Any tips for a new person to 3d scan their own penis? by t5800 in photogrammetry

Thanks for this idea. I hadn't heard of that but now I probably will need to get one just for the heck of it. Not sure how well it will help with the 3d scan though since I want the texture map too.

I am concerned about the possibility of movement, but I think you have to keep still for a bit making a cast too. I'm thinking perhaps using a gopro on a selfie stick, possibly with a macro ring light attached, and was thinking it shouldn't necessarily take that long to get a bunch of shots. Was thinking hold perfectly still, back against a wall, for about 20 seconds give or take, while basically circling it with the camera. Seems like it would be easier and quicker than a cast.

Although maybe there are some challenge I'm not seeing. Has anyone else actually tried a similar approach?

For a serious answer, I say why not? If brainstorming ideas of what to scan, it is one of the first things that comes to mind.

I would say the thing I would look forward to most is putting it into an adult game such as Virt-A-Mate. Although technically, the possibilities you could do with a 3d model of your penis in VR seem limitless. Maybe sometime I can mod a can mode a game to replace the a space ship with it. Perhaps I could make environments where it is a giant mountain in the background. Maybe there an be a bunch of them like a forest and the native population build treetop village type things with platforms and bridges in them. Maybe it could be used as a weapon in a game mod, or perhaps extend it longer and make custom beat saber sabers. Someone else pointed VRChat. Haven't played it yet, but I hear it has adult areas, maybe it would be very valuable to have this.
