Here we’ll try to use Meshroom and Blender as a pipeline to get to milling quality 3d scans/reconstructions.
Meshroom and Blender are both open source software and so free to download, use and even modify.

Advanced texturing with 3D Studio Max and Meshroom – Asset creation.
First Tests
Gypsum seemed to work out without major problems. I think I had to start the process several times though. Meshroom gets stuck at points. Gypsum sample in Blender with the texture map. Maybe it didn’t realize that the other photo set was flipped. Could figure out how to remove the useless pixels. Flint photoset would get stuck at this point a lot.
