38m

And it was all worth it....

8 hours of work but I cracked it. A near photo real CGI recreation of our display base we can now animate in interesting ways or recompose the shot when ever we like. 7 Depth Maps, Texture Imaging at 8k and 4 hours of computation to bring it together.

Just realised this was rendered on eevee not cycles so quality will jump a notch or 2 when I do the finals

Build up from the vision and depth data is a bust only option is a digital skull and a colour match... damn! Sadly you can't always win!

What our vision system sees

Spent the last hour scanning our display plinths into a depth map. 500 images later it's starting to look about right.

Looks like the skull data is not good enough and will have to be rebuilt as a digital skull then colour matched. Not the end of the world, it was always going to be a tough one!
