It contains many occluded and difficult corners that make more sense in the scanned mesh than observed through the video. The crucial thing about this modeling process is that it would have been much more difficult to eyeball the whole scene without any kind of blueprint or flattened telephoto shots. That pushed me towards trying to reconstruct the castle on top of the photogrammetry model. The model came out pretty decent but far from the quality needed for a final render. I extracted and selected around 170 frames and processed them with Meshroom.

I found a drone shot of the place on YouTube that didnвЂ™t have edit cuts and was smoothly flown in a circular trajectory and at different heights. Unfortunately, I couldnвЂ™t find good photos of the place at low tide when the lower rocky structure is visible. I gathered all the visual references I could find. One day I stumbled upon this Castle in the middle of the river and couldnвЂ™t help but start a new hobby project. I always get inspired by local old places. IвЂ™m self-taught and owe so much to the amazing Blender community. IвЂ™ve been following its development since then. I did a few things with Blender since the 2.42 version, but I went all-in with it when the 2.5 roadmap was announced. I worked on advertising for a fairly long time and IвЂ™m slowly trying to specialize in environment design. IвЂ™m working as a freelance 3D generalist making science-related animations for a Spanish agency. Hi there! IвЂ™m Felipe Torrents and IвЂ™m from AsunciГіn, Paraguay.
