Collections and still life
Choose a stationary object with visible surface detail and room to photograph it from different directions.
A familiar object, a corner of your room or a place from your travels can be your first scene. Use free MakeWorlds Standard to work from captured images and video to a Gaussian scene on your own computer.
Choose a manageable first subject
A familiar room
Start with one corner, its objects, windows and connections instead of trying to cover an entire building.
A place from your travels
Capture a connected place with photos from different positions or a steady moving video.
01
How to capture this kind of scene
For a first attempt, choose a small subject with steady lighting and room to move around it. Keep images sharp, change your position and keep the subject still.
-
Cover what you want to keep
Use overlapping views from different directions, changing height to cover the top and sides.
-
Choose photos or video
Photos make individual views easy to review; video helps record a continuous space. Choose the matching workflow and leave unrelated footage out.
-
Review the original media first
Exclude clearly blurred images, unnecessary duplicates and abrupt exposure changes from the reconstruction input. Keep the original files and give the project a recognizable name.
02
Review and refine in MakeWorlds
Find the first area that needs another view
Look at the back, edges and base of the subject. For missing coverage, consider another capture before repeatedly processing the same media.
Keep an editable project
Remove unwanted background and floating content, save the Studio project and then export the scene you need.
03
Finish a small scene before expanding
Free Standard provides local reconstruction, training, basic editing and PLY export. Open the exported file in a Gaussian-compatible tool; if you need web sharing, check the upcoming edition plans.
