Gave Abhishek an introduction to photogrammetry and did a demo by scanning him. 
![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rkky8weKh.gif)
![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1qI8veKh.jpg)


Later I reused this set of photogrammetry images to create a **nerf** using [Luma Ai](https://lumalabs.ai/).

*What in tarnation is a NeRF?*

A neural radiance field (NeRF) is a fully-connected neural network that can generate novel views of complex 3D scenes, based on a partial set of 2D images. It is trained to use a rendering loss to reproduce input views of a scene. It works by taking input images representing a scene and interpolating between them to render one complete scene. NeRF is a highly effective way to generate images for synthetic data.

tldr: its a kind of photogrammetry, but with better recreation of things like.. material properties, something that in regular photogrammetry is not possible, one has to usually tweak the material properties in a post process .. process.ie: open the scan in blender and manually apply material shaders.

see that below:

and then modified in blender.. some minor posing and material groups.
Re-did the lighting and colors in Sketchfab to make it more presentable..
then went back to blender, did a basic rig and animated it.
