In today's video, i'm rock climbing a mountain and 3D scanning the entire thing from the top. I'll be guiding you through my aerial photogrammetry process, breaking down important tips for you while scanning on-location, and running you through the entire post process in Reality Capture. We'll go over stitching our data set together, meshing our point cloud, and baking hi-res textures to a simplified mesh. And in the end, we'll view our final scans in Unreal Engine 5 after buildilng a customizable master material. So gear up, and let's get scanning!

    As an avid rock climber all the work in this video is incredible, mad respect to you and Jan for that adventure and then immortalizing it with the scan!
  • @telebeam6144
    I don't do 3d work. I have no interest in doing 3d work. And yet I consistently become engrossed by these lengthy-ass tutorials just on the power Clint's specificity and obvious passion. True champ.
  • @LaSerpentDEden
    Having followed Clint from the beginnings of corridor back to this channel is such a mind-blowing experience. I just can't stop watching and being inspired by Clint in the same way he gets inspired by others. It feels indescribable
  • @ranchy9264
    Thank you so much for doing this! I'm just getting started with 3d scanning and having access to this incredibly thorough documentation is amazing😁
  • @sotomonte_
    Four minutes in, and as I expected, this video is very SPECIAL!!! I can't wait to re-watch it with better internet whenever I get home from vacations at the highest quality. It's clear how hard you worked on this video, and the result speaks for itself. Much love! <3
  • From start to finish this was a fantastic tutorial, thanks Clint! Also being a rock climber this gets me excited to photoscan some of my favorite outdoor climbs.
  • Love your channel man! Been getting more into UE lately and its been a ton of fun.
  • @dani6816
    Currently the best 3D guy on youtube! , you are doing the right things for us , also maintaining an awesome community in discord , man THANK YOU!
  • That was a superb workflow and thorough explanation! I just started learning UE5 and this was so easy for me to follow. Thanks for uploading!
  • @JimiJames
    Clint, you are the man. The first portion of this video really made me feel inspired. I love the integration of your hobbies.
  • @michaelhere985
    Top notch quality content as always pwnisher. Such a great video!
  • @LuxoJunior
    Ahhh Clint! Epic & chill, this was the best thank you ❤️
  • @Nidy1135
    Impressive work, both the climbing and the art. I like your tutorial style, specially that you cover the details. Keep it up😁!
  • You get better results if you export two sets of images from lightroom. One contrasty for Model Generation, one delit for Texture Generation. It is possible to tell RC to use these sets :-)
  • @Katzenha
    Insane! I love the energy to make something really special and cool. Big probs to you and your team
  • @oxygencube
    Dude! That was awesome. Some great tips here. Thank you
  • @KillerTacos54
    Fantastic video Clint! Would love to see more stuff like this. It’s cool how this video was technically teased by Jan in the NERF finger video on Corridor. Also we’re only 7K subs away from 1M!!! Omg omg so excited for you Clint
