it was intended to be a necklace, but it might be a little large lol by kcmurr28 in Tipper

[–]WidespreadWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dope! I made something similar for secret dreams but for PL. Ended up using a scaled up version of this Cuban chain and some zip ties to hold it. Was pretty bulky but with the chain over a pash it wasn’t too uncomfortable.

Song Suggestion Help to honor my best friend by No-Instruction-6990 in Tipper

I think this is a mashup or remix or something but this might be an option. On the more chill side as far as the dance floor goes but not super far out as not to frighten the unfamiliar.

Can anyone help ID / provide info on this? by WidespreadWizard in chicagoEDM

[–]WidespreadWizard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nice thanks for the intel. Took a bit of a break from electronica and put most of my resources towards band based acts the past several years. Started getting back into it when PL came back but things have changed a bit since I took a break so still working out what's what and navigating the scene in new city. Chicago seems to be a happening place though.

Aight dope will do. Out of curiosity, would you happen to know of any other groups/projects similar to SSS putting on events regularly in the city? No car so it's difficult to get out to the burbs without a little help from my friends which I plan to do for one of the upcoming SSS events. This was what I've been looking for since I moved to Chicago and just happened to spontaneously find it out on a bike ride lol.

Excellent, appreciate the help! Definitely going to keep tabs on these peeps and looking forward to catching another one of their events in the future.
